Abstract

Purpose

Despite the large number of studies on country of origin, little is known about the effects of state-level product origin information on consumer attitudes and purchase intentions. Likewise, little is known about when the state-of-origin (SOO) information enhances, has no effect or has a negative effect on consumer attitudes and purchase intentions. Primarily drawing on the country-of-origin literature, this study aims to examine the influence of SOO label information and the moderating role of state residency.

Design/methodology/approach

To test five hypotheses, the authors conducted a survey (Study 1) and an experiment (Study 2). The analyses included content analysis, regression and ANOVA.

Findings

The findings show that for certain products, moderate-to-strong product–state associations exist. However, when the associations are weak, consumers show bias for products made in their (vs other) states. The findings also show that when consumers evaluate their state products, normative (vs cognitive) reasons drive their attitudes, but that when they assess products from states other than their state of residency, cognitive (vs normative) reasons drive attitudes. Additionally, economic sustainability seems a powerful motivator for buying products made in their state of residency.

Practical implications

Companies should take advantage of positive biases for their products in the states in which they produce products. However, when companies market their products outside their states of production, in some cases, they should consider deemphasizing SOO information unless there is a strong product–state association present among consumers outside of the state.

Originality/value

This paper adds value by providing new insights for designing product origin labeling programs. Suggestions for future research and marketing strategies for practitioners who want to use SOO as a branding strategy are offered.

Abstract

Purpose

Various guidelines are available to help effectively manage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. This paper aims to determine the current service provision for children with ADHD in the UK.

Design/methodology/approach

A cross‐sectional survey of the UK paediatricians was conducted online.

Findings

A total of 93 completed survey forms were received. Of the clinicians, 71 per cent assessed one to five new cases every month; 51.6 per cent clinicians followed up six to 20 children, whereas 29 per cent followed up 31 to 50 cases per month. A total of 77.4 per cent worked jointly with CAMHS. There was no support by a nurse to 83.9 per cent and a junior doctor to 71 per cent clinicians. Share care was in place in 74.2 per cent; 19.3 per cent did not have a local guideline. Audit of the ADHD clinic was done by 71 per cent responders.

Originality/value

The paper reveals that service for children with ADHD offered by paediatricians showed wide variation. There is a need for more provision of resources to enable comprehensive assessment and multimodal treatment for ADHD.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the paper was to show that in October 2000 NICE issued guidance on the use of methylphenidate for ADHD in children. Agreed standards based on NICE guidance were finalised in May 2002 in East Kent. Authors conducted a multidisciplinary multisite audit across East Kent in 2001/2002. The audit demonstrated that practices met some of the standards but deficiencies were identified. There was also variation in practice across the region. A time bound action plan was agreed.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper aims to re‐audit the use of methylphenidate in children with ADHD and complete the audit cycle loop.

Findings

The paper finds a retrospective case notes review of children diagnosed with ADHD between 1 January and 30 June 2004 and subsequently started on short/long acting methylphenidate.

Research limitations/implications

The paper shows that a total of 58 notes were audited. Re‐audit showed an increase in the use of Conners' rating scales to 91 vs 66 percent in the previous audit. More children had their pulse and blood pressure recorded before start of medication (84 vs 51 percent). GPs, schools and parents received written information respectively in 93 vs 89 percent, 71 vs 60 percent, and 69 vs 64 percent cases at start of methylphenidate and in 69 vs 75 percent, 57 vs 53 percent, and 59 vs 57 percent cases about the most recent visit. There has been no significant change in the shared care with GPs (3 vs 4 percent). “Trial‐off” medication was considered in 82 vs 16 percent in the previous audit.

Originality/value

This paper showed improvements in some areas identified in the previous audit. Professionals still need to communicate more with those involved with the child, as this was an issue highlighted through carer involvement. Shared care arrangements with GPs continue to be an issue and work is ongoing. A new time limited action plan is being developed. There are now regular multidisciplinary ADHD team meetings and much less variation in practice across the region as a direct result of this audit.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to theorize and examine how target country governance quality, target country market potential and acquirer’s prior experience impacts equity participation in cross-border acquisitions.

Design/methodology/approach

The hypothesized effects are tested using a sample of 1,447 acquisitions undertaken over an 11-year time by US-based multinational enterprises (MNEs) in four emerging markets: Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC).

Findings

Analysis suggests that target country governance quality (government effectiveness, rule of law and control of corruption) strongly influences equity participation, and market potential moderates the influence of governance quality on equity participation. Further, findings demonstrate that acquirer’s target country acquisition experience amplifies the positive influence of market potential on governance quality-equity participation relationship.

Originality/value

This study adds to the existing knowledge of equity participation in cross-border acquisitions (CBAs) undertaken by foreign MNEs in BRICs. This understanding is important since MNEs across the globe invest in BRIC utilizing CBA, and related research remains limited.

Abstract

The financial system of an economy, especially banking, facilitates efficient allocation of resources from savers to borrowers for productive investments, and thus promotes economic growth. State-wise bank credit in India shows a growing divergence, despite the aim of central planning to reach a degree of convergence in macroeconomic performance over time. This chapter analyzes how diverging bank credit affects macroeconomic performances of the Indian states, through an alternative approach of composite indicators-based rankings of states adopting the methodology of TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) that is used in operations research or more specifically MCDM (multiple criteria decision-making). A composite indicator of the states’ annual macroeconomic performances has been constructed taking indicators of output growth, per capita state domestic product, inflation, and fiscal indicators for years 2006–2018. States are ranked by both macroeconomic performance and bank credit to states, and the correlation between the two indicators, known in the literature to be interlinked,is studied here to understand how the availability of credit or lack of it has influenced State level macroeconomic development in India. The results thus show that wealthier and better performing states continue to attract the larger chunk of bank credit, while weaker states have not been able to catch up. An important policy implication would be to place even more emphasis on higher levels of credit growth for weaker states, particularly infrastructure credit, to achieve a degree of income convergence throughout the Indian economy.
