摘要：The increasing complexity of sociotechnical phenomena, proliferation of diverse data sources, expanding repertoire of research methods, and broadening multiparadigmatic awareness and competence have spurred a growing interest in multimethod research in the information systems (IS) field. This editorial recognizes and celebrates the value of integrating diverse methods and offers a framework to classify multimethod research using two dimensions: (a) methodological distance-the degree of differe...

摘要：With the increasing value generated by data curation and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) agents that converse and act like human agents, vendor companies in established business-to-business (B2B) relationships increasingly delegate data curation tasks to algorithmic data requesters (ADRs) rather than human data requesters (HDRs). Firms employ these data requesters to email existing customers either to collect new information for improved services (data enrichment) or to update outdate...

摘要：Many online platforms have utilized information technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), to reduce consumers' information search costs and facilitate their decision-making processes. Given the variety of online information, these technologies are often effective in reducing the search cost for only specific information types: a concept we refer to as search cost reduction for partial information. For rational consumers, this can lead to improved decision making. However, consumers do ...

摘要：Digital and information technology (IT) are two concepts that scholars and practitioners use to refer to organizing around technology. Although some consider these concepts synonymous, others consider them distinct. Relatedly, both digital and IT units are increasingly found in many organizations aiming to incorporate digital technologies into their customer offerings and operational processes. This coexistence suggests a qualitative difference in the underpinning logic of organizing around di...

摘要：The ever-changing technology landscape has information systems (IS) researchers constantly facing new phenomena, especially in new settings, that must be understood. To address this challenge, building on calls for contextualization, this commentary complements prior works on contextualization and presents guidance within four general research steps- defining the problem, anchoring to prior research, seeking novelty, and reporting practices-in order to achieve rigorous contextualization. In do...

摘要：Anecdotal evidence suggests that businesses threaten consumers with legal action to suppress negative online reviews, creating a chilling effect that undermines transparency and trust online. Although policymakers increasingly recognize this issue and have taken steps to curb it, academic research exploring the effectiveness of regulatory interventions remains surprisingly scarce. This paper addresses that gap by providing a systematic evaluation of the Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA), a f...

摘要：This study examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in facilitating corporate innovation following a CEO turnover event. Using patent and job posting data, we find that firms with greater AI investment, as measured in the hiring of employees with AI skills, are more successful in explorative innovation after CEO turnover events. Further analyses show that this effect is likely because of the firms with AI investment being better positioned to enable strategic change in innovation by (...

摘要：As social media becomes a dominant channel for news dissemination, publishers are challenged not only to capture attention with headlines but also to sustain engagement with the content. They increasingly adopt storytelling approaches that span traditional and satirical content genres. Yet information systems (IS) research focuses on traditional news headlines and static content features; the effects of storytelling design within and across traditional and satirical news formats remain underex...

摘要：Data have become an important competitive asset, especially for online advertising platforms, leading to the emergence of a new data broker industry. Platforms can partner with data brokers to acquire external data to enhance their targeting capabilities, but this practice has stoked growing consumer privacy concerns. This study develops a gametheoretic model to examine the economic mechanism underlying the partnership between competing platforms and a data broker in a two-sided market. Intere...

摘要：Despite significant progress in understanding how the use of agile practices in teams affects crucial developer outcomes, we still know little about whether the team-enacted use of agile practices (e.g., daily stand-up meetings or pair programming) always aligns with the developer-needed use of such practices. In other words, does incongruence between the team-enacted versus individually needed use of agile practices matter for developer wellbeing? Additionally, how does developers' team feedb...
