Summary: This paper explores the perception of host-children's engagement in tourism and proposes a transformative paradigm to transcend the dichotomy of universalism and cultural relativism. Through photo-elicitation interviews with 82 Cambodian host-children, both favorable and unfavorable perceptions of their engagement in tourism are identified. Hence, it argues that host-children's engagement in tourism should not be seen as black and white but as a complicated social phenomenon.

Summary: This study explores the influencing factors and formation process of Cultural Inheritance-Based Innovation (CIBI) using innovation systems theory and qualitative methods. The findings suggest that CIBI is influenced by multilevel factors and involves balancing the paradoxical elements of cultural inheritance and innovation through innovation system support. This research deepens the understanding of the paradoxical relationship between heritage conservation and innovation, expands the framework of factors influencing cultural innovation at tourism destinations, and provides insights into the management and promotion of cultural inheritance and innovation.

Summary: This study examines a brand's decision on reselling through a platform by using game-theoretical analysis and big data validation based on transaction-level data from JD.com. The study finds that the platform's channel advantage and high logistics service level encourage brands to choose the reselling mode, and the impact of the platform's private label competition is non-monotonic.

Summary: This study examines the impact of consumers' valuation updating on optimal pricing decisions and market structure in a competitive software market. The results show that with consumers' valuation updating, the incumbent can maximize profits through market segmentation, dominance, or entry deterrence strategies, and is willing to share the market with the entrant, achieving a win-win situation.

Summary: This paper introduces a method to handle multiple compatible value functions in multi-criteria decision making by building a probability distribution. Stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis provides statistical information based on the decision maker's preferences. Extensive simulations and sensitivity analysis have been conducted to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

Summary: This study examined the emotional and behavioral responses of respondents to video treatments that presented different outcomes for coral reef health. The findings showed that videos with equal proportions of threat and reassurance stimulated higher arousal, leading to increased intent to donate for coral reef restoration. The presence of higher proportions of threat in video messaging also induced negative affectivity, which was associated with higher stated donations. Respondents who had taken vacations in coral reef destinations were more aroused by the videos and stated higher donations compared to those who had not. The emotional responses to fear-appeal videos were influenced by PMT antecedents such as threat-appraisal, coping-appraisal, and response-costs.

Summary: This study investigates the challenges in transferring knowledge from MNC hotels to subsidiaries through the lens of absorptive capacity. Factors such as competencies, experience, historical background, limited opportunities, cultural discord, and communication barriers were found to influence different stages of knowledge transfer. The findings highlight the significant impact of a country's historical experience on absorptive capacity.

Summary: The lack of tourism-specific tacit knowledge can hinder the participation of locals in rural tourism development. This study explores how tacit knowledge transfer can be facilitated to enhance locals' capabilities. It finds that experienced migrant workers can provide tourism-specific tacit knowledge, but the lack of knowledge-related transaction activities and trust between different groups leads to fragmented and ineffective knowledge transfer. The study also demonstrates that an influential third party can promote tacit knowledge transfer by handling transaction costs, initiating transfer plans, and coordinating relationships among participants.

Summary: This study examines the double-edged sword effect of enterprise social media (ESM) by investigating the impact of ESM technostressors on hospitality employees' post-adoption behaviors. Findings suggest that persistence, work connectivity, and visibility of ESM promote routine use and innovative use behaviors, while role conflict and emotion interruption of ESM negatively influence routine use. Management support can mitigate the negative impacts of ESM technostressors.

Summary: Performance evaluation is crucial for managing and allocating resources in higher education institutions (HEIs) and guiding their development. However, the issue of academic misconduct (AM) as an undesirable output in research assessments is often overlooked. This study proposes incorporating AM into the evaluation system and finds that it plays an increasingly prominent role in research efficiency evaluation of HEIs.

Summary: Live stream channel introduction can expand consumer awareness and resolve valuation uncertainty. However, it may also lead to consumer freeriding. The equilibrium strategy depends on the commission rate and mismatch cost. In the symmetric products case, a moderate high mismatch cost leads to both retailers introducing the live stream channel. In the asymmetric products case, the retailer of the high-fit product is more likely to introduce the live stream channel.
