The research method adopted includes in-depth interview and focus group interview. The procedure for scale development was: item generation, scale purification, and scale validation. This research uses qualitative and empirical methods to identify the six key dimensions of brand authenticity and develop a brand authenticity scale. As a result, a six-dimensional scale containing seventeen items was developed representing distinctive dimensions of brand authenticity: virtue, connection, realism, aesthetics, control, and originality. This research contributes to the branding literature by identifying the dimensions of brand authenticity through the development of a brand authenticity scale. Moreover, the six dimensions represent the most comprehensive understanding of brand authenticity. The brand authenticity scale can be used with confidence to examine relationships with other important constructs of interest in the future. \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: Van-Dat Tran, Ching-Jui Keng, \"The Brand Authenticity Scale: Development and Validation\", Contemporary Management Research, Vol.14, No.4, pp. 277-291, 2018. \u0000 \u0000Permanent link to this document: \u0000http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.18581","PeriodicalId":36973,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Management Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45130246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study uses 312 annual reports of publicly listed Indian companies for the accounting years 2006, 2012 and 2014. We follow a Multivariate Ordinary Least Squares (MOLS) modelling framework to test the hypotheses. Our empirical results indicate that the decision to provide voluntary non-financial disclosure is positively related to a firm’s age, profitability, industrial category and leverage. Our results further indicate that, contrary to legitimacy theory, the decision to provide social and environmental non-financial disclosures by sampled publicly listed companies is found to correlate negatively with consumer proximity, leverage and industrial transport industry membership. Our results add new empirical evidence to support the view that non-financial disclosure by companies is influenced by country-specific characteristics within which the firm operates. Future research could extend the study to other emerging countries and include data from unlisted companies to validate our findings. \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: Asit Bhattacharyya and Frank Wogbe Agbola, \"Social and Environmental Reporting and the Co-creation of Corporate Legitimacy\", Contemporary Management Research, Vol.14, No.3, pp. 191-223, 2018. \u0000 \u0000Permanent link to this document: \u0000http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.18247","PeriodicalId":36973,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Management Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44868600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of differences in institutional pressures were examined through examining differences between the United States and the European Union as well as between two European nations, France and Spain, in Greenpeace’s strategy. We suggested that formal and informal institutional pressures influence strategic decision-making in Greenpeace’s independent national units. We proposed that the US differs from the EU in both formal and informal institutional environments, Spain and France differ in the informal dimension, and these differences are reflected in Greenpeace’s strategies. We also argued that Greenpeace exemplifies the successful use of a transnational strategy and discussed that non-profits may be better able to adopt a transnational strategy than do for-profits. \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: Stephen R.

The study was performed for the years of 2009 and 2014. To explore the link between culture and managerial response, factor analysis, regression and structural modelling using SPSS V22 and AMOS V22 are employed to explain what constitutes managerial leadership excellence in Bangladesh. The results, based on the perceptions of 660 Bangladesh managers, suggest that managers are receptive to behavioural changes demanded by the environment. In particular, empathy has a negative relationship with the Excellent Leader response in 2014 compared to 2009, thus suggesting environmental changes influencing managerial behaviours. Future research should explore further the time and etic influences on leadership. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: Managerial Leadership, Human Capacity Building Sufi Islam, Environment Sustainability, Empathy \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: Christopher Selvarajah, Denny Meyer, and Tarun Kanti Bose, \"Organisational Leadership in Bangladesh: An Investigation of Managerial Response to A Change Environment\", Contemporary Management Research, Vol.14, No.1, pp. 21-52, 2018. \u0000 \u0000Permanent link to this document: \u0000http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.18341","PeriodicalId":36973,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Management Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"21-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45386244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study found that more consumers find and evaluate goods through social media networks. At the same time, marketers continue to promote brand recognition, but more importantly, to increase user engagement. However, the link between the brand community and social media has become the focus of the marketing staff and the public. But the academic research of the brand community and the social media in the past focused on brand loyalty. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore how virtual brand communities could create social impacts on their customers. This study will use a web survey from customers from Insightxplorer’s Cyber Panel who intend to adopt a social network service. Factor analysis will be conducted to confirm the induced factors from literature review. Furthermore, PLS will be used to determine the variation in social networking sites’ quality, brand communities’ engagement, virtual community and equity. Finally, in-depth discussions and conclusions will be provided to inform research and practice. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: Social Media Marketing, Virtual Brand Community, Brand Community Engagement \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: I Ping Chiang, Shou En Tu, and Ling Hui Wang, \"Exploring The Social Marketing Impacts of Virtual Brand Community Engagement\", Contemporary Management Research, Vol.14, No.2, pp. 143-164, 2018. \u0000 \u0000Permanent link to this document: \u0000http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.18086","PeriodicalId":36973,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Management Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47601735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a case study to understand the search advertising strategy employed by Taobao based on two sample data sets obtained from the online shopping site taobao.com operated under the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. The first data set contains features about the advertisements displayed after the customer’s search using keyword(s). The second data set contains features about the advertisements clicked by customers. These features and the features specific to customers such as their location, time of search, and time of clicking an advertisement in the data sets are studied to reveal insights into the online advertising strategy employed by Taobao in response to customer searches. The results of data analysis show that there is often a relationship among the variables such as the number of advertisements displayed, prices of advertised products, whether a keyword was used in the search, the time elapsed between the start of search and when an advertisement was clicked, the number of keywords used in search, the likelihood of clicking on an advertisement, and price discounts of advertised products. Specific relationships between these variables are formulated as hypothesis and then tested. The insights gained from the test results can be used to develop better business models for sponsored search advertising. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: Online Search, Sponsored Search, Online Advertising, Taobao \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: Joseph Richards and Min Li, \"The Chinese E-Commerce Search Advertising Business: A Case Study of Taobao\", Contemporary Management Research, Vol.14, No.2, pp. 121-142, 2018. \u0000 \u0000Permanent link to this document: \u0000http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.18285","PeriodicalId":36973,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Management Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47427443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We emphasise that the link is framed by its historical legacy of social ideals.

Structural equation modelling of the data obtained from surveying 808 managers across occupational industry sectors in the Netherlands support this hypothesis. Results reveal that in the Netherlands (1) the external environment has an unique influence, through its impact on managerial behaviour; (2) the external environment has a profound influence on managers’ personal qualities underpinned by their feminine-value-oriented social roles; and (3) organisational prosperity and work orientations are driven by environmental uncertainty avoidance and managers’ feminine-valued social roles. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: Uncertainty Avoidance, Social Roles, Organisation Prosperity, Work Orientation, Preferred Leadership Styles, Polder Philosophy \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: Christopher Selvarajah, Denny Meyer, Andre de Waal, and Beatrice Van der Heijden, \"Dutch Managerial Leadership Strategies: Managing Uncertainty Avoidance, Feminine-Related Social Roles, Organisation Prosperity Focus, and Work Orientation within A Polder Framework\", Contemporary Management Research, Vol.14, No.2, pp. 87-120, 2018. \u0000 \u0000Permanent link to this document: \u0000http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.18279","PeriodicalId":36973,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Management Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42187765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we identified, through survey questionnaires, audit quality attributes and dimensions (in terms of both their technical and service dimensions) based on the perception of supervisory board members in a sample of large and medium Dutch corporations. Factor analysis of the audit quality attributes produced four quality dimensions related to the core outcome of the audit service (auditor competence and independence) and five quality dimensions related to the relational (service) aspect. The paper, further, discusses the influence of these quality dimensions on the assessment of overall audit quality. The findings indicate that the technical and functional quality dimensions identified in this study do influence supervisory directors’ perception of overall audit quality. The findings have both theoretical and policy implications. Our emphasis on supervisory board members, as current de jure and de facto clients of auditors, is a unique contribution of this study. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: Service Quality, Audit Quality, Supervisory Directors, Functional Quality, Technical Quality, Auditor Independence, The Netherlands \u0000 \u0000To cite this document: Asmerom Atewebrhan Ghebremichael, \"Determinants of Audit Service Quality Perceptions of Supervisory \u0000Directors in Dutch Corporations\", Contemporary Management Research, Vol.14, No.1, pp. 53-84, 2018. \u0000 \u0000Permanent link to this document: \u0000http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.18037","PeriodicalId":36973,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Management Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"53-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46454530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
