摘要：Intelligent systems (IntelSys) are transforming the nature of work as humans and machines collectively perform tasks in novel ways. Although intelligent systems empower employees with algorithm-generated knowledge, they require employees to adapt how they work to enhance their job performance. We draw on the coping-adaptation framework as the overarching theoretical lens to explain how employees' perceptions of IntelSys knowledge as an empowering external coping resource affect the mechanisms ...

摘要：Pay-what-you-want (PWYW) pricing is a pricing scheme under which buyers pay any amount for a product, often including zero. Digital product firms may particularly benefit fromPWYWpricing because it can be utilized as an alternative to their costly piracy prevention efforts. In this paper, we examine PWYW pricing based on the established social preference theory where consumers may be concerned with how fairly they are being treated by firms. Utilizing a two-segment model for consumers (self-in...

摘要：Although enjoying rapid development, online lending also endures some unusual risk, that is, platform risk. As prior research on default risk evaluation in online lending largely focuses on the micro listing level, we advocate a new research problem at the macro platform level, platform risk evaluation, and explore types of information and methods that are effective in predicting platform risk. We identify four types of information, that is, platform characteristic, risk management, commercial...

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：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：This study examines the impact of technological acquisitions on contributions to firm-sponsored community-based open-source software (OSS). We distinguish between internal contributors affiliated with target firms and external contributors from the community, and examine how they respond to technological acquisitions differently. Theoretically, we examine how technological acquisition influences contributors' uncertainty about project quality through a signaling effect and influences their unc...
