摘要:A growing number of online retailers have started to mesh their pricing strategies with consumers' social networks. Specifically, they allowconsumers to invite peers fromsocial media to request a discount for their purchases. Inspired by this phenomenon, we propose social pricing, a novel pricing framework underwhich consumerswith higher social capital enjoy a better price. Conceptually, social pricing enables firms to achieve price discrimination based on a consumer's social value. This is in...

摘要:Social media has become a vital platform for voicing product-related experiences that may not only reveal product defects, but also impose pressure on firms to act more promptly than before. This study scrutinizes the rarely studied relationship between these voices and the speed of product recalls in the context of the pharmaceutical industry in which social media pharmacovigilance is becoming increasingly important for the detection of drug safety signals. Using Federal Drug Administration d...

摘要:Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) provide advice to physicians that could save patients' lives, but they could also make physicians feel losing face. Considering the pivotal role of face in social interactions in China, this research attempts to understand Chinese physicians' dilemma of choosing between saving face or saving patients and how this dilemma makes them reluctant to follow CDSS recommendations. Drawing from the dual process theory, we postulate that physicians' resistance to...

摘要:Information technology (IT) outsourcing relationships today are facing increasingly turbulent environments. With rapid changes in technological, commercial, societal, and regulatory landscapes, client firms have to closely and continually assess the desirability and appropriateness, or legitimacy, of their vendors in such dynamic settings. In this research, the focus is on client firms' perceived legitimacy of vendors, termed vendor legitimacy. Specifically, building on institutional theory, v...

摘要:Companies face a trade-off between creating stronger privacy protection policies for consumers and employing more sophisticated data collection methods. Justice-driven privacy protection outlines a method to manage this trade-off. We built on the theoretical lens of justice theory to integrate justice provision with key privacy protection features and conceptualized the extent to which these features affect privacy concerns and information disclosure behavior. Notably, we proposed an informati...

摘要:Teleconsultations allow patients to search for, receive, and pay for medical consultations virtually. With remote diagnosis and treatment capability, teleconsultations have been proposed as a potential solution to the long-standing social problem of geographic disparity in healthcare. Although this sounds promising, unforeseen frictions could suppress the virtual flow of healthcare. It is unclear, then, whether teleconsultations actually mobilize healthcare to underserved regions. To advance o...

摘要:Timely and accurate prediction of human movement in urban areas offers instructive insights into transportation management, public safety, and location-based services, to name a few. Yet, modeling urban mobility is challenging and complex because of the spatiotemporal dynamics of movement behavior and the influence of exogenous factors such as weather, holidays, and local events. In this paper, we use bus transportation as a proxy to mine spatiotemporal travel patterns. We propose a deep-learn...

摘要:We study how investors in peer-to-peer (P2P) lending use their information advantages in decisions on when to place bids. Literature documents that better-informed bidders may withhold bidding until the last moment (i.e., sniping) to avoid competition. We argue that, because a collective effort frominvestors is required in P2P lending, it could be optimal for informed investors to bid early in projects with a low probability of being funded with the purpose of signaling the quality of these pr...

摘要:In this paper, we study an important problem of parsing contextual information from user reviews for recommendation purposes. First, we study the ways contextual information is expressed in user reviews and obtain novel insights about it. Among other things, we demonstrate that such type of information tends to appear at the beginning of the review, in longer sentences, in the sentences written in the past tense or using gerund form, and in the sentences referring to some points in time. Secon...
