Purpose: Knowledge hiding is a phenomenon in organizations that is commonly observed to be detrimental to the performance of employees. The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework, which uses social exchange theory and social identity theory to advance an understanding of how climate for innovation can dampen the negative impact of knowledge hiding on performance. Design/methodology/approach: We have reviewed papers on the concept of knowledge hiding, social identity theory, social exchange theory as well as the literature on climate for innovation, in order to draw the relationships and propose a framework. Findings: Based on the papers reviewed, this study conceptually advances the understanding that an organizational factor such as “climate for innovation” would prove beneficial to check and reduce knowledge hiding behavior i.e. unhide the knowledge and subsequently improve performance of employees in organizations. Practical implications: This study proposes climate for innovation, as a factor that would influence the negative impact of knowledge hiding on performance. It is under the control of the managers to create such environment in their teams and the work settings, which would help un-hide the knowledge, and thereby promoting performance at workplace. Originality/value: This paper contributes to the literature on knowledge hiding as well as the climate for innovation. This is the first work to propose an interaction of climate of innovation with knowledge hiding behavior and their overall impact on performance. The framework is explained in a simple term, to bridge the gap between academics and practitioner world. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Purpose: The traditional newsvendor model has focused on deriving the optimal order quantity that minimises the balance between stocking too much or too less number of products. However, the managers make inventory decisions based on intuitions and shortcuts, which may involve human errors and biases. The effect of cognitive biases and heuristics influencing the inventory ordering decisions in newsvendor settings is highlighted. The advancement of research associated to the newsvendor biases is reviewed to appreciate the behavioral aspects of the minds underlying this process. Design/methodology/approach: The use of experimental and non-experimental methods to investigate the ordering behaviour of newsvendors is described and we present a framework of the existing literature and highlight the research gaps to point to future research possibilities and priorities. Findings: The proposed framework gives a systematic approach to confirm the existence of a substantial scope of research opportunities and points to specific areas for further research. It synthesizes the existing results of behavioral newsvendor research and will act as a key reference paper. In addition, it will help the practitioners and software tool vendors to comprehend the behavioral perspective of newsvendor preferences and design strategies to mitigate this effect. The insights will be helpful for academicians, researchers and practitioners working in the areas of experimental economics, behavioral economics, behavioral operations, bounded rationality theory, newsvendor modelling and supply chain contracts. Originality/value: A summary of literature in this evolving area of research is very scarce. Considering the impact of behavioral economics on managerial decisions in the contemporary world, it is highly important to have an educational summary which can act as a tool for the practitioners and researchers in the area of behavioral operations management. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Learning outcomes: The case would help students to learn the concept of high involvement innovation activity and how to apply it in large service organizations to increase innovation involvement. The case will help the students to reflect on the significance of organizing structure and culture of an organization for enabling innovation and innovation process models. The case would further help the students to develop the skill to plan and implement simple, innovative innovation process models which will increase the ideation capabilities of the organization. The students will also be able to understand the role of informal learning in innovation and how to facilitate it. Case overview/synopsis: Cyient � a global services firm � had always focused on innovation as a key strategic capability winning various annual client awards for over a decade. However, in 2012, Cyient missed the innovation awards which led to the introduction of Idea Tree initiative in Aerospace & Defense (AED) business unit of Cyient. Cyient was able to co-create patents and offer cost savings to its clients through the Idea Tree initiative. This cost-effective and unique initiative resulted in re-organizing the structure (from formal to a quasi-formal), culture (open to new ideas, mistakes and failures) and process (stage-gate) inside Cyient AED business unit. However, Idea Tree also suffers from challenges such as lack of a digital format, lack of corporate presence across Cyient and its highly informal nature. In this context, the CEO wants to review the Idea Tree initiative to decide on its future in Cyient. Complexity academic level: The case is suitable for teaching multiple facets of innovation for MBA and Executive MBA classes in core Strategy, Managing Organizations and Entrepreneurship and for elective courses such as Innovation Management, Organizing for Innovation or HRM for Innovation. The case is suitable for both fresher and experienced participants. Supplementary materials: Teaching Notes are available for educators only.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the dividend payout behavior of Indian firms and test whether the three prominent dividend policy theories (signaling, life-cycle and catering) explain the dividend policy of Indian firms. Design/methodology/approach: The authors test the three theories using the methodology based on the studies of Nissim and Ziv (2001), DeAngelo et al. (2006) and Baker and Wurgler (2004). For testing the signaling theory, the authors regress the change in earnings on the rate of change in dividends using the pooled and Fama�Macbeth regressions. The life cycle theory is tested by running a logistic regression of the dividend payment decision on two proxies of life-cycle measured by the ratio of earned to total equity. Finally, the catering theory tests the relationship between the decision to pay a dividend and the dividend premium. Findings: The results based on a sample of Indian firms from 1992 to 2017 show that the dividend policy of Indian firms can be explained using the life-cycle theory. However, there is no evidence in support of the signaling and catering theories. Originality/value: It provides insights into the dividend policy of Indian firms. Though there have been a few studies examining the dividend payout in India, none of the existing studies tests these theories of dividend payout. The existing research using the Indian data provides indirect evidence about the life-cycle theory. This study is the first one to test the application of these theories for Indian firms. � 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Conventionally, in papers focusing on the Institution-Based View (IBV), institutions are studied and measured as a nation-level construct, and the assumption is that institutional forces are consistent across industries. This study further develops this notion by demonstrating how the variation in institutional forces within industries impacts outcomes for firms, even after controlling for variations in firm, industry, and nationwide institutional characteristics. Using a new measure, which we refer to as the Institutional-Industry index, on a sample of 3483 firms based in India from 104 unique industry categories for the years 1996�2017, we demonstrate that the institutional context within industries captured through the Institutional-Industry index impacts performance outcomes for firms. Additionally, we find that the Institutional-Industry index impacts outcomes for critical firm-level strategic variables, namely, internationalization, intangible resources, and business group affiliation. This research extends the institution-based view while providing important insights on the determinants of firm performance. � 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Mobile phones are the most accessible information and communication technology today, and they serve as the gateway to high-speed internet for large populations in developing economies. However, despite the progress, there remains a persistent disparity in mobile phone usage among users, and between users and non-users, in developing countries. However, the literature on the digital divide has paid limited attention to the multi-level nature of this gap in mobile phone adoption and use, particularly in developing countries. This research paper provides a comparative analysis of this divide in mobile phone usage in eight developing nations from Africa and Asia. Broadly, the study categorises individuals into three groups: mobile phone non-users, mobile phone users who do not use internet applications and mobile phone users who use applications that need internet access. The disparity between these users was analysed using micro-level survey data from each country. The study results show that the nature of the divide varies across countries and that the influence of socio-demographic factors is not consistent. Further, we find that there is a larger digital divide in terms of mobile phone usage in Asian countries when compared to African countries. The study recommends that policymakers and international agencies exercise caution while developing one-size-fits-all cross-country policies to address the multi-level digital divide. � 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role of informal learning behaviors in increasing the social capital of organizations. The paper provides a brief overview of social capital and informal learning and proposes to interlink them for increasing knowledge capability of organizations. Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on a review of social capital theory and informal learning behaviors, this article presents a conceptual approach for practitioners to deploy informal learning behaviors to increase social capital and subsequently, the knowledge capability of their organizations. Findings: With the fast-changing global business scenario and limited availability of capital to invest in formal training behaviors, organizations continue to face difficulties in increasing their knowledge capability. This article suggests a simple, cost-effective and easy-to-deploy method of employing informal learning behaviors to build and sustain social capital and through it the knowledge capabilities of organizations. Originality/value: There is currently limited research into the applicability of using informal learning behaviors in the field of social capital and knowledge capability building. � 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Platooning is an emerging transportation practice that has the potential to solve the problems of the burgeoning transportation industry. A platoon is a group of vehicles, with vehicle to vehicle communication, that travel closely behind one another such that the platoon can accelerate, brake and cruise together. Platoons can improve road safety, be energy efficient and reduce costs. Its complete socio-economic benefits include congestion mitigation, smoother traffic flow, better lane usage and throughput, incentives for green logistics and driver safety. The long-term effect of platooning on road transportation, if extensively deployed, would be better organised traffic flow and efficient tracking of vehicles on the road ushering a multilevel positive impact on the industry. In this study, we attempt to answer the critical question of whether platooning is an adoptable practice in the near future and discuss an agenda to take platooning closer to implementation on the ground by highlighting the opportunities for future research. We also present a conceptual framework to help researchers, academicians, policy makers and practitioners for the adoption of platooning into the transportation industry. � 2020, � 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Social movements driven by a combination of religious nationalism and economic fundamentalism are globally grabbing the levers of political, economic, and intellectual control. The consequence is a policy climate premised on polarization in which inequality and destruction of the natural environment are condoned. This creates demands on key academic institutions like business schools, with stakeholders who are complicit in the sustenance of these social movements. Scholars in these schools have an opportunity to respond through curricula that facilitate reflection on the ideological preferences of such groups under their influence. However, stakeholders influenced by religious nationalism tend to reject the premises of liberal secular vocabulary as elitist or alien and hence suspicious. This article considers a teaching strategy to instill values of equality and respect for nature among the stakeholders by grounding curriculums in the tenets of the same religion valorized by the social movements. The consequences of such a strategy is discussed through its application to the business curriculums taught in India, where a regressive social movement with totalitarian pretensions�Hindutva�combined with neoliberalism has secured unparalleled power. Elements of this strategy could inform educators in other democratic societies facing similar challenges. � The Author(s) 2017.

This paper examines the influence of firm rivalry within an industry on the internationalization of new ventures in an emerging economy. Drawing on industrial organization and institutional theories, it was hypothesized that the influence of industry concentration (an index of firm rivalry) on new venture internationalization changes with the deepening of economic liberalization processes. An analysis of new ventures from 67 Indian industries from 1996 to 2014 suggests that the relation between industry concentration and new venture internationalization shifts gradually from a U-shaped relation to an inverted U-shaped relation during this time period. Implications for the generalizability of research in an emerging economy across time are discussed. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Purpose: The study aims to understand the signaling effects of two major recruitment advertisement (ad) contents � job attributes and organizational attributes (OA) � on the perceptions and application intentions (AIs) of potential job seekers. Design/methodology/approach: A fictitious faculty job ad based on existing real ads was created as a stimulus and the responses to the ad were collected from 270 job seekers of the academic domain in India. The partial least square-structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothetical relationships. Findings: Drawing from the concept of signaling theory and instrumental-symbolic framework, the results revealed that job attributes and OA exhibit strong signals that generate the following perceptual outcomes in a job seeker � organizational attractiveness, attitude and person-organization fit. These perceptual outcomes mediated effectively to induce an AI in a job seeker. Signals from information on job attributes had a more significant effect on the job seeker than signals from information on OA. Practical implications: The outcome of the study provides preparatory guidelines to academicians, institutional recruiters and recruitment agencies in posting an effective job ad. Originality/value: From an Indian context, this is the first paper to present distinctive job advertising strategies to be implemented in the academic institutional recruitment communication. � 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Since the application of mobile technology for financial services can contribute to the economic development of developing countries, it is critical to examine the inhibitors to using mobile money service in countries like India, which have an exceptionally low uptake of this service. Mobile money service enables the customer to carry out financial transactions over a mobile phone without requiring them to own a bank account. By adopting a market separation perspective, this theory-driven, exploratory study proposes and tests a rare event logistic regression model for using mobile money services in India. The analysis of 45,036 responses shows that the ownership of a SIM card (temporal separation), income and ownership of a bank account (financial separations), awareness of mobile money services (information separation), age and gender (social separations), and location of residence (spatial separation) significantly inhibit the use of mobile money services. Implications are discussed at the end. � 2019, � 2019 Commonwealth Secretariat.

The impact of AI could be significant, with industries ranging from: finance, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, supply chain, logistics and utilities, all potentially disrupted by the onset of AI technologies. The study brings together the collective insight from a number of leading expert contributors to highlight the significant opportunities, realistic assessment of impact, challenges and potential research agenda posed by the rapid emergence of AI within a number of domains: business and management, government, public sector, and science and technology. This research offers significant and timely insight to AI technology and its impact on the future of industry and society in general, whilst recognising the societal and industrial influence on pace and direction of AI development. � 2019 Elsevier Ltd

This article studies the competitive dynamics between an incumbent and a late entrant in a market governed by network effects. Classifying markets based on decision criterion used by majority of consumers in a market, an analytical model for the likelihood of incumbent displacement in these markets is developed and corroborated using simulations. Using product quality offered and product price charged by the entrant as managerial levers, the impact of managerial decision-making on the expected market share of the entrant is discussed. Efficacy of seeding and delayed entry by the entrant in an attempt to perfect its product is also examined. � The Author(s) 2019.

Little is known about the drivers of corporate investments in tax havens from emerging markets. This paper offers extensive descriptive statistics and regression analysis to illustrate the patterns and motivations for tax haven investments by Indian firms over the 2007�2017 period. We find that the motivations for Indian firms to invest in tax havens are not only driven by the benefits of tax avoidance and secrecy of these jurisdictions, but also to seek strategic advantage and efficiency gains in global markets. � 2019, Springer Nature Limited.

Detecting intrusions has become a mandatory service in IoT environments. This is due to the power and resource con-strained nature of the networks. This paper presents a Decentralized Time-Window based Anomaly Detection (DTRAD) model for cost and time effective intrusion detection in IoT environments. The proposed model is composed of time win-dow based training data selection module, which enables better detection and reduced bias. Training data are selected based on their temporal significance and the bag creation process is also temporally performed such that data with similar temporal signatures are grouped into same bags. The ensemble model is created and weighted voting is performed to ena-ble better results. The data reinforcement module enables new data to be appended to the training data, hence maintaining the recency of the data. Further, the entire process is decentralized, hence enabling data processing at appropriate nodes. This keeps the size of the training data low, hence reducing the computational complexity of the model to a large extent. Experiments were performed with benchmark data and comparisons were performed with recent models. Results indicate high performance of the proposed models. � BEIESP.

This study examined the effect of determinants influencing the performance of 45 commercial banks in India, post the global financial crisis. The random effect model on balanced panel data for the period from 2010-2016 was performed to determine the impact of the macroeconomic and bank specific factors on the profitability of 45 Indian commercial banks (26 public sector banks and 19 private sector banks). The results suggested that the private sector banks performed better than the public sector banks. Findings of the model revealed that a significant part of the commercial banks' profitability was explained by bank specific factors like the NPAs, profit per employee, operating profit to total assets, and investment to total assets, while the capital adequacy ratio remained insignificant. The macroeconomic variables like GDP, IIP, and WPI were significant in explaining the profitability of the Indian commercial banks. This paper highlighted new facts in better understanding of the profitability of commercial banks in growing economies like India. � 2019, Associated Management Consultants Pvt. Ltd.
