摘要：Online health communities are growing rapidly as more individuals seek health information online. Given the importance of doctor engagement, some online health communities have introduced informal payments to doctors to encourage knowledge sharing. This study empirically examines how informal payments in the form of monetary gifts affect doctor engagement. We leverage the launch of a gifting feature by a leading online health community as a natural experiment that exogenously provides doctors ...

摘要：Catastrophe insurance is an important element of disaster management. Yet the historical presence of inequalities in insurance, from redlining to pricing disparity, has had a devastating impact on minority communities. Whereas the fairness of insurance ratemaking is studied in general, we identify a unique challenge for catastrophe insurance that sets it apart from other lines of insurance. Drawing upon the recent advances in machine learning for fair data valuation, we reveal striking connect...

摘要：Many companies use real-time feedback applications to increase employee engagement with their performance evaluation programs and disseminate the results. Yet beyond giving and receiving employee feedback, important dynamics such as feedback seeking behavior and feedback rating are not well addressed in the literature. To fill this gap, we examine employee behavior related to two dimensions of real-time feedback: (i) seeking performance feedback from supervisors, peers, and direct reports and ...

摘要：Digital tracing alerts have emerged as an effective means to share information with agility in responding to disaster outbreaks. Governments are able to instantaneously coordinate the available information to provide information related to the disaster and promote preventive actions. However, despite the opportunities granted by these innovative technologies in managing disasters, privacy concerns can arise regarding how much of individuals' private information should be collected and disclose...

摘要：The productivity of the information technology (IT) industry depends on the supply of high-quality human capital, especially of managers who contribute to operational, finance, sales and marketing, and leadership roles. This study examines the influence of peers on the choice a management student makes to pursue a career in the IT industry. Such a choice may be informed and driven not only by the student's own motivation and ability but also by information gained through peers. Specifically, w...

摘要：This paper uses data from two online shopping platforms to investigate the impact of questions and answers on product sales. This research question is important as online marketplaces are increasingly incorporating questioning and answering (Q&A) capabilities. However, the economic implications of these Q&A capabilities have yet to be explored and discussed in the literature. We use a difference-in-differences approach to empirically examine the effect of questions and answers that exist on on...

摘要：The Century of Disasters refers to the increased frequency, complexity, and magnitude of natural and man-made disasters witnessed in the 21st century: the impact of such disasters is exacerbated by infrastructure vulnerabilities, population growth/urbanization, and a challenging policy landscape. Technology-enabled disaster management (TDM) has an important role to play in the Century of Disasters. We highlight four important trends related to TDM, smart technologies and resilience, digital hu...

摘要：An expanding body of information systems research is adopting a design perspective on artificial intelligence (AI), wherein researchers prescribe solutions to problems using AI approaches rather than describing or explaining AI -related phenomena being studied. In this editorial, we address some of the challenges faced in publishing design research related to AI and articulate viable pathways for publishing such work. More specifically, we highlight six major impediments, use the explosion in ...

摘要：The recent years have witnessed a tremendous increase in Internet advertising, especially location-based advertising on mobile devices. At the same time, search-driven and display advertising on more traditional media such as personal computers continues to be strong. This study examines the interaction between top-of-funnel advertising (e.g., search or display advertising) and bottom-of-funnel advertising (e.g., using a mobile application on a smart phone). We are particularly interested in t...

摘要：Product shipping is an indispensable but costly operation in online retailing. Although several initiatives are underway to reduce the shipping cost, an important innovation is the membership-based free shipping (MFS) program, in which a retail platform that allows third-party sellers to sell their products for a commission bears the shipping costs for purchases made by members who have paid an up-front fee. We identify several strategic impacts of MFS programs that are the key drivers to thei...
