摘要:Crowdfunding aims to collect small investments from a large number of backers to support a project by fundraisers. Although uncertainty has been an important issue in the reward-based crowdfunding literature, there is limited research on how backers respond to probabilistic uncertain rewards. This study examines how backers respond to the lottery-a type of uncertain reward-and how their motivations may shape their responses to probabilistic uncertain rewards. We hypothesize (1) how backers res...

摘要:Goals are the prism through which actors perceive the affordances of technological artifacts. Yet, personal goals have not been differentiated conceptually, and the learning mechanism through which they shape individuals' perception of affordances has not been examined. This paper addresses these gaps theoretically and empirically. Drawing on achievement goal theory, we conceptualize information technology (IT) affordances as goaloriented learning outcomes. We then develop a research model tha...

摘要:We study platform firms' decision to recognize innovation by complementors ex post through awards. Despite being purely symbolic, awards might set incentives for complementors' product strategies that can eventually lead to both desirable and undesirable outcomes for the platform firm. We depart from signaling theory and derive hypotheses on the effects of awards on complementors' product strategies. To test them, we implement a quasi experiment in the context of the Google Android mobile plat...

摘要:Organizational information security (ISec) threats have exploded with advances in globalization and technology. Thus, organizations are scrambling to find both technical and behavioral approaches to shore up security. Whereas security technologies are crucial to these efforts, they are often rendered useless by employees' misunderstanding, carelessness, or deliberate disregard of ISec polices (ISPs). Accordingly, organizations are increasingly seeking ways to encourage employees to work as sec...

摘要:Microtask crowdsourcing has emerged as a cost-effective approach for obtaining large-scale labeled data. Crowdsourcing platforms, such as MTurk, provide an online marketplace where task requesters can submit a batch of microtasks for a crowd of workers to complete for a small monetary compensation. As the information collected from a crowd can be prone to errors, additional algorithmic techniques are needed to infer the ground truth labels from noisy annotations by workers with heterogeneous q...

摘要:In the extant theoretical discourse on sociotechnical systems, the relationships between inputs and outputs of technologies are assumed to be knowable to human agents, occasionally ex ante and always ex post. Recently, a new breed of autonomous tools has emerged, which can independently learn and execute novel actions. The input-output relationships of these tools, however, are unknowable to human agents both ex ante and ex post. This calls for analysis of how humans experience the enactment o...

摘要:Sexual assault is one of the most repellant and costly crimes, which inflicts irrecoverable harms on victims and society. This study examines the effect of information technology (IT)-enabled ride-sharing platforms on sexual assaults. Drawing upon routine activity theory from the criminology literature, we posit that ride-sharing can reduce a passenger's risk of being a suitable target of sexual assault by providing a more reliable and timely transportation option for traveling to a safer plac...

摘要:Building on the distinction between search and experience goods, as well as vertical and horizontal differentiation, we propose a set of theory-grounded, data-driven measures that allow us to measure not only product type (search vs. experience, horizontal vs. vertical differentiation) but also sources of uncertainty and to what extent consumer reviews help resolve uncertainty. The proposed measures have two advantages over prior methods: (1) unlike prior categorization schemes that classified...

摘要:Business models that provide access to assets rather than transfer ownership of goods have become an important industry trend, representing a challenge for incumbent firms. This paper analyzes the interaction of a peer-to-peer (P2P) rental market and a manufacturer of durable goods, and highlights the important role of consumer heterogeneity in usage rates in determining which business model would be preferred by the manufacturer. The introduction of a P2P rental market creates an equalizing e...
