Energy Efficient Hierarchical Clustering Approaches in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
No full textWireless sensor networks (WSN) are one of the significant technologies due to their diverse applications such as health care monitoring, smart phones, military, disaster management, and other surveillance systems. Sensor nodes are usually deployed in large number that work independently in unattended harsh environments. Due to constraint resources, typically the scarce battery power, these wireless nodes are grouped into clusters for energy efficient communication. In clustering hierarchical schemes have achieved great interest for minimizing energy consumption. Hierarchical schemes are generally categorized as cluster-based and grid-based approaches. In cluster-based approaches, nodes are grouped into clusters, where a resourceful sensor node is nominated as a cluster head (CH) while in grid-based approach the network is divided into confined virtual grids usually performed by the base station. This paper highlights and discusses the design challenges for cluster-based schemes, the important cluster formation parameters, and classification of hierarchical clustering protocols. Moreover, existing cluster-based and grid-based techniques are evaluated by considering certain parameters to help users in selecting appropriate technique. Furthermore, a detailed summary of these protocols is presented with their advantages, disadvantages, and applicability in particular cases.</jats:p
Masstige Marketing: A scale development and validity study
No full textLuxury brands successfully use a masstige marketing strategy by offering consumers social status, prestige, and rarity at premium prices. Using Churchill's (1979) scale development framework, this study proposes MasCal to address the recent calls on conceptualization and measurement of masstige marketing as an advancement in the strategic brand management domain. The five-dimensional masstige marketing scale covers self-congruence, prestige, brand knowledge, brand loyalty, and willingness to pay the premium price. The generalizability and nomological validity of the scale was examined by conducting three different studies in the restaurant, airline, and automobile industry. We outline comprehensive theoretical and practical implications hereunder

Accomplishing sustainable performance through leaders' competencies, green entrepreneurial orientation, and innovation in an emerging economy: Moderating role of institutional support
No full textImplementing sustainable initiatives requires a competent leader who can sense the importance of entrepreneurial opportunities to outperform their competitors using interpersonal and sustainable skills. Considering this, current research seeks the underlying role of green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) and green innovation (GI) between leaders' competencies and sustainable performance in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of an emerging economy. This paper also examines institutional support as a moderator between GI and sustainable performance. The data from 329 SMEs using multi-respondent and time-lagged strategies were collected and analyzed using “structural equation modeling.” The results demonstrate
that leaders' competencies significantly predicted GEO and GI, while GI strongly influences economic performance. Additionally, the association between GI and sustainable performance is strengthened by institutional support. Theoretically, this study empirically tested that leaders' sustainable competencies can lead to GI and sustainable performance. For practitioners, this study proposes that institutional support
is an important factor that should be properly exploited for better social, environmental, and economic performance
