摘要：As more businesses are turning to crowdsourcing platforms for solutions to business problems, determining how to manage the sourcing contests based on their objectives has become critically important. Existing research, both theoretical and empirical, studies the impact of a variety of contest and contestant characteristics on the outcomes of these contests. Aside from these static design parameters, a lever organizations (clients) can use to dynamically steer contests toward desirable goals i...

摘要：Ubiquitous mobile technologies have been producing massive swaths of consumer location data, giving rise to an elaborate multibillion-dollar ecosystem. In this ecosystem, some consumers share personal data in exchange for economic benefits, including personalized recommendations; data aggregators curate and monetize data by sharing data with advertisers, and advertisers often utilize such data for location-based marketing. While these various entities can benefit from such data sharing, privac...

摘要：A digital platform (DP) generates value by facilitating direct interactions between two or multiple platform sides. While previous studies have expounded upon how platform sides can be coordinated at a collective level (i.e., by pricing strategy and modular architecture), digital platform owners must not neglect the dynamics within the platform sides and their interactions. Through an in-depth case study of one of the largest e-commerce platforms worldwide, we develop a process model that expl...

摘要：We use high-resolution mobile phone data with geolocation information and propose a novel technical framework to study how social influence propagates within a phone communication network and affects the offline decision to attend a performance event. Our fine-grained data are based on the universe of phone calls made in a European country between January and July 2016. We isolate social influence from observed and latent homophily by taking advantage of the rich spatial-temporal information a...

摘要：Predictive algorithmic scores can significantly impact the lives of assessed individuals by shaping decisions of organizations and institutions that affect them, for example, influencing the hiring prospects of job applicants or the release of defendants on bail. To better protect people and provide them the opportunity to appeal their algorithmic assessments, data privacy advocates and regulators increasingly push for disclosing the scores and their use in decision-making processes to scored ...

摘要：Technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic have catapulted process virtualization across many industries, including healthcare, where telehealth has enabled significant digital transformation of care delivery. Although telehealth has been proposed as a potential solution to improve access to care and restrain runaway healthcare costs, it can increase spending if telehealth use leads to new types of resource utilization. Drawing on the lens of process virtualization theory, we study t...

摘要：We consider a marketplace where a recommender system provider (the firm) offers incentives to acquire prospective consumers by leveraging information that a market intermediary collects about these consumers. We investigate a model of consumer acquisition that incorporates several factors affecting acquisition decisions, including the value that a consumer contributes to the recommender system, the cost of participation to the consumer (e.g., privacy loss), and the value that a consumer can de...

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：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：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...
