Sustainable Stakeholder Experience: introducing a framework using the dairy industry as a case example
No full textObjectives: New values are emerging within corporate identities dynamics. New meanings are revealing latest tendencies in strategies and business models, and this phenomenon shows multiple dimensions and new trends in what companies want as part of their identity, such as sustainability, network collaboration and experiential marketing. This paper attempts to contribute by offering a conceptual framework that pulls all of these concepts together, reporting a theoretical discussion that is part of a larger inductive project. Methodology: This conceptual contribution is presenting initial findings of a literature review based on a scoping study method, driven by the main research question: “What is known in the existing literature about sustainable business models, sustainable network collaboration, and sustainable experiential marketing?” Literature review: This literature review narrative is an explorative exercise useful to highlight several literature gaps on combinations of different concepts, such as sustainability, corporate identity, collaborative business models, customer experience and experiential marketing. Results: From a theoretical perspective, results report that the literature is still stuck in silos and shows little attention to the combination of these concepts. Moreover, the introduction of a new framework on Sustainable Stakeholder Experience enables the combination of emerging concepts, such as sustainable ecosystems, stakeholder experience, sustainable experiential marketing. Limitations: Due to the nature of this conceptual paper’s narrative, being this study part of a bigger research design, we recognize that the main limitation of this conference presentation is the absence of data demonstrating all the results found in previous research phases. However, data discussion is not the purpose of this contribution. Originality: This short contribution aims to stimulate the discussion with a multidisciplinary approach to corporate identity analysis and related corporate strategies. Literature gaps highlighted in this scoping study could stimulate in advancing theories on Collaborative Sustainable Busi ness Models, Sustainable Ecosystems, Sustainable Experiential Marketing, and to call for further research on Sustainable Stakeholder Experience
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Digital corporate identity congruence analises: highlighting critical issues and untapped opportunities. A focus on Italian SMEs of the dairy industry
No full textFirms often signal their identities through their digital footprints. The context chosen for this research is the Italian dairy industry, which is fragmented with many product-oriented smaller farms. Corporate identity congruence (CIC) refers to the fit between several corporate identity meanings. These meanings are signaled to stakeholders by multiple vehicles, some of which are digital in nature. Digital signal analyses could reveal misalignment between offline and online communication. The research design involves multiple studies: phenomenological interviews on 7 case studies, using NVIVO to analyze transcripts and other documents; nutritional and chemometric analysis on dairy products; corporate identity congruence meaning based analysis, with a particular focus on digital communication. Misalignments discovered between what companies do, who they are, and what they say (offline and online) are discussed as critical issues. This digital CIC analysis strives to highlight new opportunities for companies that want to evolve their digital corporate identit
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
