Exploring teaching effectiveness and research on teaching and learning at AACSB accredited business schools in Canada and the US
Authors: Siddiqui Sanobar , Lento Camillo 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study explores the implementation of two Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) standards by business schools across Canada and the US. First, this study examines how teaching effectiveness is defined and measured in light of Standard 7 (Teaching Effectiveness and Impact). Second, this study explores the value of research on teaching and learning in relation to Standard 8 (Impact of Scholarship).Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a thematic analysis framework based on data obtained from an online survey, semi-structured interviews, and policy documents.FindingsThe results reveal that business schools rarely define teaching effectiveness; instead, they adopt various measures to evaluate teaching effectiveness. The results reveal that research on teaching and learning alone usually does not lead to tenure; however, it is valued if part of a portfolio that includes discipline-specific research. Lastly, this research highlights a stigma associated with research on teaching and learning relative to discipline-specific research.Practical implicationsThis study introduces a comprehensive and integrated teaching evaluation framework that can be adopted to define teaching effectiveness and elevate the teaching function. In addition, the authors argue that business schools should nurture a niche set of academics that holds PhDs in their respective disciplines and are education experts to increase the production of research-informed instructional strategies curated for business schools.Originality/valueThis is the first study to explore how AACSB standards related to teaching effectiveness and research on teaching and learning are interpreted and implemented at AACSB accredited business schools.

Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study aims to investigate whether gender predicts financial inclusion and whether education can fill the gender gap in financial inclusion when controlling for the effects of supply side factors of financial inclusion in low-income economies.Design/methodology/approachThis study aims to investigate whether gender predicts financial inclusion and whether education can fill the gender gap in financial inclusion when controlling for the effects of supply side factors of financial inclusion in low-income economies.FindingsThe findings provided support for the gender gap in financial inclusion using the most basic measure of financial inclusion. However, using formal savings and access to credit, the gender gap hypothesis is not supported. Moreover, the results revealed that education reduces the gender gap in the basic form of financial inclusion. However, this study could not find any significant difference between men and women's financial inclusion in terms of saving at a bank or borrowing from a bank though men tend to save more than women informally.Originality/valueThe current study contributes to the literature by examining the role of education in the relationship between gender gap and financial inclusion when controlling for the effects of heterogeneous infrastructure and the supply side factors of financial inclusion among the selected countries.

Published: April 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine and validate the role of electronic word of mouth (eWOM), a mediating factor between the marketing mix elements (product, price, place and promotion) and women's purchasing intention of children's dietary supplements in the Jordanian environment culture context.

Design/methodology/approach
The data of the research was collected through online and offline questionnaires using a connivance sample of 370 women who have children and live in Amman, the largest city in Jordan.

Findings
The findings showed a partial effect of the eWOM as mediating factor on the relationship between marketing mix elements and women's purchasing intention of children's dietary supplements. The findings also revealed significant positive effects of price and place as marketing mix elements on women's purchasing intention of children's dietary supplements, while the product and promotion elements were found insignificant.

Originality/value
This paper contributed to consumer buying behaviour theories by filling a gap in the literature regarding the role of eWOM as a mediating factor on the relationship between marketing mix elements and women's purchasing intention of children's dietary supplements in a developing country like Jordan for the first time.
Determinants of the risk perception of farmer–herder conflicts: evidence from rural Nigeria
Authors: Nnaji Amaka 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the social, economic and demographic determinants of rural households' risk perception of farmer–herder (FH) conflicts in Nigeria. The paper also investigates two aspects of FH conflict risk perception relating to food production and physical insecurity.Design/methodology/approachA FH conflict risk perception model is constructed and tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), ordinary least squares (OLS) and seemingly unrelated regression equation (SURE) models. The study uses cross-sectional data from 401 rural households in Nigeria.FindingsResults show that in addition to economic determinants like farm size, land ownership and crop diversity, socio-demographic variables like age and number of languages spoken are significant predictors of household risk perception of FH conflict. Second, although gender and frequency of FH conflict have no significant effect on the risk perception of FH conflict, there is a significant moderating effect of frequency of FH conflicts on the influence of gender on the risk perception of FH conflict. Third, findings also highlight the important predictors of the risk perception of FH conflicts relating to food production and physical insecurity.Originality/valueFindings give insight into policies targeted at influencing the risk behaviour of rural households. This is important to aid the development of efficient risk management initiatives.

Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the lubricity of palm biodiesel (PB)–diesel fuel with plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO) and waste cooking biodiesel (WCB).

Design/methodology/approach
Three quaternary fuels were prepared by mechanical stirring. B10 (10% PB in diesel) fuel was blended with 5%, 10% and 15% of both PPO and WCB. The results were compared to B30 (30% PB in diesel) and B10. The lubricity of fuel samples was determined using high-frequency reciprocating rig in accordance with ASTM D6079. The tribological behavior of all fuels was assessed by using scanning electron microscopy on worn steel plates to determine wear scar diameter (WSD) and surface morphology. The reported WSD is the average of the major and minor axis of the wear scar.

Findings
The addition of PPO and WCB to B10 had improved its lubricity while lowering wear and friction coefficients. Among the quaternary fuels, B40 showed the greatest reduction in coefficient of friction and WSD, with 7.63% and 44.5%, respectively, when compared to B10. When compared to B30a, the quaternary fuel mixes (B40, B30b and B20) exhibited significant reduction in WSD by 49.66%, 42.84% and 40.24%, respectively. Among the quaternary fuels, B40 exhibited the best overall lubricating performance, which was supported by surface morphology analysis. The evaluation of B40 indicated a reduced adhesive wear and tribo-oxidation, as well as a smoother metal surface, as compared to B20 and B30b.

Originality/value
Incorporation of PPO and WCB in PB–diesel blend as a quaternary fuel blend in diesel engines has not been reported. Only a few researchers looked into the impact of PPO and WCB on the lubricity of the fuel.

Authors: Kumar Rajesh , Kumar Satish , Mudgal Deepa 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the erosion performance of high velocity oxy fuel- (HVOF) sprayed Al2O3–Cr2O3 composite coatings under silt slurry conditions.

Design/methodology/approach
The requisite HVOF composite coatings has been deposited on the stainless steel substrate (SS-304). The slurry erosion pot tester of make Ducom was used for conducting the silt slurry erosion tests on the required substrates. The comprehensive experiments were conducted at different particle size of silt in the range 212–250, 150–212, 53–106 µm, and the concentration of the silt ranged from 10%–40% by weight. The rotational speed of the pot tester has been varied between 500 and 1,500 revolutions per minute, and the test duration has been kept to 4 h.

Findings
The erosion wear resistance of the uncoated SS-304 has been greatly enhanced by the application of HVOF-sprayed Al2O3–Cr2O3 composite coatings. The addition of CeO2 has a significant impact in reducing the erosive wear caused by silt slurry. The composite coating powder composition of 65%Cr2O3 + 34.5%Al2O3 + 0.5%CeO2 has shown the highest erosion resistance.

Practical implications
The developed coatings have the potential to be used for hydro turbines as subjected to silt slurry conditions.

Originality/value
The erosion wear experiments are conducted comprehensively for coated and uncoated samples and the scanning electron micrographs supports the findings.

Authors: Ni Yuquan , Sun Nannan , Zhu Guixiang , Liu Shujie , Liu Jun , Dong Guangneng 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to study different morphology Cu6Sn5 effect on Babbitt alloy tribological properties.

Design/methodology/approach
Different morphology Cu6Sn5 of Babbitt was conducted by different cooling modes. Bare Babbitt was marked by Babbitt-0, Babbitt modified by first cooling mode (marked by Babbitt-1) and Babbitt modified by second cooling mode (marked by Babbitt-2). The microstructure and microhardness of specimens were tested. Then, tribological properties of Babbitt-0, Babbitt-1 and Babbitt-2 were performed by reciprocating mode under lubricated condition.

Findings
The results showed that shape Cu6Sn5 of Babbitt was changed from mixed needle and star-like shape to short rod-like or granular shape. The microhardness of Babbitt-1 was highest than that of Babbitt-0 and Babbitt-2. Compared with Babbitt-0 and Babbitt-2, tribological properties of Babbitt-1 were better under lubricated condition due to short rod-like and sparse distribution of Cu6Sn5. Moreover, the simulation result of strain and stress of Babbitt-1 was lowest than that of Babbitt-0 and Babbitt-2.

Originality/value
Different morphology (shape and distributed) of Cu6Sn5 was obtained by different cooling modes. Modulated different forms of Cu6Sn5 around SnSb was beneficial to improve Babbitt alloy tribological properties.
Nexus among blockchain visibility, supply chain integration and supply chain performance in the digital transformation era
Authors: Tan Cheng Ling , Tei Zhongkai , Yeo Sook Fern , Lai Kee-Hung , Kumar Ajay , Chung Leanne 
Published: April 2022

PurposeDigital transformation (DT) in the semiconductor industry goes beyond traditional business operations and supply chain management (OSCM) to the digital world. Despite significant developments in recent years, blockchain implementations for OSCM remain relatively underdeveloped in the semiconductor industry. Therefore, this research aims to examine the relationships between blockchain visibility, supply chain integration (SCI) and supply chain performance (SCP) in the era of DT in Malaysia's semiconductor industry to shed light on this emerging area.Design/methodology/approachA convenience sampling of 71 operations and supply chain managers attached to semiconductor manufacturing firms in Malaysia were invited to participate in a survey. In assessing blockchain visibility within the industry, key terms namely business intelligence gathering, information exchange, information technology (IT) and knowledge of asset status, were conceptualised from the literature review. The questionnaires developed to collect data were validated by industry and academic experts.FindingsThe results from the analysis confirmed that SCI mediates the link between blockchain visibility (information exchange, business intelligence gathering and knowledge asset status) and SCP. Likewise, the importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA) outcomes revealed that IT played a minor role. The results suggested that semiconductor manufacturers should pay less attention to IT since this was identified as having the least priority towards improvement.Practical implicationsThe outcomes from this research enable policymakers to strategise and integrate blockchain technology in the era of DT to ensure sustainable SCM in the semiconductor industry in Malaysia.Originality/valueThe research bridge the knowledge gap by revealing the value that blockchain visibility can facilitate SCP and explore SCI as the prevailing factor and demonstrates how Resource-Based Theory and Network Theory can be applied in this study.

Authors: Abdul Ghani Azmi Ilhaamie , Hashim Junaidah 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of human resource management (HRM) practices that facilitate innovation in the public sector in a developing country.Design/methodology/approachQualitative method was engaged whereby a semi-structured interview was conducted to get the responses of two groups of employees which are top management and executive in two types of public organizations which are awarded and non-awarded. The collected data was later analyzed thematically.FindingsThe results show that there are differences and similarities among the public agencies in terms of their implementation of HRM practices that facilitate innovation. Apparently, the awarded public agencies do follow HRM practices that really facilitate innovation such as local training, provide more types of rewards to their employees and set a higher minimum level of innovation in their performance evaluation.Research limitations/implicationsThis research confines only 10 public agencies in Malaysia. Future studies might want to include a larger sample size to make the findings more extensive. It also would be interesting to know different approaches in HRM implemented in the private organizations as well as to examine their influences on performance and other organizational factors.Practical implicationsGood and fair HRM practices such as training, reward and performance appraisal practices that focus on innovation facilitate and produce more innovative employees and organization innovation. Thus, public managers should implement them to a higher extent.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that aims to engage the qualitative method in understanding how HRM practices can facilitate innovation in a developing country.

Authors: Ruokolainen Hilda 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis paper examines the strategies that volunteers use when supporting asylum seekers with their information challenges to be able to develop services for asylum seekers and promote their access to reliable information in the most suitable way.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with seven volunteers who help asylum seekers with their asylum cases in two cities in Finland. The interview data was thematically coded and analysed.FindingsSix types of information-related strategies were identified: information mediatory, language adjustment, spatial and non-verbal communicative, inclusive, and supervisory strategies, as well as strategies with shifting roles. These strategies holistically support asylum seekers' information practices, considering the challenges of their situation and emotional needs.Originality/valueThis study creates new knowledge about volunteers' role in the information practices of asylum seekers, highlighting their unique position both in and outside the asylum system. Information-related strategies are a novel way of examining the ways to holistically support other people's information practices, by understanding that information is intertwined in all kinds of everyday actions and interactions.
Fostering knowledge creation through network capability ambidexterity with the moderation of an innovation climate
Authors: Wang Xiangyang , Li Jiamin , Qi Ying 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to adopt the knowledge-based view and social network theory to investigate the relationship between network capability ambidexterity and knowledge creation (KC) in the context of open innovation. It also examines the moderating effects of innovation climate on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThis paper developed a model including network capability ambidexterity, innovation climate and KC. A total of 463 samples were collected from China to test the model and hypotheses by SEM.FindingsThe empirical results indicate that network capability ambidexterity is the crucial antecedent of KC. Specifically, network capability ambidexterity consists of the balanced and combined dimensions that both have significant and positive effects on KC. More importantly, the balanced dimension has a stronger effect on KC than the combined. In addition, an innovation climate positively moderates the effects of network capability ambidexterity and KC.Originality/valueThis study advances a new understanding of how network capability ambidexterity influences KC. Moreover, investigating the relationships should provide fresh insights into network capabilities and KC for practitioners in the open innovation context.

Social sustainability in the supply chain: a literature review of the adoption, approaches and (un)intended outcomes
Authors: Alghababsheh Mohammad , Gallear David 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe concept of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) integrates the environmental and social sustainability dimensions into the management of supply chains. However, the understanding of the management of social sustainability in the supply chain is relatively underdeveloped. This paper, therefore, seeks to explore the adoption, emerging approaches and the (un)intended outcomes of social sustainability in the supply chain as well as supply chain social sustainability in the Arab world.Design/methodology/approachThis paper systematically reviews 396 peer-reviewed papers on social sustainability in the supply chain published between 1997 and 2020.FindingsThe review identifies and discusses three types of factors influencing the adoption of social sustainability in the supply chain: drivers, enablers and barriers. The review also identifies four main approaches to tackling social issues in the supply chain, namely an internal approach (e.g. internal adaptation), a hands-off approach (e.g. supplier switching), a hands-on approach (e.g. collaboration practices) and a relational approach (e.g. justice). The review also reveals that although addressing these issues can generate positive outcomes, it can also lead to unintended negative outcomes such as increased social violations and the perception of unfairness among suppliers.Originality/valueThis study complements the existing literature reviews on the social dimension of SSCM by not only providing an update of the current literature and shedding light on an emerging approaches (e.g. justice) to tackling social issues in supply chains but also by exposing the unintended negative consequences of tackling social issues, a subject that has largely been overlooked to date.
