This article argues that despite a citation review is a rarely used research tool, this can be very useful to assess the impact of new research topics, both from the future research direction and the bibliometric perspectives. An explorative study is presented around the research area marked as Industry 4.0 with the conference paper mentioned in the title of this citation review. Even though the given reference paper is relatively recent, there are already twenty-seven citations listed among three different scholar databases. These are Google Scholar, ResearchGate and Semantic Scholar. In light of this, the article provides a bibliometric confirmation and analysis for the progression of the line of research adopted by de Giorgio et al. in the exploration of non-traditional methods using virtual reality technology and human-robot collaboration for adaptive applications in Industry 4.0. Furthermore, it represents a model for the authors’ self-development and an example of an unconventional approach to scientific work that may help improve related bibliometric research and scholar database strategies to index new articles and topics in the future.

The importance of, and interest in, sustainability in management education has increased significantly over the past three decades. However, the definition of sustainability remains complex and elusive, thus creating significant issues for sustainability instruction, assignment design, and student learning. We reviewed definitions and use of sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) nomenclature from academics, corporations, and business and society course textbooks. The evidence is clear that sustainability and CSR are commonly and frequently used interchangeably not only in academic research and the classroom but also by textbook authors and business reports. Using a sustainability assignment gone wrong, we present data and analysis showing that this lack of definitional clarity and intermingling of the concepts of sustainability and CSR led to problems with student learning and outcomes from the assignment. Student work was heavily influenced by corporate terminology, which superseded textbook, nomenclature, and classroom instruction. We call for future research to delve into the issue of clarifying the definitional complexity and conflation.

Although the volume of business and management education (BME) research has expanded substantially, concerns remain about the field’s legitimacy and its ability to attract new and dedicated scholars. An obstacle that may impede field development is lack of knowledge about influential works and authors to frame topical areas of inquiry and future research questions. We used citation analysis to track the development of BME research by uncovering 100 highly cited articles that revolve primarily around four research topical areas: (a) Entrepreneurship Education, (b) Distance Education/Online Teaching and Learning, (c) Business Student Ethics, and (d) Characteristics/Critiques of Business Schools. We then used legitimation code theory to categorize these articles on the basis of richness of knowledge ideas (Knowledge Code), the reputation of scholars (Knower Code), the combination of knowledge and reputation (Elite Code), or some other qualities (Relativist Code). Both Entrepreneurship Education and Online Teaching and Learning had articles in Relativist Code, Elite Code, and Knowledge Code categories, with other topical areas primarily populating the Knower Code and Relativist Code categories. We conclude by discussing potential implications for the development of BME research topics, BME scholars, and future applications of legitimation code theory.

Do So

The concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI) has gained a great amount of public popularity and business attention in the past two decades. EI is currently considered a broadly recognized practitioner instrument for hiring, training, leadership development, and team building by the business people. In this context, the analysis of the evolution and development of this concept is crucial. In order to do so, this study presents the global research trends in EI area. The article presents a bibliometric analysis of 4297 journal articles on EI. These works come from the Scopus database for the period 1966-2018. The study sorts these articles according to the following bibliographic indicators: journal with most published research, highly cited articles, countries with the highest rate of productivity, prolific authors, year of publication, language, and research area. Besides, the study graphically maps the bibliographic material by using the visualization of similarities (VOS) viewer software. In order to do so, the work uses co-authorship among authors and affiliated countries, and co-occurrence of author keywords. Results have shown that since 2005, the number of publications has increased exponentially, resulting in the steady increase in the cumulative total publications until present. The United States (US) is the most productive country. Also, among the most productive university from each of the 15 leading countries, three were amongst the world’s top 100 universities. The prominent authors were Petrides, Konstantinos V. and Extremera Pacheco, Natalio. whereas the top journals were the Personality and Individual Differences, Frontiers in Psychology and Life Science Journal. A network visualisation map showed that ‘emotional intelligence’, ‘emotions’ and ‘personality’ were the most encountered key terms. Therefore, this paper serves as a platform for the new researchers to refer concerning which journals, authors and articles they may consult while establishing the future research direction.

Transactional Leadership Style

Colleges across the world share a common goal of wanting to improve academic performance of students. In this era of culpability, the pressure for principals to improve students' performance has increased. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the best leadership style adopted by principals of vocational colleges in Kenya. Lecturers in selected vocational colleges were issued with a modified Bass's multi-factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) to aid the data collection process. Structural equation model (SEM) approach was used to test a model that measures principals' best leadership style on learning outcomes. The study established that principals practiced more transactional leadership. In addition, transactional leadership style significantly and positively influenced learning outcomes. The findings have a variety of implications to vocational training and future research direction.
