摘要：Motivated by the adoption of donation schemes at some leading reward-based crowdfunding platforms, we examine the effect of adding a donation scheme to reward based crowdfunding and explore its underlying mechanisms. This work also helps to fill the knowledge gap on the role of funding schemes. Leveraging an unannounced site change at a leading crowdfunding platform, we estimated the impact of introducing the donation scheme by developing and applying a novel two-step matching and difference i...

摘要：The terms theory and theoretical contributions evoke mixed reactions in the information systems discipline, especially among empirical researchers in the economics of information systems (Econ-IS) area. Although some see such contributions as the raison d'etre for academic scholars engaged in research, others feel that the discipline has developed a fetish for theory, with reviewers and editors often demanding an unreasonable level of theoretical contributions for empirical manuscripts to succ...

摘要：The use of digital contact tracing (DCT) during the COVID-19 pandemic serves as a prime example of how government agencies and public authorities are leveraging information technologies to address complex societal challenges. However, during the period in which the study was conducted, the rate of voluntary adoption of DCT among individuals in the United States proved to be both low and uneven, falling short of the critical mass required for effective containment of viral transmission. Despite...

摘要：Motivated by the deep transformation of the transportation sector toward electric and shared mobility, this research develops a decision support system that enables real-time allocation of shared electric vehicles (SEVs) to either the rental market or aggregated as a virtual power plant to the electricity market. The multipurposing of SEVs beyond the traditional scope of mobility services can boost utilization and profitability for fleet operators while also facilitating the integration of var...

摘要：Although the impacts of helpful online reviews on customers' purchase decisions and product sales have been widely investigated, review helpfulness has been commonly measured relying on quantitative indicators at the review level. Helpful reviews qualified by such simple indicators, however, may not necessarily yield accurate sales predictions, owing to the ever-evolving review information quality, customer demand, and product attributes. Positing that reviews with higher customer attention sh...

摘要：Prior research has differentiated intrafirm information technology (IT) capabilities that reduce internal coordination costs and interfirm IT capabilities that reduce external transaction costs. However, the influence of developing these capabilities on business value has not been explored in the realm of institutional governance-the regulatory context that defines the rules of the game for firms. We suggest that the value of a firm's investments in different types of IT capabilities developme...

摘要：Extant research has revealed that direct communication between buyers and sellers on digital platforms facilitates transaction completion. However, the understanding of how direct communication influences the matching quality of these two-sided transactions is still limited. This study uses a multimethod approach to provide a perspective on how direct communication contributes to matching quality. In an observational study in the context of a peer-to-peer platform for long-term real estate ren...

摘要：Natural disasters wreak economic havoc and cause financial distress for victims. Commercial loans provided by lending firms play a key role in helping victims recover from disasters. This research note studies whether lenders' use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the lending process can, through reducing delinquency, benefit borrowers who experience natural disasters. Collaborating with a leading credit-scoring company, we track borrowers' loan applications and lenders' use of customized AI ...

摘要：Online professional networks (OPNs) are an increasingly common tool used by recruiters to find and vet qualified job candidates for open positions. These sites allow users to publish recommendations given by other users to supplement their profile information and add credibility to the information provided. OPN recommendations provide a rich source of information to recruiters. Unlike recommendations shared in other ways (non-OPN recommendations), OPN recommendations are publicly accessible, a...

摘要：In the current professional environment, recruiters are using online professional networks at an increasing rate to find qualified candidates for job openings. Online professional recommendations on these sites can provide valuable information; however, because of the medium by which they are provided, their effectiveness may suffer from lower levels of trust. We theoretically conjecture why including a discussion of a candidate's weakness (termed, scope of improvement) can lead to a higher li...
