The effect of power use on specific investments: the moderating role of interdependence structure
Authors: Tian Min , Huo Baofeng , Tian Yu 
Published: January 2022

PurposePower use widely exists in buyer–supplier relationships (BSRs). Different directions of power use (i.e. buyer's power use and supplier's power use) intertwining with different types of power (i.e. coercive and noncoercive power) make it insufficient to regard power use as a single construct when examining its effect on a firm's following response. Besides, interdependence structure characterized by joint dependence and dependence asymmetry may influence the effect of a specific power use by shaping the firm's interpretation and cognition toward the relationship. Specifically, this study examines how four types of power use a buyer facing and an interdependence structure with its supplier affect its specific investments to the supplier.Design/methodology/approachThis study tests the proposed relationships using regression analysis, based on data from 240 manufacturing firms in China on their perceived relationships with their major suppliers.FindingsResults show that buyer's coercive power use (BCP) negatively affects buyer's specific investments while noncoercive power use (BNP) does not play a significant role. Both supplier's coercive power use (SCP) and noncoercive power use (SNP) are positively related to buyer's specific investments. Joint dependence positively moderates the effect of BNP and dependence asymmetry negatively moderates the effects of BCP and SNP on buyer's specific investments.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on power use by identifying different types of power use and their different roles in influencing buyer's specific investments. The study also contributes to the literature on interdependence structure by demonstrating the different roles of joint dependence and dependence asymmetry.
The myth of the universal millennial: comparing millennials’ perceptions of luxury across six countries
Authors: Kapferer Jean-Noël , Valette-Florence Pierre 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to challenge the popular belief among luxury practitioners and researchers that millennials are a homogeneous and disruptive generation of consumers which is redefining luxury according to its terms.Design/methodology/approachThis study first presents comparisons of luxury perception among 1,450 actual luxury consumers between the ages of 18 and 34 years in six main luxury markets, eastern and western, mature and emerging (United States, China, Japan, Germany, France and Brazil). Within each country, millennials' perception of luxury is then compared to the perception held by previous generations (Gen X, baby boomers and seniors).FindingsThe results clearly demonstrate that millennials' definition of luxury is not internationally homogeneous; millennials do not hold a global vision that transcends frontiers. Furthermore, comparisons of luxury perceptions among nonmillennials from the same countries reveal that millennials match their national culture more than a cohesive age culture.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has two main limitations linked to the limited number of surveyed countries, along with a limited sample size of millennials per country. Nonetheless, the results give additional support to the glocalization hypothesis. Yet, as millennials represent 44% of personal luxury goods purchases, they catch attention from both luxury sellers and researchers. Evidence indicates the notion of a “millennial luxury consumer” could be still an empty label.Practical implicationsThe extensive use of the “millennial” label across countries implies generational homogeneity across borders, whereas reality is more diverse. Also despite the fact that luxury brands are highly globalized, the perception of what defines luxury – the hierarchy of its most salient attributes – does vary per country, thus needs specific attention.Originality/valueThe current findings reveal that millennials from the six surveyed countries do not share the same perceptions of luxury traits. Moreover, millennials' definition of luxury mirrors the definition held by nonmillennials from their own country, suggesting a strong cultural influence in each country.
Online service failure: how consumers from emerging countries react and complain
Authors: Rohden Simoni F. , Matos Celso Augusto de 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
E-commerce has experienced huge growth in emerging countries, but analysis of service failure/recovery for online retailers has been limited in this context. Hence, this study aims to investigate customers’ reactions to service failures in e-commerce and the influence of cultural dimensions on complaint intentions.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey was conducted with 553 customers from Brazil, India and China. A model was proposed and tested using structural equation modeling.

Findings
Results indicate that satisfaction with service recovery (SSR) increases repurchase intentions and reduces third-party complaints and negative word-of-mouth. This study also shows that the reactions of consumers to service failures in online situations are influenced by their cultural orientation (i.e. individualism, uncertainty avoidance and power distance) and contingent factors (i.e. relationship level, switching costs and the severity of the failure).

Originality/value
This study shows that the extent to which consumers from emerging countries complain after a service failure in online purchases will depend on their cultural orientation, previous experiences with the retailer, switching costs and the severity of the failure.
Unfolding visual characteristics of social media communication: reflections of smart tourism destinations
Authors: Adamış Emel , Pınarbaşı Fatih 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis study aims to explore the visual social media (SM) (Instagram) communication and the visual characteristics of smart tourism destination (STD) communication from destination marketing/management organizations (DMOs) and user-generated content (UGC) perspectives, which refer to projected image and perceived image, respectively.Design/methodology/approachThree DMO official accounts of STDs (Helsinki, Gothenburg and Lyon) and corresponding official hashtags were selected for the sample and total 6,000 post data (1,000 × 6) were retrieved from Instagram. Visual communication content was examined with a netnographic design over a proposed four-level visual content framework using corresponding methodological approaches (thematic analysis, visual analysis, object detection and text mining) for each level.FindingsAmong the eight emerging themes dominating the images, communication of smart elements conveys far less than expected textual and visual signals from DMOs despite their smart status, and in turn, from UGC as well. UGC revealed three extra image themes regardless of smartness perception. DMOs tend to project and give voice to their standard metropolitan areas and neighborhoods while UGCs focus on food-related and emotional elements. The findings show a partial overlap between DMOs and UGCs, revealing discrepancies in objects contained in visuals, hashtags and emojis. Additionally, as a rare attempt, the proposed framework for visual content analysis showed the importance of integrated methods to investigate visual content effectively.Research limitations/implicationsThe number of attributes in visual analysis and focusing on the observed elements in text content (text, hashtags and emojis) are the limitations of the study in terms of methodology.Originality/valueApart from the multiple integrated methods used over a netnographic design, this study differs from existing SM and smart destinations intersection literature by attempting to fill a gap in focusing on and exploring visual SM communication, which is scarce in tourism context, for the contents generated by DMOs and users.
Mastering new technologies: does it relate to teleworkers’ (in)voluntariness and well-being?
Authors: Dias Paulo , Lopes Sílvia , Peixoto Ricardo 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine the associations among mastering new technologies, teleworkers’ voluntariness and involuntariness and employee well-being (i.e. work engagement and exhaustion). To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no studies have explored the relationships among these constructs in the same conceptual model.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from a sample of 451 individuals performing telework in Portugal. AMOS was used to test all hypotheses of the study.

Findings
The findings showed a positive relationship between mastering new technologies and teleworkers’ voluntariness and a negative relationship between mastering new technologies and teleworkers’ involuntariness. However, contrary to expectations, voluntariness in teleworking was not significantly related to either work engagement or exhaustion. However, consistent with the theoretical background of self-determination theory, involuntariness in teleworking was negatively related to work engagement and positively related to exhaustion.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature by addressing the analysis of telework-related variables that may impact workers’ well-being. Implications for human resource management policies and knowledge management are discussed.
Motivation in organisational online knowledge sharing
Authors: Nguyen Tuyet-Mai , Ngo Liem Viet , Gregory Gary 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the influence of intrinsic motives (self-efficacy, reputation and reciprocity) on online knowledge sharing behaviour. Additionally, this research investigates the moderating role of individual innovation capability and top management support.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology adopted was a questionnaire survey of employees working in Vietnamese telecommunications companies. A total of 501 employees completed a self-administered anonymous survey using a cross-sectional design. Confirmatory factor analysis and ordinary least squared – based hierarchical regression was used to test the conceptual framework.FindingsSelf-efficacy, reputation and reciprocity significantly impact online knowledge sharing behaviour. Specifically, self-efficacy has an inverted U-shape association while reputation and reciprocity have a positively, returns-to-scale association with online knowledge sharing behaviour. Individual innovation capability moderates the effect on these associations as does top management support, but to a lesser extent.Research limitations/implicationsData were obtained at a single point in time and self-reported. Furthermore, this study was conducted in a specific industry in Vietnam, i.e. telecommunications, which limits the generalisability of the research.Practical implicationsOrganisations need to create a favourable environment for online knowledge sharing to foster reciprocal relationships and interpersonal interactions of employees. Encouraging and rewarding employees to actively engage in knowledge exchange will help facilitate reciprocal online knowledge sharing behaviour.Originality/valueThis study contributes to knowledge-sharing behaviour by uncovering an inverted U-shape association and positively, returns-to-scale associations between intrinsic antecedents and online knowledge sharing behaviour. Additionally, individual innovation capability was an important moderator which has been overlooked in past research.

Published: January 2022

PurposeThe European Commission has published a general framework of entrepreneurship competence (EC), EntreComp, to create a shared definition and support its development. This study proposes and tests a scale to measure EC based on the EntreComp framework and examines its relation to start-up behaviour using data from seven European countries.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered from seven European countries and consist of 1,128 answers from both secondary and higher education level students. The authors use explorative factor analysis (EFA), analysis of variance and logistic regression analysis as data analysis methods.FindingsThe results show that EC is related to start-up behaviour and sensitive to role models and prior experience of entrepreneurship but is not sensitive to gender or level of education. The results also show that although the framework proposes three distinct areas, EC is unidimensional.Originality/valueThe study tests the EntreComp framework and introduces a scale for measuring EC based on the framework. The results show that EC can be addressed as unidimensional construct and that it explains start-up behaviour and develops through enterprising activities. The study also shows the impact of role models on EC. No difference in EC between genders is observed, suggesting the gender differences in entrepreneurship arise from factors other than competence.
Linking CIO–CMO Communication and Product Innovation via Virtual Customer Environment Engagement: A Moderated Mediation Study
Authors: Wang Li , Tong Chunyang , Yang Zhiyong 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIntuitively, we would expect that CIO–CMO communication plays a minimal role in product innovation performance, because product innovation is primarily driven by firms’ market orientation, knowledge of customer needs and cross‐functional integration among marketing, R&D and operations management. In a sharp contrast to this perspective, we propose that CIO–CMO communication increases product innovation performance through enhancing virtual customer environment (VCE) engagement. Such proposed effects are supported by two studies with different samples (i.e. MBA alumni in Study 1 and a representative sample in Study 2) and different performance measures (i.e. subjective ratings in Study 1 and objective sales data in Study 2). Furthermore, the effect of CIO–CMO communication on product innovation performance via VCE engagement is contingent upon two situational factors, namely marketing–IT integration policy and market uncertainty. The effect of CIO–CMO communication on product innovation performance via VCE engagement is positive and significant when marketing–IT integration policy is strong or when market uncertainty is high, but not when marketing–IT integration policy is weak or when market uncertainty is low. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications of these findings are discussed, especially on how managers can capitalize on CIO–CMO communication and VCE engagement to enhance the success of new product innovation.

Published: January 2022

AbstractIntroductionIntracorporeal esophagojejunostomy is a technically demanding procedure, with many challenges. This study presents the anastomotic and technical complications associated with the mis‐insertion of a linear stapler into the esophageal submucosal layer and the recovery procedure for this complication.Materials and Surgical techniquesOf 100 intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy cases from 2017 to 2020, this complication occurred in three cases—one during functional end‐to‐end anastomosis and two during the overlap method. To recover, the residual esophageal mucosa was incised from the entry point to the top of the incomplete staple line, which was then reinforced by suturing in full thickness, including the incised mucosa. After reinforcement, the common stab incision was closed by the linear stapler or handsewn. As a result, none of the patients developed anastomotic leakage or stenosis.DiscussionMucosal dissection and suturing for recovery for the anastomotic site may be an option to address cases of mis‐insertion of a linear stapler into the submucosal layer.

AbstractmtbDHFR‐targeting inhibition has become a promising approach for tuberculosis treatment. In the current research, a multi‐step virtual screening effort toward ZINC and MCE databases was devoted to discover novel mtbDHFR inhibitors. Based on binding affinity of small molecules through molecular docking study in AutoDock Vina, the number of compounds was reduced to 952,688. Further, these compounds were employed by a step‐by‐step multiple docking programs of Schrödinger suite and filtered by pharmacokinetics and PAINS parameters. Finally, nine ZINC compounds and 400 MCE compounds were obtained. These compounds of binding ability were tested with mtbDHFR by FluoPol‐ABPP approach established in this work. Finally, AF‐353 compound was found to have strong binding effect to mtbDHFR. AF‐353 was further tested for mtb and hDHFR enzymatic activities, and it was proved to possess 50‐fold selectivity toward mtbDHFR over hDHFR. In silico MD simulation results supported this selectivity.

Published: January 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the factors influencing enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) characteristics at the onset of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and whether the PVS characteristics can predict later post‐stroke epilepsy (PSE).MethodsA total of 312 patients with AIS were identified, of whom 58/312 (18.6%) developed PSE. Twenty healthy participants were included as the control group. The number of PVS in the basal ganglia (BG), centrum semiovale (CS), and midbrain (MB) was manually calculated on T2‐weighted MRI. The scores and asymmetry index (AI) of EPVS in each region were compared among the enrolled participants. Other potential risk factors for PSE were also analyzed, including NIHSS at admission and stroke etiologies.ResultsThe EPVS scores were significantly higher in the bilateral BG and CS of AIS patients compared to those of the control group (both p < 0.01). No statistical differences in EPVS scores in BG, CS, and MB were obtained between the PSE group and the nonepilepsy AIS group (all p > 0.01). However, markedly different AI scores in CS were found between the PSE group and the nonepilepsy AIS group (p = 0.004). Multivariable analysis showed that high asymmetry index of EPVS (AI≥0.2) in CS was an independent predictor for PSE (OR = 3.7, 95% confidence interval 1.5–9.1, p = 0.004).ConclusionsAsymmetric distribution of EPVS in CS may be an independent risk factor and a novel imaging biomarker for the development of PSE. Further studies to understand the mechanisms of this association and confirmation with larger patient populations are warranted.
Electron paramagnetic resonance and spin trapping to detect free radicals from allergenic hydroperoxides in contact with the skin: From the molecule to the tissue

Published: January 2022

AbstractA major research topic consists of revealing the contribution of radical‐mediated reactions in dermatological diseases related to xenobiotic‐induced stress to succeed risk‐assessment procedures protecting producers and consumers. Allergic contact dermatitis is the clinically relevant consequence of skin sensitization, one of the most critical occupational and environmental health issues related to xenobiotics exposure. The first key event identified for the skin sensitization process to a chemical is its aptitude to react with epidermal proteins and form antigenic structures that will further trigger the immune response. Many chemical sensitizers are suspected to react through mechanisms involving radical intermediates. This review focuses on the recent progress we have accomplished over the last few years studying radical intermediates derived from skin‐sensitizing chemicals by electron paramagnetic resonance in combination with the spin‐trapping technique. Our work is carried out “from the molecule”, performing studies in solution, “to the tissue”, by the development of a methodology on a reconstructed human epidermis model, very close in terms of histology and metabolic/enzymatic activity to real human epidermis, that can be used as suitable biological tissue model. The benefits are to test chemicals under conditions close to human use and real‐life sensitization exposures and benefit from the three‐dimensional (3D) microenvironment.
Language development as a mechanism linking socioeconomic status to executive functioning development in preschool

Published: January 2022

AbstractChildhood socioeconomic status (SES) is related to disparities in the development of both language and executive functioning (EF) skills. Emerging evidence suggests that language development may precede and provide necessary scaffolding for EF development in early childhood. The present preregistered study investigates how these skills co‐develop longitudinally in early childhood and whether language development explains the relationship between SES and EF development. A socioeconomically diverse sample of 305 children completed repeated assessments of language (sentence comprehension) and EF (cognitive flexibility, behavioral inhibition, and cognitive inhibition) at four waves spaced 9 months apart from ages 3 to 5 years. Bivariate latent curve models with structured residuals were estimated to disaggregate between‐person and within‐person components of stability and change. Results revealed bidirectional relationships between language and EF across all waves. However, at 3 years, language comprehension more strongly predicted EF than the reverse; yet by 5 years, the bidirectional effects across domains did not significantly differ. Children from higher‐SES backgrounds exhibited higher initial language and EF skills than children from lower‐SES families, though SES was not associated with either rate of growth. Finally, early language‐mediated the association between SES and early EF skills, and this model outperformed a reverse direction mediation. Together, results suggest that EF development is driven by early language development, and that SES disparities in EF are explained, at least in part, by early differences in language comprehension. These findings have implications for early interventions to support children's language skills as a potential pathway to improving early EF development.
