When less isn't more and more isn't less: is there an overlap between “protected designation of origin”, “mountain product” and “organic” in Italy?
Authors: Stiletto Alice , Trestini Samuele 
Published: December 2022

PurposeUsing a generic cheese as an anchor product, in this study consumers' preferences for different EU quality schemes have been investigated. Specifically, the study aims to understand whether “Protected Designation of Origin” (PDO), “Organic” and “Mountain Product” labels are independent or if there are some synergies existing between them, questioning – at the same time – whether this alleged exchange of value plays a positive or negative role in terms of consumers' willingness to pay.Design/methodology/approachA discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted on 600 Italian consumers performing a random parameter logit model. The respondents were representative of the Italian population in terms of age, gender and geographical distribution. Consumers' preferences for the presence of “Organic” and “Mountain product” labels were assessed in the DCE, together with the effect of price, for both PDO and generic cheeses.FindingsConsumers are willing to pay a premium in price for “Organic” and “Mountain Product” per se, for cheese with and without the PDO denomination. Considering the interaction effects, results showed that the combined use of “Organic” and “Mountain Product” labels do not decrease consumers' intention to buy. However, when applied on a PDO product, these attributes generate a lower consumers' willingness to pay in comparison with the generic ones, highlighting a possible overlapping between them.Originality/valueDespite the abundant literature on EU quality schemes in many food categories, this study represents one of the first attempts to measure the interaction effect between different EU quality schemes.
Evolutionary game analysis of the intelligent upgrading of smart solar photovoltaic projects
Authors: Hu Yibo , Song Jinbo , Zhao Tingting 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThe development of China's solar photovoltaic (PV) industry is in a transition period from pursuing scale and speed to focusing on efficiency and quality. “Smart PV projects” (SPVPs) were proposed by the ministries of the Chinese government in 2018 to encourage intelligent upgrading and to fill the gaps in traditional PV projects. However, only a small number of PV enterprises are in progress, and only a few SPVPs have been built. The intelligence level of China's PV projects needs to be improved. The purpose of this study is to analyze the willingness of the main participants to be involved in the intelligent upgrading of PV projects by establishing an evolutionary game model that includes three parties.Design/methodology/approachA tripartite evolutionary game model is constructed that considers PV enterprises, project owners and the government. The evolutionary stability strategies of each party and the corresponding stable conditions are obtained. The parameters that affect the decision behaviors are also analyzed.FindingsThe four stages of the intelligent upgrade of PV projects and the effects of the government subsidy strategies are examined. At different stages, adopting different measures to promote cooperation among the three parties involved is necessary. Government subsidies should be provided to PV enterprises during the initial stage and should be biased toward project owners during the intermediate stage. During the peak stage, PV enterprises constantly need to decrease project costs and improve quality and service, thus helping project owners reduce their initial investments and obtain additional gains. The government's reputation drives it to continually adopt incentive strategies.Originality/valueThis research focuses on the interactions among the three parties. Based on evolutionary game analysis, several conditions that facilitate the intelligent upgrading of PV projects are illustrated. Implications for different developing stages are proposed from the perspectives of each party for the decision-makers of SPVPs.
20 years of workplace diversity research in hospitality and tourism: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Mohammadi Zohre , Bhati Abhishek , Ng Eddy 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis paper charts the development of diversity research in hospitality and tourism (H&T) as a field of study. The authors are interested in how diversity has been studied, where diversity scholarship has been published, who are the leading diversity scholars and whether the scholars work has been influential. In addition, the authors identified the institutions and countries that contribute significantly to diversity scholarship in H&T.Design/methodology/approachThe authors draw from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, Scopus and Australian Business Dean's Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List covering 109 journals to identify the relevant articles on workplace diversity in H&T. The authors conducted evaluative and relational bibliometric techniques to assess the prominence of diversity scholarship in the field.FindingsDiversity research in H&T did not gain traction until 2005. Using Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: An International Journal as a benchmark, the authors found that diversity research in H&T closely tracked the diversity topics in general organization and management literature. However, H&T lagged in race and ethnic, as well as gender identity research. A majority of diversity research is published in leading (top-ranked) journals, signifying the value of diversity scholarship in H&T. Hospitality journals published the most articles, while tourism journals reported the highest impact. Scholars based in the USA, China and the United Kingdom (UK) contributed the most diversity articles, but one researcher, Osman M. Karatepe (Turkey), stood out as the most productive and influential diversity scholar in H&T.Practical implicationsThe insights from this study aid H&T scholars in identifying trends and opportunities in diversity research, assessing the productivity and impact of various journals and databases, locating collaborative opportunities (through co-citations and highly productive and influential institutions and scholars) and benchmarking the scholars’ own work.Originality/valueGiven an absence of prior review and diversity research has only gained ground in the H&T literature since 2005, this bibliometric study offers a fossil record and documents the trajectory of diversity scholarship in H&T, identifies the scholars who are active in this area of research and highlights institutions and countries where diversity research is conducted.
Strengthening precarity? A critical analysis of education and training programmes in the UK (Scotland)
Authors: Doyle Lesley , Wang Geng 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to examine the provision of education and training programmes for young people in Scotland for work and lifelong learning within the context of the skills ecosystem approach adopted by the Scottish Government.Design/methodology/approachThe research drew upon findings from a large EU-funded multi-country project which ran from 2016 to 2019 that comprised experiences and perspectives with young people who were affected by these programmes as well as the managers and practitioners tasked with delivering them. The work was conducted in Aberdeenshire and Glasgow and included in-depth interviews with young people and programme managers and practitioners.FindingsThe research showed that there is a gap between the rhetoric of the intentions of the policies and how those involved at ground level experience the programmes enacted under policies which draw on a skill ecosystem approach. Whilst there was public funding for training, it was not clear from the enactment of the relevant policies where employers' responsibilities lie. Locating the findings in the skills ecosystem model highlights the weak engagement of employers in their pivotal role in the education and training system and the resulting increased precarity of the young people's futures.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper sheds light on the shape of education and training provision in Scotland, the range of participants engaged in the provision and the commitment of providers in comparison to policy language and intentions.Originality/valueThrough the skill ecosystem approach, this paper draws together policy narratives and the experiences of young people.

Authors: Wiengarten Frank , Durach Christian F. , Franke Henrik , Netland Torbjørn H. , Schmidt Fabian K. 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis study is intended to motivate and guide future researchers to rethink and update their theories of operational capability development. By examining the extensive body of research on operational capabilities and working closely with an industry partner, the authors are iteratively developing new thinking about why our existing models seem to be failing and what aspects are likely to be useful in updating them.Design/methodology/approachThis pathway paper is based on observations gained through a structured literature review, close collaboration with an industry partner and discussions with other industry partners and executives.FindingsThe authors identify ways in which the operations management community could begin to challenge and expand existing models of operational capability development. They provide reflections on the network structure of operational capabilities, i.e. their interconnectedness and interactions, which are likely to evolve dynamically over time and have not yet been part of the authors’ thinking about operational capability development.Originality/valueThe authors hope to stimulate new research through this pathway paper. By synthesizing their existing knowledge of operational capabilities and collaborating with an industry partner, the authors have attempted to highlight their limited knowledge of capability development. In addition, the authors offer several opportunities to rethink their existing models.
Homogenous or heterogeneous? Demand effect of reviewer similarity in online video website
Authors: Yang Jun , Kong Demei , Huang Hongjun 
Published: December 2022

PurposeNowadays, online platforms which provide products or services try to implement their homegrown communities to facilitate users' social interactions. Reviewers' activities in these communities can reflect their interests. Based on the theory of homophily, the authors aim to explore the impacts of the reviewer preference similarity and opinion similarity on the rate of product diffusion.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the authors construct reviewer similarity network based on their common interests and propose typical network metrics to measure reviewer preference similarity. Second, the authors measure reviewer opinion similarity with natural language processing. Finally, based on a panel data from an online video platform in China, both the fixed-effect and random-effect panel data models are constructed.FindingsThe authors find that reviewer preference similarity has a positive effect on the product diffusion, whereas reviewer opinion similarity has a negative effect on the diffusion. Furthermore, temporal distance moderates the relationship between reviewer similarity and the product diffusion. As a double-edged sword, review preference similarity hinders product diffusion in the initial phase, whereas benefits it in the later phase. Reviewer opinion similarity is always detrimental to product diffusion, especially in the initial phase.Originality/valueThis paper extends the understanding of homophily from the micro peer level to the group level by constructing reviewers' similarity network and highlights the important role of reviewer preference similarity and opinion similarity in product diffusion. The results also provide important insights for managers to design and implement diversity strategies for better product adoption in the community context.
The impact of cultural variability on brand stereotype, emotion and purchase intention
Authors: Jakubanecs Alexander , Supphellen Magne , Helgeson James G. , Haugen Hege Mathea , Sivertstøl Njål 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
This study aims to focus on an interplay of brand stereotypes (Brands as Intentional Agents Framework [BIAF]) with an aspect of culture and its impact on behavioral intentions in an individualist culture (Norway) and a collectivist culture (Thailand).

Design/methodology/approach
This study incorporates a survey conducted in two cultures (Norway: N = 177 and Thailand: N = 288).

Findings
In both cultures, competence had a stronger effect on purchase intentions toward a brand than warmth. There was a stronger effect on brand purchase intentions of competence found for an individualist versus a collectivist culture, and we found a stronger effect of warmth on purchase intentions in a collectivist versus an individualist culture. The direct joint effect of warmth and competence on purchase intentions was brand-specific in Norway. Admiration mediated this joint effect in the collectivist but not in the individualist culture.

Research limitations/implications
This study’s results point to cross-cultural variability of some of the effects of brand perceptions on behavioral intentions.

Practical implications
These findings suggest that international brand managers should consider both the cultural universality and the cultural variability of BIAF.

Originality/value
Despite extensive research on BIAF, studies on brand perceptions from the cross-cultural perspective are few. This investigation sheds some light on the differential effects of the framework across a collectivist and an individualist culture.
Environmental dynamism and sustainability: the mediating role of innovation, strategic flexibility and HR development
Authors: Kafetzopoulos Dimitrios 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine whether environmental dynamism can drive firms to adopt sustainability, taking into consideration the mediating role of the innovation process, strategic flexibility and human resource development in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed framework is tested by confirmatory factor analysis and finally structural equation modeling (SEM) using the survey data from 513 Greek firms.FindingsThe results show that environmental dynamism drives firms to sustainability, but the introduction of innovation process, strategic flexibility and human resource development fully mediate the effect of this relationship.Research limitations/implicationsThis study explores three organizational factors. In future research it would be very interesting to explore other topics that affect sustainability. Moreover, it might be useful for researchers to examine firms' digital capability and ambidextrous sustainability.Practical implicationsThis study offers clear implications for managers, proving that innovation process, strategic flexibility and human resource development are critical factors in achieving sustainability.Originality/valueThis empirical study determines the contribution of environmental dynamism to sustainability taking into consideration the role of three critical organizational factors as mediators in this relationship.
Professional skills required by accountants for applying international financial reporting standards: implications from Indonesia
Authors: Maradona Agus Fredy , Chand Parmod , Lodhia Sumit 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify the professional skills and competencies of accountants that support a successful implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The authors further investigate the extent to which professional accountants have developed these skills through professional training.

Design/methodology/approach
In the survey, Indonesian accountants were provided with a list of 47 skill items under nine categories of professional skills and were asked to rate the importance of each skill item and to indicate the level of priority given to the development of the skill items in the professional training they have undertaken. Their responses provide insights into the skills needed for applying IFRS and the adequacy of professional training in providing these skills.

Findings
The authors find that accounting judgement is considered to be the most necessary skill for applying IFRS. Likewise, the findings show that ethical skills and certain generic skills are also perceived to be necessary for adequate application of IFRS, while skills relating to cultural sensitivity are viewed as least important. The findings further demonstrate that professional training programmes need to emphasise the development of judgement and other relevant skills that are important skill categories for applying IFRS.

Research limitations/implications
This study extends the literature on IFRS implementation through a specific focus on the professional skills required by accountants.

Practical implications
These findings have important policy implications for the standard-setters, regulators, auditors and to professional training providers across the world, such as professional accounting associations, accounting firms and educational institutions, for evaluating the content of the training and education programmes being delivered to accountants to prepare them with the relevant skills for applying IFRS.

Originality/value
This study is one of the first to examine the importance of various types of skills necessary for accountants in applying IFRS and the extent to which these skills have been developed through the professional accounting training provided.
Exploring Customer Perceived Value towards non-deceptive counterfeiting: a grounded theory approach
Authors: Samaddar Kaushik , Gandhi Aradhana 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThe study explores and builds theories in Customer Perceived Values (CPVs) that drive counterfeit buying intention, using a Grounded Theory Approach (GTA) in an emerging market, India.Design/methodology/approachCounterfeit studies have either resorted to a survey approach or modelling approach in investigating various aspects and dimensions. This study, among a few, attempted a GTA in building theory on CPVs. Based on the observations and recorded responses that emerged through several Focus Group Discussions (FGDs); conducted in two metropolitan cities (India), newer insights into this illicit phenomenon of “Counterfeiting” were derived.FindingsAdding to the counterfeit literature, the study presents a comprehensive view of the CPVs. Findings reveal economic, socio-normative, pleasure-based, euphemistic, acquisition-centrality, self-regulating, situational and sustainable consumption values that influence counterfeit attitudes and in turn impact counterfeit buying intentions. Although Economic Values (ECV) have been the primary motivation for counterfeit purchase, complex and newer values that emerged through this research study bears significance.Practical implicationsAs a single point of reference, this study will provide impetus to scholars and academicians in expanding the counterfeit research domain. While aiding policymakers and marketers in further understanding this illicit practice, it will also guide brand managers in strategizing their offerings and reaching out to the masses with strong brand aesthetic values.Originality/valueBased on a systematic literature review using the 4 Ws framework, this study is one of the few attempts that has adopted a GTA to explore and develop theories on CPVs in counterfeit research.
Clinical effect of omalizumab as an adjuvant treatment to rituximab in patient with refractory bullous pemphigoid
Authors: Kwon Il Joo , Kim Taehee , Yoo Dae San , Min Seoyeon , Kim Soo‐Chan , Kim Jong Hoon 
Published: December 2022

AbstractPatients with refractory bullous pemphigoid (BP) achieve remission after rituximab treatment but require high‐dose systemic corticosteroids until the remission. The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the clinical efficacy of omalizumab as an adjuvant treatment to rituximab in patients with refractory BP. Patients with BP receiving treatment with either rituximab monotherapy or rituximab plus omalizumab were considered for the study. The total dose of corticosteroids received for 60 days after administration of rituximab, mortality and relapse rates, and median time to relapse were also investigated. Of 49 patients included in the study, 25 received rituximab monotherapy and 17 received the combination therapy with rituximab and omalizumab. The rituximab plus omalizumab group showed shorter time to disease control with minimal treatment (15 days vs. 67.5 days, p < 0.001) and lower corticosteroid dose for 60 days after administration of rituximab (698.4 mg vs. 1087.4 mg of methylprednisolone, p < 0.001) compared to the rituximab monotherapy group. The results of this study suggest that combination therapy with rituximab and omalizumab can achieve disease control status faster than the rituximab monotherapy, reducing the total dose of corticosteroids.
Melanocyte‐specific CD49a+CD8+ T cells in vitiligo lesion potentiate to maintain activity during systemic steroid therapy
Authors: Yokoi Kazunori , Watanabe Rei , Kume Miki , Yamane Saki , Tanaka Atsushi , Fujimoto Manabu , Tanemura Atsushi 
Published: December 2022

AbstractVitiligo is a common depigmenting skin disease that is often difficult to treat. Even if repigmentation is achieved by treatment, recurrence in the same lesion is often found within a year after stopping treatment. As a background of these issues, a subset of CD8+ T cells that recognize melanocyte‐specific antigens or CD49a+ tissue‐resident memory T cells that reside in the vitiligo lesion are thought to be involved. We investigated the MHC class I‐restricted tyrosinase pentamer‐positive CD8+ skin T cells in a progressive generalized vitiligo patient with HLA‐A*02:01 who showed resistance to intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy. We found that HLA‐A*02:01‐restricted tyrosinase pentamer‐positive CD8+ T cells remained in the lesions after the treatment and expressed IFN‐γ and granzyme B. Interestingly, the expression of these cytokines in the pentamer‐negative CD8+ T cells was decreased after intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy. These findings suggest that, in vitiligo patients, melanocyte‐specific CD49a+CD8+ T cells are in a potent activation state that is uncontrolled despite systemic immunosuppressive treatment, which may contribute to treatment resistance and local recurrence.
