Published: March 2022

Learning outcomes
At the end of the case discussion, students would be able to: design key account selection criteria for the organization’s vast clients; analyse the application of key account management (KAM) strategies in a business-to-business (B2B) segment for revenue growth for a medium-scale enterprise; recognize the significance of KAM in a B2B space for a scale enterprise; and assess the proficiency of Univ Manufacturers (UM) for KAM in addressing the existing challenges and managing business growth.

Case overview/synopsis
Tarun, the proprietor of UM, has recently received two big orders, one from Ram Enterprise, a long-standing client since 2011 of INR 2m (10% profit margin) and another order from a new client based in Chennai, a growing pharmaceutical products company, of order size of INR 2.3m (15% profit margin). Both the orders were required to be completed within 15 days. The new client with higher value and better returns could help UM enter the south India market, whereas business from the existing client was also profitable. Despite both orders being necessary for business survival and expansion, fulfilling them on schedule posed a huge challenge. Tarun wanted to fulfil both orders. He knew similar situations might arise in future. He advocated prioritizing customers, which made him contemplate KAM. On what basis he should categorize his customers was a big question. Tarun felt that it was time for UM to strategize relationship management with his customers. He wanted to optimize the partnerships. Tarun knew he wanted to introduce KAM, but was firm-level internal capabilities were enough for key account execution. What would be the feasible outcomes if KAM is applied at UM? What must he do to prevent such situations in the future?

Authors: Yu Heyao , Shum Cass , Alcorn Michelle , Sun Jie , He Zhaoli 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThere has been a dramatic increase in the adoption of service robots in hotels, potentially replacing the human workforce. Drawing on Social Amplification of Risk Framework, this study aims to examine the moderating effect of transformational leadership on the indirect relationships between Gen Z employees’ tech-savviness and social skills on industry turnover intention via service robot risk awareness (SRRA).Design/methodology/approachThis study collected two-wave time-lagged multilevel data of 281 frontline Gen Z hotel employees from 54 departments in China. Participants were asked to rate their tech-savviness, social skills and SRRA in the first survey. They rated their supervisor’s transformational leadership and industry turnover intention one week later.FindingsMultilevel path analysis results showed SRRA mediates the negative indirect relationship of Gen Z employee’s tech-savviness and social skills on industry turnover intention. Transformational leadership weakened the positive effect of SRRA on industry turnover intention.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the growing literature on service robots by investigating the antecedents and outcomes of employees’ SRRA. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is one of the first empirical studies investigating the role of leadership to mitigate the negative consequences of employee’s SRRA. Managers can use the results of this study to implement training programs and ensure that employees and service robots successfully coexist in the workplace.

Authors: Fauzi Muhammad Ashraf 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to review relevant studies concerning consumer purchase of halal-certified products. A total of 35 studies related to the consumer purchasing behavior of halal-certified products in top-tier journals have been identified according to the recommended systematic literature review methodology.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review approach was implemented to examine, summarize and finally interpret the relevant research stream pertaining to consumer purchase of halal-certified products.

Findings
There are five research streams extracted from this systematic review, halal study context, theories adapted, covariance-based-structural equation modeling (SEM) vs partial least square-SEM, Muslim vs nonMuslim consumer and role of religiosity. Despite the growing interest in the quantitative approach in consumer purchase behavior in halal-certified products, scholars in halal consumer studies must have a greater extent of work. These include incorporating diverse theories in the framework, an advanced SEM approach, and relevant determinants to capture consumer purchasing of halal-certified products in the highly anticipated and profitable Muslim market.

Research limitations/implications
Findings would help researchers in halal studies to consider and contemplate critical issues, according to the research stream presented in this review.

Published: March 2022

PurposeBased on the essence of the legitimacy and agency theories, this study empirically investigates the influence of corporate governance attributes and ownership structures on sustainability reporting of companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), India.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on panel data regression analysis of sustainability reporting practices of 53 environmentally sensitive companies drawn from NIFTY100 Index at NSE. All data pertaining to sustainability information disclosure, ownership structure and corporate governance characteristics were sourced from sustainability report, business responsibility report, annual report and Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) database for the years 2015–2019.FindingsThe empirical result reveals that sustainability reporting scenario has been consistently improving in India. This study documents that government ownership and frequency of board meetings are the two most important factors significantly influencing the extent of sustainability information disclosure of companies. However, the present study failed to find any significant impact of board size and big4 auditing on sustainability reporting practices. Unexpectedly, a higher number of independent directors does not improve sustainability disclosure of companies in India.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first studies to investigate how the nature of ownership and corporate governance characteristics contribute to or impede sustainability reporting practices of companies in India. This study offers important insights to regulators, practitioners and investors to analyze whether sustainability disclosure of companies is influenced by corporate governance attributes. It also provides a perspective for regulators and corporate strategists to assess the impact of recent corporate governance reforms in India and consider how corporate governance mechanism can be used to improve sustainability reporting practices.

Published: March 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the aging society situation, long-term care (LTC) policy preparation, COVID-19’s impact on older people, and post-pandemic preparations in Thailand and the implications for The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries.Design/methodology/approachOnline databases from international, national, academic agencies and SCOPUS database from January 2019 to July 2021 were utilized for analysis. Relevant literature and data were selected for review.FindingsThe evidence suggests that the proportion of the aging population is increasing due to declined fertility and rising life expectancy. Current and future demand for effective healthcare in ASEAN will be better achieved with policies like the Universal Health Coverage and Primary Health Care system. While some countries, specifically Thailand, are developing and expanding their LTC policies, some concerns regarding the active aging policy remain. Most ASEAN countries are using public domain for LTC policies. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed a major challenge in implementing LTC and affected the vulnerable aging population in many aspects, including social protection issues in Thailand.Originality/valueWith the support from international organizations, ASEAN countries have framed several policy strategies in response to the increasing aging population, such as providing more LTC in the community. The unexpected challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic compel policymakers to consider resource allocations and community-based services. On the positive side, as the pandemic has made the vulnerable group exposed, social protection issues have been brought to the forefront of the political debate and called for an appropriate policy response.
Cyclic di‐GMP triggers the hypoxic adaptation of Mycobacterium bovis through a metabolic switching regulator ArgR
Authors: Zhang Jiaxun , Hu Lihua , Zhang Hua , He Zheng‐Guo 
Published: March 2022

SummaryDuring infection, intracellular pathogens inevitably face the pressure of hypoxia. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis represent two typical intracellular bacteria, but the signalling pathway of their adaptation to hypoxia remains unclear. Here, we report a new mechanism of the hypoxic adaptation in M. bovis driven by the second messenger molecule c‐di‐GMP. We found that c‐di‐GMP was significantly accumulated in bacterial cells under hypoxic stress and blocked the inhibitory activity of ArgR, an arginine metabolism gene cluster regulator, which increased arginine synthesis and slowed tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) and aerobic respiration. Meanwhile, c‐di‐GMP relieved the self‐inhibition of argR expression, and ArgR could interact with the nitrite metabolic gene regulator Cmr, promoting the positive regulation of Cmr and, thereafter, the nitrite respiration. Consistently, c‐di‐GMP significantly induced the expression of arginine and nitrite metabolism gene clusters and increased the mycobacterial survival ability under hypoxia. Therefore, we found a new function of the second messenger molecule c‐di‐GMP and characterized ArgR as a metabolic switching regulator that can coordinate the c‐di‐GMP signal to trigger hypoxic adaptation in mycobacteria. Our findings provide a potential new target for blocking the life cycle of M. tuberculosis infection.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBifidobacterium animalis CP‐9 was a commensal strain isolated from human breast milk. In this study, genetic and 90‐day oral toxicity were assessed in rodents for its safety. Ames test as well as in vivo bone marrow micronucleus and spermatocyte chromosomal aberration were surveyed in mice. B. animalis CP‐9 exhibited no mutagenic activity in the Ames test at the highest tested dosage (5000 µg/plate) with or without metabolic activation. No evidence of in vivo genetic toxicity was observed at the maximum tested dosage of 10 g/kg body weight (BW). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference of the biochemical and histological parameters in the rats administrated with B. animalis CP‐9 at dosages of 0, 0.25, 0.5, or 1.5 g/kg BW/day. No indication of concern for pathogenicity was exhibited during evaluation of Bifidobacterium ssp. generally, or B. animalis specifically. It was noted that B. animalis CP‐9 was able to survive in gastric acid‐like and high bile salt environment, and showed strong adhesion to the intestinal epithelial cells, Caco‐2. Intriguingly, B. animalis CP‐9 decreased olic acid‐induced triglyceral (TG) accumulation in the Caco‐2 cells, and viable B. animalis CP‐9 had a better bacteriostatic activity compared to another well‐documented B. animalis ssp. lactis, BB‐12. Based on the present study, B. animalis CP‐9 can be a safe probiotic supplement and may improve the health of host.Practical ApplicationAlthough the health benefits of probiotics are well known, the safety of a probiotic product is acquired particularly for a long‐term consumption. We conduct the safety of B. animalis CP‐9 isolated from human breast milk, and demonstrate no toxicity concern in vitro and in vivo. Hence, B. animalis CP‐9 powder can be used as a commercial and safe probiotic supplement with some health benefits.

AbstractThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is of central importance to the immune system, and an optimal MHC diversity is believed to maximize pathogen elimination. Birds show substantial variation in MHC diversity, ranging from few genes in most bird orders to very many genes in passerines. Our understanding of the evolutionary trajectories of the MHC in passerines is hampered by lack of data on genomic organization. Therefore, we assembled and annotated the MHC genomic region of the great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus), using long‐read sequencing and optical mapping. The MHC region is large (>5.5 Mb), characterized by structural changes compared to hitherto investigated bird orders and shows higher repeat content than the genome average. These features were supported by analyses in three additional passerines. MHC genes in passerines are found in two different chromosomal arrangements, either as single copy MHC genes located among non‐MHC genes, or as tandemly duplicated tightly linked MHC genes. Some single copy MHC genes are old and putative orthologues among species. In contrast tandemly duplicated MHC genes are monophyletic within species and have evolved by simultaneous gene duplication of several MHC genes. Structural differences in the MHC genomic region among bird orders seem substantial compared to mammals and have possibly been fuelled by clade‐specific immune system adaptations. Our study provides methodological guidance in characterizing complex genomic regions, constitutes a resource for MHC research in birds, and calls for a revision of the general belief that avian MHC has a conserved gene order and small size compared to mammals.

AbstractBackgroundThe Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a representative frailty assessment tool in medicine. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to examine whether frailty defined based on the CFS could adequately predict short‐term mortality in emergency department (ED) patients.MethodsThe PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane libraries were searched for eligible studies until December 23, 2021. We included studies in which frailty was measured by the CFS and short‐term mortality was reported for ED patients. All studies were screened by two independent researchers. Sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) values were calculated based on the data extracted from each study. Additionally, the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was calculated for effect size analysis, and the area under the curve (AUC) of summary receiver operating characteristics was calculated. Outcomes were in‐hospital and 1‐month mortality rate for patients with the CFS scores of ≥5, ≥6, and ≥7.ResultsOverall, 17 studies (n = 45,022) were included. Although there was no evidence of publication bias, a high degree of heterogeneity was observed. For the CFS score of ≥5, the PLR, NLR, and DOR values for in‐hospital mortality were 1.446 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.325–1.578), 0.563 (95% CI 0.355–0.893), and 2.728 (95% CI 1.872–3.976), respectively. In addition, the pooled statistics for 1‐month mortality were 1.566 (95% CI 1.241–1.976), 0.582 (95% CI 0.430–0.789), and 2.696 (95% CI 1.673–4.345), respectively. Subgroup analysis of trauma patients revealed that the CFS score of ≥5 could adequately predict in‐hospital mortality (PLR 1.641, 95% CI 1.242–2.170; NLR 0.580, 95% CI 0.461–0.729; DOR 2.883, 95% CI 1.994–4.168). The AUC values represented sufficient to good diagnostic accuracy.ConclusionsEvidence that is published to date suggests that the CFS is an accurate and reliable tool for predicting short‐term mortality in emergency patients.

AbstractBackgroundIndividuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) often show processing deficits in all sensory modalities. Using an operant light reinforcement model, we tested whether prenatal ethanol exposure (PE) alters operant responding to elicit a contingent sensory stimulus—light onset (turning on the light) and habituation to this behavior in rats. We also explored whether postnatal environmental enrichment could ameliorate PE‐induced deficits.MethodsPregnant Sprague Dawley rats were gavaged twice/day with 0 or 3 g/kg/treatment ethanol (15% w/v) during gestational days 8–20, mimicking second‐trimester heavy PE in humans. The offspring were reared in a standard housing condition or an enriched condition. Adult male and female offspring underwent an operant light reinforcement experiment with either a short‐access or a long‐access procedure. A dishabituation test was also conducted to characterize the habituation process.ResultsIn the short‐access procedure, PE led to increased operant responding to the contingent light onset in both sexes reared in the standard housing condition. Such an effect was not observed in rats reared in enriched conditions due to an overall decrease in responding. Moreover, rats reared in enriched conditions showed greater short‐term habituation. In the long access procedure, PE rats showed increased responding and impaired long‐term habituation. The long‐access procedure facilitated both short‐term and long‐term habituation in control and PE rats.ConclusionPrenatal ethanol exposure increases responding to contingent light onset and impairs the long‐term habituation process. The PE‐induced deficits were ameliorated by rearing in the enriched environment and increasing the duration and frequency of exposure to light onset. The PE‐induced effects are like increased sensation‐seeking, a subtype of sensory‐processing deficit that is often observed in individuals with FASD. Our findings could inform a suitable animal model for investigating the underlying mechanisms and possible intervention strategies for sensory deficits in FASD.
