Overcoming recognition delays in disruptive research: The impact of team size, familiarity, and reputation

The relationship between disruption and delayed recognition is a critical research topic, yet the connection between the degree of disruption and delayed acknowledgment remains unclear. This study investigates the extent of recognition delay for disruptive papers using the SciSciNet dataset. We conducted a quantitative analysis based on this extensive dataset to examine the relationship between the Disruption Index and the Sleeping Beauty Index, revealing that highly disruptive papers often face a latency period before gaining acknowledgment, with significant variations across disciplines and over time. Our analysis of team dynamics indicates that larger teams, the presence of high-impact authors, fixed teams, and hierarchically structured teams can significantly reduce this delay. These findings provide insights into optimizing team strategies and understanding the complexities of academic recognition. They offer valuable implications for researchers and policymakers aiming to foster and accelerate the acknowledgment of groundbreaking scientific contributions.

Managing Negative WOM on Social Media: Impact of Accommodative Versus Defensive Strategies, Reputation, and Communication Style on Consumer Responses

abstract: This study examined optimal strategies for companies managing negative social media comments, viewing these situations as public relations opportunities to build relationships and reduce negative word of mouth. Utilizing SCCT and attribution theory and public relations literature on two-way communication and relationship building, a 2×2×2 full factorial experiment was conducted with consumer samples. Results show that effective management of negative comments on social media can build stakeholder relationships and yield positive outcomes. However, the effectiveness of the response strategy depends on the company’s existing reputation. For companies with a positive reputation, a defensive strategy is more effective in reducing perceived responsibility, whereas, for those with a poor reputation, response strategy choice has minimal impact. Two-way communication enhances external attribution, which is especially beneficial for disreputable companies using a defensive strategy. External attribution positively influences trust and satisfaction, ultimately affecting corporate outcomes.

Banking with purpose: the impact of CSR-S on customer behavior during the COVID-19

PurposeThis article examines the impact of banks’ corporate social responsibility communication through social media (CSR-S), electronic word of mouth (eWOM), and brand reputation on consumer behavior during the COVID-19 crisis, with a focus on purchase intention.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative approach to analyze data from a survey of 621 Egyptian bank customers who followed the banks’ social media pages and interacted with CSR-S initiatives. A genetic algorithm selected the most relevant variables affecting purchase intention. A Bayesian regression model was used to analyze the impact of CSR-S communication, eWOM, and brand reputation on purchase intention.FindingsCSR-S initiatives, eWOM, and brand reputation were found to influence customer purchase intention. CSR-S initiatives can boost purchase intention by encouraging brand reputation and initiative sharing with friends and other customers. However, CSR-S negatively moderates the positive impact of eWOM and brand reputation on the predisposition to contract products and services with the bank.Originality/valueThis study addresses critical research gaps in CSR literature. Firstly, it examines the impact of CSR-S actions on customer behavior, a perspective less explored in previous research. Secondly, it investigates the intricate relationships between CSR-S, eWOM, brand reputation, and purchase intention, shedding light on their interplay, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this research extends CSR-S investigations to the competitive banking industry and focuses on a developing country context, enhancing the applicability of findings for Egyptian banks. Lastly, the study employs advanced methodologies to improve the accuracy of results.

Academic survival: student retention in sport and exercise sciences

ABSTRACT Retention of higher education students is of major concern within the United Kingdom due to the financial and reputational impact on institutions, financial and personal impact on students and loss of potential skills and knowledge within society. Student background characteristics are acknowledged as the initial factors influencing retention within various models, however subject specific understanding is limited. This study aimed to identify pre-enrolment factors associated with student retention in Sport, Health and Exercise Science programmes. Student retention at department and programme level were calculated by ‘time to event’ analysis using Kaplan–Meier survival trend curves and log rank (Mantel–Cox) analysis for; gender, age, locality to the university, highest qualification on entry and participation of local areas in higher education (POLAR4) classifications. Results identified that male students, students from low Higher Education participation neighbourhoods and students who enter Higher Education without A-Level or foundation qualifications were at an increased risk of degree non-completion. Importantly, these characteristics were also disproportionally high in the student populations considered here. It is imperative that initiatives to improve retention, particularly in these populations, are sought and implemented at department level to improve student and institutional outcomes.

The Influence of Reputation, Information Quality, and Product Quality on Repurchase Intention on the Oriflame Platform Mediated by Satisfaction

This study aims to analyze the impact of reputation, information quality, and product quality on repurchase intention on the Oriflame platform, mediated by satisfaction. The research employed a questionnaire as the measurement tool, targeting consumers aged 15-60 who have used Oriflame products and also act as retailers. The study included 181 respondents, utilizing Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as the analytical tool for this explanatory research. The findings, at a significance level of 0.05, reveal positive and significant effects of reputation, information quality, and product quality on satisfaction. Additionally, satisfaction demonstrates a positive and significant influence on repurchase intention. However, reputation's impact on repurchase intention is not positive and significant, similar to information quality and product quality. The mediating role of satisfaction is observed in the relationships between reputation, information quality, product quality, and repurchase intention.

The Astroworld tragedy as an argument for proactive crisis management

PurposeThe Astroworld concert tragedy is used as an example of crisis (mis)management and the potential utility of the 4R model. Although the 4R model has been implemented in high-risk emergency management situations, it is useful in the PR field because of its actionable approach, creating a way for practitioners to prepare for and manage crisis situations.Design/methodology/approachThis is an analysis of the crisis that occurred at Astroworld, spanning preparation, day-of events, casualties and enduring reputational impact. The paper applies the 4R method to the Astroworld tragedy to show how it could have lessened or even prevented the tragedy. Finally, the SCCT model is used to explain why the official post-crisis statements were ineffective.FindingsSocial media has heightened the importance of a quick and effective organizational response to risk and crisis situations because poor responses can go viral quickly. However, social media also provides intelligence and crowd sourced information that can inform PR practitioners of emerging crisis scenarios. It is also an underutilized tool for two-way communication during crises.Practical implicationsThe 4R approach is beneficial to general practitioners as it simplifies crisis best-practices, something essential for quick action. As our world changes and becomes less predictable, practitioners must have a clear plan to protect their organizations and the public surrounding them. This approach includes reduction, readiness, response and recovery, which are all essential in crisis communication.Originality/valueThe 4R method has not been explored or applied in the PR field. This paper highlights how the model has been utilized in the emergency management field and illustrates the way 4R can serve the PR field.

The effect of city reputation on Chinese corporate risk-taking

City reputation is a valuable asset for the local economy and firms in the contemporary society. However, the impact of city reputation on micro-level firms has been largely overlooked by the literature. This paper uses the National Civilized City (NCC) policy in China as a quasi-natural experiment to enhance city reputation. We employ the DID approach to investigate the relationship between city reputation and corporate risk-taking. The result shows that corporate risk-taking significantly increases following the NCC policy adoption. Moreover, information asymmetry can strengthen the positive impact of city reputation on corporate risk-taking. Channel tests show that city reputation improves financial condition and decreases default risk, leading to improved risk-taking tolerance. Overall, our paper indicates that city reputation is an important mechanism to improve corporate financial performance, providing empirical evidence for local governments to pursue the NCC title.

Being famous matters: Evidence from cash flow volatility

Corporate reputation is a paramount driver of value creation and competitive advantage in the 21st century. Motivated by the importance of cash flows and the under-researched nature of their volatility in the corporate finance literature, we investigate the impact of corporate reputation on cash flow volatility. We developed unique hand-collected data from the Fortune world's most admired companies for a sample of U.S. companies from 2014 through 2020. The findings show that there is a negative relationship between corporate reputation and cash flow volatility. Our additional analyses demonstrate that the negative relationship between corporation reputation and cash flow volatility is stronger for firms with a higher company beta, higher earnings, and lower short-term liquidity. Our findings imply that improving corporate reputation can decrease the risk levels associated with operating performance.

Value co-creation in group enterprises: an evolutionary game theory-based analysis

Information barriers exist between subsidiaries in a group enterprise, where each subsidiary acts independently, and hinder rational allocation and utilisation of resources. This study proposed a value co-creation model consisting of heterogeneous subsidiaries in a group enterprise and consumers. By constructing a three-party evolutionary game model, we discussed the impact of information leakage risk, punishment intensity, consumer experience, and reputation on the strategy evolution process, which means the proportion of strategy choices for the three entities over time. We analysed and verified the evolutionary process of the value co-creation system in different scenarios. This study revealed the ‘butterfly effect’ of value co-creation within the group enterprise, highlighting how different combinations of decision-making probabilities among the three entities in the initial stage can result in diverse outcomes, even when starting from identical conditions. The study also found that under certain conditions, group subsidiaries may sacrifice their own interests for the overall interests of cooperation. This study yielded the counterintuitive conclusion that in a stable state, the choice of cooperation strategies between subsidiaries is not directly related to their willingness to share knowledge.

Reputation-based synergy and discounting mechanism promotes cooperation

A good group reputation often facilitates more efficient synergistic teamwork in production activities. Here we translate this simple motivation into a reputation-based synergy and discounting mechanism in the public goods game. Specifically, the reputation type of a group, either good or bad determined by a reputation threshold, modifies the nonlinear payoff structure described by a unified reputation impact factor. Results show that this reputation-based incentive mechanism could effectively promote cooperation compared with linear payoffs, despite the coexistence of synergy and discounting effects. Notably, the complicated interactions between reputation impact and reputation threshold result in a sharp phase transition from full cooperation to full defection. We also find that the presence of a few discounting groups could increase the average payoffs of cooperators, leading to an interesting phenomenon that when the reputation threshold is raised, the gap between the average payoffs of cooperators and defectors increases while the overall payoff decreases. We further extend our framework to heterogeneous situations and show how the variability of individuals affect the evolutionary outcomes. Our work provides important insights into facilitating cooperation in social groups.

THE INFLUENCE OF E-WOM AND CORPORATE REPUTATION ON DOWNLOAD INTENTION

<p>One of the competent institutions for character development and human resource development is higher education.

Along with the development of time in supporting natural resource management and accompanied by rapid technological development, various alternative local applications have emerged according to the urgent needs in maximizing the performance of a company, especially in terms of coordination. Universitas Bunda Mulia itself has provided an application for users in the academic environment, specifically students. This research aims to determine the impact of EWOM and Corporate Reputation on the intention to download the Universitas Bunda Mulia application. The approach used in this research is quantitative with regression tests. Our target sample is Universitas Bunda Mulia students and alumni. The sampling technique we used is the convenience sampling method with multiple regression analysis as a data analysis method.</p>

Reputation, dynamic capabilities, and the global footprint of corporate venture capital programs

In a sample of 163 corporations observed over a course of four years, we study the joint impact of reputation and dynamic capabilities on the international expansion of corporate venture capital (CVC) programs. Our findings suggest that CVC reputation positively affects the global footprint of CVC programs, and that dynamic capabilities positively moderate this relationship. The results are robust to alternative operationalizations of reputation and dynamic capabilities. A post-hoc analysis suggests that different facets of the CVC reputation contribute to the observed effects. Specifically, a reputation for experience and a reputation for involvement with portfolio ventures positively affect the global footprint of a CVC program. At the same time, a reputation for misconduct with respect to intellectual property suppresses internationalization of CVC programs. The effects of reputations for involvement and misconduct are positively moderated by dynamic capabilities of corporate investors, whereas the effect of reputation for experience is not affected by dynamic capabilities.
