AbstractCollaborative economy refers to social and economic sharing activities that make entities (customer and peer provider) in-service ecosystem can access services through technology or digital platform. This research aims to give a better understanding of activities and interaction between entities that can potentially elevate the existence of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation in Indonesia. Although research regarding the collaborative economy has been accelerating, there has not been a formal conceptualization of interaction from a broadening perspective as a service ecosystem in the context of co-creation. Preliminary study becomes crucial and relevant with the raising of the collaborative economy, based on the consideration that no previous research is considered to be able to explain the dynamics of interaction by using a perspective of Service-Dominant Logic (S-D Logic). This study seeks to answer two research questions, what interactions occur outside consumers, peer providers, platform providers, and how co-creation might be created in the P2P service ecosystem. This conceptual paper draws on the interaction from the perspective of co-creation between entities and stakeholders as a lens by using the systematic-qualitative approach. In general, this study uses the Soft System Methodology (SSM) precisely defining an unstructured situation in the real world. This study tries to initiate the development of phases of co-creation between entities in the service ecosystem. The outcomes of this study enrich the body of knowledge of service science, especially on the way to apply the framework value co-creation. The development of a better service ecosystem across particular engagement remains critical.

System Methodology

Soft System Methodology (SSM) is common guidance to conceptualise Knowledge Management (KM) model since its benefit to handle complex situations. This study highlights SSM implementation on KM conceptual model using Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to produce insights about current implementation and promising chances in the future. This study also concerns on KM conceptual models as created without certain features in many case studies. Many various interpretation can arise to understand how system should work. This situation affected more spending time to validate KM conceptual model with stakeholders. Using SLR, this study criticises the importance of features as provided in eligible articles. Out of 144 articles from 2009 until 2019 as delivered from Scopus query, this study selected 12 articles about SSM on KM. It classified them into several criteria: published year, sector, and related KM life cycle. By mapping them to solve research questions, this study promoted actors, activities, and sequential order of activities as recommended features. By implementing them, KM conceptual model creation can be faster and accepted by stakeholders.

Critical Structure

A need to correct the behaviour and deeds of people who have been incarcerated has been part of the plans of the South African government for a number of years now. Shifting from being punishment to rehabilitation centres, the correctional centres aim to rehabilitate and prepare inmates to be included and accepted by society beyond their incarceration period. Correctional library and information services provide a critical structure and support point by facilitating the attainment and improvement of education and providing rehabilitation and occupational skills to inmates during their time in these centres. This paper seeks to illustrate that correctional service libraries can be a critical support structure for rehabilitation and social inclusion of inmates in South African correctional centres. The paper also suggests how the correctional service libraries could be mainstreamed for correctional and developmental goals of inmates in South African correctional centres. This conceptual paper also adds to the body of knowledge that advocates for the important role of correctional service libraries in the rehabilitation of inmates. Finally, the paper aims to provide insights to policymakers on the role of correctional service libraries in shaping the lives of the inmates and people development.

Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) is the reciprocal and complementary flow and uptake of research knowledge between knowledge producers, knowledge intermediaries, and knowledge users. The purpose of this investigation is to explore the typology of Canadian university-based Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics outreach organizations and understand if/how they function as knowledge mobilization intermediaries. Three research questions guide this first study; 1) What are the organizational features of K-12 STEM outreach organizations; 2) To what extent do STEM outreach organizations interact with K-12 educators or administration and 3) What knowledge mobilizations processes do they currently use? The methodology used for data collection will be an online questionnaire consisting of qualitative based open-ended questions. The educational importance of this study aligns with the goals of KMb as it has relevance to both within academia and beyond. Within academia, the results will contribute towards the body of knowledge within K-12 STEM education. Beyond academia, this study has value in practice, as the results will engage STEM outreach organizations in conversation about KMb strategies

Current Stage

In the absence of an explicit and specific theory, the management of production processes in construction is essentially based on a Taylorist view, based on the economic theory of production. Thus, given the particularities of construction, the plans developed are often unreal, with recurring delays and unforeseen circumstances during production. Thus, because of the importance and the latent need to develop a specific theory, this article uses a systematic literature review (SLR) to comprehend what has been developed and discuss the topic. The main objective is to answer the following research questions: 1) What is being proposed to develop a production theory applied to construction? 2) What is the approach used in the publications? 3) What can be proposed for the body of knowledge in question to fill gaps? Based on the results of the SLR, it was verified that the development of such a theory appears to be very incipient and not formalized in the publications, with inconclusive results and weak multidisciplinary cooperation. Furthermore, there are indications that authors associated with Lean Thinking may be leading research on production theory in construction since most of the publications have results that were conceptually based on Lean Construction principles. It is understood that the content of this article is relevant because it outlines the current stage of development of the theory and indicates possible paths to achievements.

This investigation developed a measure of motor control at the ankle for persons with CP using relative phase. Twenty-nine subjects, 14 with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (CP group) and 15 without disability (WD group) were tested once. Video data were collected as a seated subject performed four full range of ankle plantar and dorsiflexion movement tasks (right ankle, left ankle, ankles in-phase with each other, and ankles antiphase to each other) at four different frequencies (self-paced, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 Hz). The relative phase measure was able to discern the differences between the two groups of children. The CP group had poorer motor control than the WD group, based upon the measure. Both groups had more difficulty performing the antiphase than the in-phase movements. The investigation adds to the body of knowledge in that the concept of relative phase was used as a measure of motor control at the ankle in persons with CP. Results indicated that the measure was adequately sensitive to quantify differences between a group with CP and a group without disability. Clinically the measure could eventually be used as both an assessment and outcome tool.

Methodological Approaches

The paper discusses the general features of the theoretical, epistemological, and methodological framework of a feminist approach in the early 21st-century Geopolitics with the aim to discover how its proponents challenge the established ?truths? of (neo)classical geopolitics and make innovative interventions to ?repair? and improve the knowledge produced in critical geopolitics. Being the most recent offspring of geopolitical knowledge that emerged only three decades ago, feminist geopolitics provoked an immediate backlash from the colleagues from the mainstream political geography in terms of recognising its disciplinary position. The author gives an overview of the body of a significant feminist geopolitical work drawn up based on a selected batch of most important international journals and edited volumes published since 2001. The author argues that the contribution of theoretical, epistemological and methodological insights of feminist geopolitics should be located in counterbalancing of the rigidity of the discipline mainstream, and in insisting on the analysis of the intersections of the public (state, global) and the private/intimate (body, home), interrelatedness of embodied life practices and abstract/bureaucratic geopolitical projects, as well as on the introduction of post-positivist methodological approaches and techniques. The paper systemises the most important feminist research questions, and particularly legitimate topics of the day, which were ignored or missed by the mainstream geopolitical research. The author concludes that the feminist approach still remains a dissident body of knowledge within the geopolitical thought, but with an emancipatory potential in creating theoretical and political space in which to articulate a more responsive notion of geopolitics - taken both as knowledge and practice - that might address victimisation of marginalised population entangled in imperial projects.

Expatriate Effectiveness

Purpose of the study: To investigate the causal effects of expatriates’ individual differences (measured by Job Insecurity, Personality, and Social Network) on their effectiveness (measured Coping Strategies, Job Performance, and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour) in carrying out their responsibility to complete assignments whilst stationed and working in Malaysia. Main Result: This conceptual paper will contribute to the body of knowledge on matters related to expatriates’ services in a cross-cultural and different environment, especially the difficulties they faced, roles played and contribution towards both the host country and the organization that they work for. The research gaps are on Coping Strategies is affecting the expatriate effectiveness and there are a few researches in the Malaysian context. Applications: It is significant to resolve the problem faced by expatriates working and stationed in Malaysia. This paper is important for both current and future development for academics (for theoretical knowledge consolidation), practitioners (for multinational organizations) and the country’s economy. The contribution to the literature on expatriate is by offering new individual variables that are influencing their performance, which could be unique and still relevant to each other, and this consolidates and enriches the literature. Novelty/Originality: This paper provides a better understanding of how the variables work on individual differences and how are they connected to effectiveness. It is also envisaged that the performance can be enhanced and multinationals will improve their profitability and thus contribute to the GDP of the country.

PurposeThe lack of authority of the sponsoring firm in online communities raises questions about how to orchestrate members of an online community in value co-creation. Hence, this study aims to examine how online communities co-create value with community members. The authors draw upon service-dominant logic (SDL) to study two comparable, and yet different, Indonesian firm-sponsored online communities.Design/methodology/approachThe authors build on an earlier systematic literature review and triangulate it with semi-structured interviews of 28 community members and content analysis of over 35,000 online comments. The data collection was conducted from February to October 2018.FindingsThe findings revealed that (1) value co-creation in online communities is orchestrated through the fluidity of the online community, which is represented by three mechanisms: consensus-making, consensus settlement and changing boundaries, and (2) the mechanisms can be conditioned by switching firm roles (as a co-creator and facilitator).Research limitations/implicationsThe study has enriched the body of knowledge in fluid organisations by explicating three mechanisms, consensus-making, consensus settlement and changing boundaries, that explain the coordination efforts between individuals who have options to participate or not and changing boundaries, that reveals actors' responses in online communities. The mechanisms demonstrate the dynamics of a service ecosystem.Originality/valueThis study offers valuable insights into how sponsoring firms orchestrate value creation in online communities where they do not have full control of participants' reactions. The authors hereby contribute to enriching the understanding of co-creating value with customers in a fluid organisation, such as online communities.
