How to conduct systematic literature reviews in management research: a guide in 6 steps and 14 decisions
(2023-05-12)
Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) have become a standard tool in many fields of management research but are often considerably less stringently presented than other pieces of research. The resulting lack of replicability of the research and conclusions has spurred a vital debate on the SLR process, but related guidance is scattered across a number of core references and is overly centered on the design and conduct of the SLR, while failing to guide researchers in crafting and presenting their findings in an impactful ...

Countering Negotiation Power Asymmetries by Using the Adjusted Winner Algorithm
(2023-03-10)
One promise of computational decision support is enabling better solutions in interactions and social exchange by supporting human strengths (e.g. intuitive decision-making) with formal procedures. This study investigates whether mathematical post-negotiation procedures can guide parties to an efficient negotiation result and thus overcome the shortcomings of human-only approaches in the situation of power asymmetry. The results show that (a) an increase in power by means of a rise in issue authority for one of the ...

Analyzing the implications of organic standardization and certification in alternative food networks: The capability approach
(2023-06-14)
Although organic standards and certification schemes have a crucial role in ensuring quality, safety, and sustainability within food systems, there is a need to critically analyze their implications on human capabilities within alternative food networks (AFNs). Therefore, this paper draws upon the capability approach to analyze the implications of three governance mechanisms (i.e., third-party, social control, and hybrid certification) on human flourishing within AFNs in Ceará, Brazil. The three cases primarily build ...

Get the happiness out–An online experiment on the causal effects of positive emotions on giving
(2023-08-23)
Our study provides new evidence on the impact of positive emotions on voluntary contributions to public goods in a natural setting. Using a lab-in-field experiment, we induce positive incidental emotions randomly and analyze their effects on donations using a dictator game with multiple beneficiaries. Although we find no significant overall effect of positive incidental emotions on donation levels, our results show a significant shift in the allocation of donations towards the host charity. These findings shed light ...

Efficacy of supply chain relationships – differences in performance appraisals between buyers and suppliers
(2023-02-28)
This paper examines the efficacy of three supply chain relationship factors: trust, commitment, and relationship specific investment (RSI) in affecting firms’ cooperation, innovation and financial performance, comparing buyers’ and suppliers’ perspectives. A questionnaire survey was conducted in mainland China. Two independent samples with 101 and 108 responses respectively from the Chinese business buyers and suppliers were collected by visiting nine large annual exhibitions. Both samples involved buyer–supplier ...

ESG criteria and the credit risk of corporate bond portfolios
(2023-10-25)
Demand for sustainable fixed-income investment solutions is surging but there is hardly research on the impact of sustainability on the risk characteristics of fixed-income portfolios. This study examines the impact of sustainability on the credit risk exposure of corporate bond portfolios between 2013 and 2020 by analyzing the returns of sustainable and non-sustainable portfolios using two different asset pricing models and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings from different providers. Controlling for ...

Portfolio benefits of taxonomy orientated and renewable European electric utilities
(2023-08-19)
This paper investigates carbon and energy mix risk in the equity prices of EU-Taxonomy orientated and renewable European electric utility companies. We calculate carbon intensity and energy mix factors to measure possible carbon and energy mix premia while investigating the performance of portfolios of EU-Taxonomy orientated and renewable European electric utilities. We use a unique dataset to extend the three-factor model presented by Fama and French (1993) and find evidence of a positive renewable energy mix premium ...

Research and development intensive clusters and regional competitiveness
(2023-05-02)
Modern cluster theory provides reasons for positive external effects that accrue from the interaction of spatially proximate firms operating in common and related fields of economic activity. In this paper, we examine the impact of R&D-intensive clusters as a key factor of regional competitiveness on productivity growth. In relying on a hybrid approach of cluster identification, we examine effects of cluster specialization and diversity for a panel of German NUTS-3 regions in 2003–2019. After controlling for regional ...

Basisarbeit und menschengerechte Arbeitsgestaltung – Strategische Erfordernisse und Ansätze
(2023-11-24)
In diesem Beitrag wird der Aspekt der Basisarbeit beleuchtet, der aus der zunehmenden Komplexität der technischen Entwicklung resultiert. Eine technologische Entwicklung im Rahmen des Gesamtsystems wird nicht linear aus ergonomischen Anforderungen heraus entwickelt, sondern erwächst aus einem komplexen und dynamischen Wechselspiel zwischen unterschiedlichen Akteur/-innen. Aus dieser Eigendynamik des Gesamtsystems ergeben sich ungünstige Entwicklungen, die Sheridan (2002) als ‚Entfremdung‘ und ‚Versklavung‘ des Menschen ...
