Servitisation is a strategic transition of firms towards the creation of additional value through services. In this study, we adopt a data-driven approach and assume that company activity descriptions are representative of their activity and partly reflect the adopted strategy. We hypothesise that if there is a trend of traditional publishing firms adopting servitisation strategies, this should emerge from textual analysis of company descriptors. Relying on data-driven analysis of publicly available company information for UK and Ireland, we find no significant evidence of strategic diversity as a single group emerges from diverse clustering methods. Our results show either that the publicly available dataset is not representative of firm strategy in the publishing industry or that there is no real evidence of servitisation in the publishing sector. Implications for theory and for industry are discussed.

This paper seeks to address the issue of potential risks for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturers arising from an excessive focus on key accounts. In a context of increasing customer concentration, there is a need for a deeper understanding of the key account management phenomenon's consequences. Our conceptual model, which uses structural equations modelling (SEM) measures and confirms that the focus of FMCG manufacturers on KAM effectiveness also implies future risks for them due to an imbalance in the customer portfolio.

This paper presents a systematic review of research on service redesign strategies (SRS) to manage capacity and demand in services supply chains (SSCs). 178 papers were analysed after four level of filtering of 6,398 records of citation and reading of 700 papers. The review context includes status and progress of research across both goods and services; cross-geographies; all elements various research methods. Research efforts highlight increased use of SRS in SSCs, with focus on few methods - use of lean, agile, automation, and matching SC to customer demand, and need for research focus on additional themes. Research gaps are highlighted in Asia, Australia/NZ, Africa and UK regions, in evolving network-based SC structures. There is need to integrate research from services marketing, manufacturing SCM, industrial engineering, and operations management to borrow approaches for SRS in SSCs. This study proposes a value delivery framework to mitigate supply chain risks (SCRs) and improve company performance.

This paper examines the value relevance of quantitative and qualitative environmental disclosure of 145 polluting companies' in India. Environmental disclosure is measured by a checklist of items based on Global Reporting Initiative guidelines as well as environmental regulations prevailing in India. Subsequently, the disclosure scores are drawn individually by using content analysis of annual reports for a period of nine years, i.e., from 2009-2010 to 2017-2018. Employing static and dynamic panel data regression method, the study finds both quantitative as well as qualitative environmental disclosure plays an important role in enhancing the market value and allows the firm to differentiate it from others. Further, the study finds investment in research and development (R&D) has a positive impact on the financial performance of a company. However, the study finds a negative association between the interaction effect of R&D expenditure with environmental disclosure and the financial performance of a firm.

Strategic leadership promote organisational strategic flexibility and enhance business sustainability. Drawing on the theoretical lens of dynamic capability and contingency theory, a framework of hypotheses is established that focuses on strategic flexibility, strategic leadership and its implications on business sustainability. This research used surveys collected from microfinance banks operating in Nigeria. The results show that strategic flexibility and strategic leadership have a significant influence on business sustainability. Also, strategic flexibility and strategic leadership significantly affect business sustainability indicators of economic, social, environmental and innovation performance. Finally, we found that strategic leadership moderate the effect of strategic flexibility on business sustainability and its indicators. Our findings clarify the role that organisational capabilities (strategic flexibility and strategic leadership) play in enhancing business sustainability, particularly in the emerging market context.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the theoretical and practical implications of the use of the value chain in tourism intermediation, examining its current configuration, with particular emphasis on the emergence of new net-based agents. Inspired by the conceptual discussion on service logic, service-dominant logic, and consumer dominant logic, we focus on the trip cycle to map the value chain of tourism intermediation. The paper is exploratory. It presents and discusses a conceptual model and suggests the implications for research and practice. We hope that it will offer a better understanding of the current situation of tourism intermediation through its value chain based on customer dominance. It stresses the importance of understanding customer logic and emphasises the presence of providers in the customer ecosystem.

This paper explores paradox, a way of seeing organisations that emphasises interdependence, opposition and persistence, as both a source of novelty and absurdity. Paradoxes are processes with a dual potential for organisational harm or good, depending on the way they are framed and tackled. We explore this dual side of paradox and discuss some of its implications for the management of organisations.

This study investigates the phenomenon of the tendency to procrastinate with its three triggers: time management, perfectionism, and fear of failure as well as its organisational outcomes which are higher job stress and lower job satisfaction. Parametric tests and path analysis were performed to analyse the relationship between the variables in the model. The results revealed that poor time management (time wasting and deficient time efficiency), discrepancy and fear of failure are causes of procrastination in organisations and the employees, who procrastinate, report a higher job stress and a lower job satisfaction.

The study analysed the effect of perceived value, risk, attitude and environmental consciousness on the purchase intention of university students for remanufactured computers. This is a cross-sectional quantitative study. Data were collected by questionnaire; 241 students from different institutions of higher education participated. The main analysis techniques used were Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression modelling. The results showed that there is a strong association between the constructs purchase intention and consumer attitude and a moderate association with perceived value. The results of the regression analysis indicate that the constructs consumer attitude, perceived value and risk predict 66.2% of the intention to purchase remanufactured computers. The study contribute to the literature by analysing several constructs related to the purchase intention of consumers of remanufactured computers and giving a social direction to the study of remanufacturing
