Practice Briefing The future of the UK turnover-based lease in the world of omni-channel retail
Authors: Harper Angus Lachlan Elliott 
Published: August 2022

PurposeHistorically supply and demand have set the rent level for shops. Turnover rents were brought over from America in the 1980s as a way for landlords to benefit from the tenant's success without having to wait for the next rent review. In addition, from a property management viewpoint, landlords soon realised the benefit of having access to the turnover information of each store as it meant landlords could easily see who and which category of goods was doing well and who was failing. However, in the 2010s, there has been a huge change in shopping habits with many retailers adopting a business model that incorporates online transactions into the use of the physical store with, for example, click and collect. As a result, some landlords are beginning to see turnover rents as redundant for retailers with strong e-commerce strategies as they are only able to capitalise on the sales that happen in the physical store. Other landlords see the turnover information as crucial for running their centres and are searching for new ways to include all relevant sales, online and in-store in the lease. This briefing discusses the issues and challenges brought about by this change in retail practices.Design/methodology/approachThis practice briefing is based on a series of interviews with the principal stakeholders in the retail market.FindingsThis briefing is a review of the UK retail market at the end of the 2010s and offers insights into the market going forward.Practical implicationsThis briefing looks at how the change in sales technique used by retailers to encourage online sales will affect the future of the turnover rent leasing model used in UK shopping centres and other retailing locations.Originality/valueLandlords are seeking to adopt leasing strategies where they have access to the turnover information without any loss of profit. This briefing identifies leasing models that will, with the agreement and partnership of the tenant allow agreements that include factors such as the halo effect, click and collect and multi-channel in-store purchases in the rent.

Published: August 2022

PurposeHealth authorities have introduced non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) with the aim of reducing the spread of viruses. Against the backdrop of social marketing, normative and utility theories, the purpose of the paper is to examine the relationships between user centric measures such as perceived effectiveness, user satisfaction, and value for effort on intentions to continue to use NPIs. Furthermore, the moderating role of value for effort on user satisfaction and, subsequently, intentions to continue to use NPIs was also considered.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional online survey was completed in British Columbia, Canada (N = 287). Analysis was done with partial least squares structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results show that the relationships between user centric measures are positive and significant on intentions to continue to use NPIs. Furthermore, value for effort moderated the relationship between user satisfaction and intentions to continue to use NPIs – but the relationship was negative. Thus, the higher values of the value for effort construct cause the relationship between user satisfaction and reuse intention to somewhat diminish.Originality/valueThe results confirm the positive and significant relationships between user centric measures in the context of the use of NPIs and introduce a new understanding of the effect of value for effort on the relationship between user satisfaction and intentions to use NPIs. This enables health officials to better understand how to encourage the use of NPIs.
What about leader engagement? A preliminary analysis of this forgotten variable
Authors: Hayden Colleen , Miura Yoko 
Published: August 2022

PurposeSince the early 2000s, employee engagement has become a growing point of interest for scholars, organizations, and consultants alike due to its association with a variety of organizational outcomes, such as job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover intent. Though there is much focus surrounding the measurement of employee engagement within the literature, there is a notable absence in research related to a leader's own level of engagement.Design/methodology/approachThis study aimed to address this gap in the literature, utilizing the Employee Engagement Scale (EES) to measure for leader engagement. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the data from 147 formal leaders who completed the EES measure.FindingsResults indicated that the model goodness-of-fit indices did not provide irrefutable evidence that leader engagement could be assessed with the 12-item EES. Using EFA results, the 12 items were rearranged and an additional run of CFA indicated better model fit with the modified EES, specifically focused on assessing leader-level engagement.Research limitations/implicationsThe small sample size (n = 147) limits the generalizability of the results. Additional studies using the revised EES structure indicated in this study is necessary to inform the validity and reliability in measuring for leader engagement with this modified tool.Practical implicationsThe paper includes implications for future researchers to pay attention to assessing leader-level engagement within the workplace and what organizational outcomes leader engagement may impact, specifically the financial impact of leader engagement.Originality/valueThis paper sought to address the gap in the literature surrounding measuring for leader engagement and its potential association with organizational outcomes.

Accordingly, this research refers to the impact that the individual's skills have on the entrepreneurial environment. For this purpose, a survey has been developed of employees of different organizations considering the variables of high degree of proactivity in the employees' attitude, entrepreneurial training, innovation, previous experience or risk aversion.Design/methodology/approachThe research has been conducted through fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and the result shows the differences between the combination of variables for business growth through the consideration of sales growth and profit.FindingsThe results of this research provide new insights that allow the development and boosting of business growth.Originality/valueThe main contribution of this work is to pay attention to the human team of startups and show the role that this has in their growth.
Rise from the ashes or repeat the past? The effects of fresh start mindset and brand crisis type on consumer forgiveness
Authors: Chen Siyun , Ran Yaxuan , Xiong Jiwei 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
Many managers and scholars focus on how to repair brand image after a corporate crisis. This research paper aims to propose that a fresh start mindset (FSM) and brand crisis type can jointly influence consumer forgiveness.

Design/methodology/approach
Three studies were conducted to examine the authors’ hypotheses. Study 1 is a 3 (FSM: high vs low vs control) × 2 (brand crisis: controllable vs uncontrollable) between-subjects factorial design to test the interaction effect of FSM and brand crisis type on consumer forgiveness. Study 2 is a 2 (FSM: high vs low) × 2 (brand crisis: controllable vs uncontrollable) between-subjects factorial design to identify the affective and cognitive mechanisms in the influence of FSM and brand crisis type on consumer forgiveness. Study 3 is a 2 (FSM: high vs low) × 2 (brand crisis: controllable vs uncontrollable) × 3 (strategy: defensive strategy vs accommodative strategy vs reticence) between-subjects factorial design, aimed to identify the possible boundary conditions of this effect and tested the moderating role of brand crisis response strategies.

Findings
Study 1 finds that the FSM interacts with brand crisis type to affect consumer forgiveness. Specifically, consumers faced with uncontrollable (vs controllable) brand crises tend to increase (vs decrease) consumer forgiveness after a corporate crisis. Study 2 identifies the underlying mechanism, such that two distinct mechanisms drive the interaction effect. Affective empathy and perceived responsibility mediate the interaction effect of FSM and brand crisis type on forgiveness. Study 3 replicates the findings of studies 1 and 2 and confirms the boundary condition of the effect, showing that crisis response strategy moderates the interaction between FSM and brand crisis type.

Originality/value
Theoretically, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research observes the interactive effect of FSM and brand crisis for the first time, thus extending the existing research on both FSM and brand crisis. This study also enriches existing empathy and responsibility literature by examining the mediating role of empathy and perceived responsibility. Practical implications for marketers are apparent, especially after a brand crisis occurs. Corporates can deal with different types of the brand crisis based on consumers’ FSM. Finally, future research with regards to the findings is discussed.
TMT experience and corporate social (ir)responsibility: the moderating effects of faultlines
Authors: Ma Jingchen , Huang Xu 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine how the experience of the top management team (TMT), such as industrial experience and functional experience heterogeneity, affect corporate social performance (CSP) and whether TMT faultlines act as a moderator.

Design/methodology/approach
To examine the effect of TMT experience on CSP, this study uses upper echelons theory as theoretical background, and data are selected from 212 Chinese high-polluting companies with A-shares from 2012 to 2016. The dependent variable is lagged by one year from 2013 to 2017.

Findings
Industrial experience both positively influenced CSR and negatively influenced corporate social irresponsibility. Functional experience heterogeneity had an inverted U-shaped effect on responsible behaviors and a U-shaped effect on irresponsible behaviors. Meanwhile, TMT faultlines played a moderating roles in the relationship between TMT experience and CSP, in which faultlines reinforces the non-linear relationship between functional experience heterogeneity and CSP.

Research limitations/implications
The existence of impact paths between TMT experience and corporate social performances must still be examined. Other moderators need to be verified.

Practical implications
The important ways to promote more corporate responsible behavior and reduce irresponsible corporate behavior is to choose the right team members. During team formation, it is important to have experience in related industries and select team members with different functional experiences. Companies can consider hiring executives who tend to work together and have relevant experience, which can reduce the time cost of unnecessary conflicts.

Originality/value
This study combined the upper echelons theory with some attention perspectives to study the impacts of TMT experience on CSP.

PurposeFunding infrastructural facilities of higher institutions, especially in some developing nations such as Nigeria, that is under-funded, is a challenge in the current era. Private organisations participation in infrastructure development via a proposed expanded corporate social responsibility (ECSR) may enhance infrastructural facilities provision. There is a paucity of literature regarding ECSR, a form of infrastructure tax relief providing infrastructural facilities for higher institutions. Therefore, the study investigated the role of private organisations via a proposed ECSR in the provision of infrastructure and proffer ways to enhance higher institutions' infrastructure development delivery in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThe study data were collated via face-to-face interviews and observation of existing buildings. From the six geo-political zones, two higher institutions each were selected for a good representation across Nigeria. Saturation was achieved with 26 participants interviewed. The emerged three main themes were analysed via thematic analysis.FindingsFindings show inadequate infrastructure development in Nigerian higher institutions. Lack of policy and institutional framework, lax governance, level of transparency, and corruption, emerged as the key issues that may hinder private organisations from participating in public higher institutions infrastructure development delivery in Nigeria via ECSR. Others are lack of autonomy, inadequate planning, high level of impunity, political affiliation, poor management, and access to funding. The study proffers some recommendations based on these findings.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is restricted to the role of private organisations via ECSR in infrastructure development (buildings) in Nigeria's public higher institutions. Future study is needed to validate the proposed ECSR framework in developing countries for the provision of buildings for higher institutions in their host communities.Practical implicationsThe paper will advance the philosophy of corporate social responsibility to the provision of building facilities in host communities' higher institutions by private companies through tax relief and supported by a proposed Presidential Executive Order.Originality/valueThe proposed ECSR framework can be used to improve building facilities in Nigeria's higher institutions. This may assist and stir up policymakers to explore the proposed model and back up with an established policy such as infrastructure tax relief (ITR) for implementation.

Authors: Zhao Wanting , Chen Lijun 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
Self-crosslinked long fluorocarbon acrylate polymer latex has good hydrophobic and oleophobicity, weather resistance, aging resistance, stability and other excellent properties, which make the polymer be widely used in coatings, dyes, adhesives and other products. The purpose of this study is to prepare self-crosslinked long fluorocarbon acrylate polymer latex via semi-continuous seeded emulsion technology and carry out comparative study on two different cross-linked monomers.

Design/methodology/approach
Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA) were used as the main monomers, dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) as the fluoromonomer, hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) and N-methylol acrylamide (NMA) as cross-linked monomers, and 1-allyloxy-3–(4-nonylphenol)-2-propanol polyoxyethylene (10) ether (ANPEO10) and 1-allyloxy-3–(4-nonylphenol)-2-propanol polyoxyethylene (10) ether ammonium sulfate (DNS-86) as compound emulsifiers via the semicontinuous-seeded emulsion polymerization.

Findings
The properties of the polymer emulsions, which are prepared with two different cross-linked monomers, are compared and discussed, and it is concluded that HPMA is more suitable for the preparation of self-crosslinked polymer emulsions. The formula of the polymer latex is ANPEO10: DNS-86 = 1:1, and the mass ratio of the monomers used in the polymer is MMA: BA: DFMA: HPMA = 14.40:14.40:0.60:0.60.

Practical implications
Self-crosslinked long fluorocarbon acrylate polymer latex can be used in many fields such as coatings, dyes, adhesives and other products.

Originality/value
The self-crosslinked long fluorocarbon acrylate polymer latex is prepared by mixing the nonionic emulsifier ANPEO10 and the anionic emulsifier DNS-86 when potassium persulfate is used as the thermal decomposition initiator and the semicontinuous-seeded emulsion technology is adopted and the comparative study on two different cross-linked monomer is carried out, which is not reported in the open literatures.
Lithofacies prediction driven by logging‐based Bayesian‐optimized ensemble learning: A case study of lacustrine carbonate reservoirs
Authors: Gu Yufeng , Zhang Shenghan , Wang Weidong , Pan Lili , Zhang Daoyong , Bao Zhidong 
Published: August 2022

AbstractAlthough lithofacies routinely is featured by distinct logging responses from each other, many types of lithofacies in practical cases show similar measuring characteristics on logs, and then to achieve a desirable solution from logging‐based lithofacies prediction actually is challengeable. Since the mathematical essence of lithofacies prediction can be explained as an issue of pattern recognition, a light gradient boosting machine, a state‐of‐the‐art ensemble learning, specifically developed to address supervised classification, could be a potential solver. Nonetheless, due to an incompatibility of inherent exclusive feature bundling algorithm for logs and usage of a great deal of hyper‐parameters, a raw light gradient boosting machine might not be suitable or functional to predict lithofacies. Thus, continuous restricted Boltzmann machine and Bayesian optimization, respectively, employed to process original logging data and optimize hyper‐parameters, are adopted as technical assistants for the light gradient boosting machine, and accordingly a new ensemble learning‐based predictor called continuous restricted Boltzmann machine – Bayesian optimization – the light gradient boosting machine, is proposed for lithofacies. To validate classifying capability and robust nature of new predictor, three experiments are designed purposefully based on the application of a dataset collected from the wells located within pre‐salt lacustrine carbonate reservoirs of the Santos Basin. Simultaneously, to highlight validating effect, other three sophisticated classifiers are introduced as competitors in all experiments, including supper vector machine, random forest and extreme gradient boosting. According to the analysis and comparison of all experimental results, overall four points are verified: (1) the integration of continuous restricted Boltzmann machine and Bayesian optimization indeed is beneficial for the light gradient boosting machine in data preprocess and modelling stage; (2) the light gradient boosting machine cored predictor shows more capability of producing reliable predicted lithofacies information compared to other three competitors; (3) training more learning samples is a simple and effective approach to enhance computing capability of any validated predictor, and under this circumstance the light gradient boosting machine cored predictor still performs relatively better; (4) the light gradient boosting machine cored predictor is characterized with a better robustness as its predicting outcomes, even derived from a sparse‐condition dataset, are also proved more qualified. Consequently, the new proposed predictor is demonstrated as a high‐efficient and robust solver for the prediction of lithofacies and deserves a widespread application in the geological, geophysical and petrophysical research.
A monogenean parasite reveals the widespread translocation of the African clawed frog in its native range

Published: August 2022

Abstract

The management of bio‐invasions relies upon the development of methods to trace their origin and expansion. Cointroduced parasites, especially monogenean flatworms, are ideal tags for the movement of their hosts due to their short generations, direct life cycles and host specificity. However, they are yet to be applied to trace the intraspecific movement of host lineages in their native ranges.

As proof of this concept, we conducted a comparative phylogeographic analysis based upon two mitochondrial markers of a globally invasive frog Xenopus laevis and its monogenean parasite Protopolystoma xenopodis in its native range in southern Africa and invasive range in Europe.

Translocation of lineages was largely masked in the frog's phylogeography. However, incongruent links between host and parasite phylogeography indicated host switches from one host lineage to another after these were brought into contact in the native range. Thus, past translocation of host lineages is revealed by the invasion success of its cointroduced parasite lineage.

This study demonstrates that parasite data can serve as an independent line of evidence in invasion biology, also on the intraspecific level, shedding light on previously undetected invasion dynamics. Based upon the distribution of these invasive parasite lineages, we infer that there is widespread anthropogenic translocation of this frog, not only via official export routes, but also facilitated by the frog's use as live bait by angling communities.

Synthesis and applications. Data from cointroduced, host‐specific parasites, as tags for translocation, can add value to investigations in invasion biology and conservation. A better understanding of the translocation history and resulting genetic mixing of host and parasite lineages in the native range can shed light on the genetic make‐up of parasite assemblages cointroduced to the invasive range. Knowledge of the intraspecific movement of different lineages of animals in their native ranges also has conservation implications, since contact between divergent lineages of hosts and parasites can facilitate host switches and altered parasite dynamics in both native and invasive populations. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion of parasite data as a more holistic approach to the invasion ecology of animals on the intraspecific level.
When a compromise gets compromised by another compromise
Authors: Libich Jan , Nguyen Dat Thanh 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn many situations it is difficult to avoid a conflict and cooperate with others, even when all parties would like to do so. We show that while having one coordination device tends to be beneficial, having more of them may actually make things worse. Our game theoretic analysis examines the relationship between two widely used coordination devices, namely the focal point and leadership. However, instead of conventional Stackelberg leadership we use a more general Stochastic leadership framework that allows for probabilistic revisions of the players' decisions. Upon observing the initial simultaneous actions, each player can (simultaneously) change her action with some probability , known to all players in advance. In this framework, the more rigid player with lower assumes the role of a Stochastic leader, and the more flexible player becomes the Stochastic follower. We demonstrate how focal point and leadership may clash in coordination and anti‐coordination games such as the Battle of the sexes, Hawk and dove and Stag hunt. Because the focal point is based on symmetry whereas leadership on asymmetry, having these two coordination devices jointly makes Pareto‐inferior outcomes more likely. Two distinct effects are behind this phenomenon, we call them multiplicity‐broadening and multiplicity‐deepening. Our theoretic findings are then linked to many instances from business, sport as well as politics. We also discuss the implications for the design of welfare‐improving managerial processes and public policies that might help to avoid costly mis‐coordination.
