摘要：Crowdfunding has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional funding, wherein project owners use web technologies to fundraise from members of the public (backers). The established models of control do not work for this new way of performing systems development, because of the number and diversity of controllers, the restriction of interaction to public online discourse, and the absence of defined hierarchical power structures. This study performs a critical discourse analysis of public on...

摘要：We investigate changes to the value that individuals place on the online disclosure of their private information in the presence of multiple privacy factors. We use an incentive-compatible mechanism to capture individuals' willingness-to-accept (WTA) for a privacy disclosure in a series of three randomized experiments. Each experiment manipulates characteristics of a required privacy disclosure by altering the information context, the intended secondary use of the disclosed private information...

摘要：To benefit from the wisdom of the crowd in ideation contests, seekers should understand how their involvement affects solvers' ideation and the ensuing ideas. This present study addresses this need by examining the antecedents and consequences of solvers' exemplar adoption (i.e., use of solution exemplars that the seekers provide) in such contests. We theorize how the characteristics of seekers' exemplars (specifically, quantity and variability) and prizes jointly influence exemplar adoption. ...

摘要：The perceived integrity of online product recommendation agents (RAs) becomes a critical trust concern when RAs apply sponsorship practices and recommend products biased toward sponsored products. Sponsorship disclosure is enforced by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, but many technologies fail to comply, probably because of their concerns about users' trust in the biased technologies. By applying the theoretical perspectives of psychological contract violation and knowledge-based trust, we i...

摘要：This paper examines the dynamic consumption behavior of individual mobile data users by employing a unique data set on individual-level daily usage over multiple months. Whether and which individual mobile data users are forward looking by dynamically balancing present and future usage and how to design profitable promotions targeting these users are questions of both academic and managerial interest. By developing a dynamic structural model and formally proving its theoretical properties, we ...

摘要：We develop efficient computational strategies for the inventory liquidation problem, which is characterized by a retailer disposing of a fixed amount of inventory over a period of time. Liquidating end-of-cycle products optimally represents a challenging problem owing to its inherent stochasticity. The growing scale of liquidation problems further increases the need for solutions that are revenue- and time-efficient. We propose to address the inventory liquidation problem by deriving determini...

摘要：Fraud, waste, and abuse are significant problems in major industries such as healthcare, particularly when third-party payers such as Medicare are involved. Auditors looking for fraudulent activities use scoring models to select practitioners or claims that are likely to be fraudulent. In addition to the direct benefits of the audit effect, which evokes a response by auditing fraudulent individuals, the sentinel effect provides second-order benefits. Yet current auditing algorithms do not take...

摘要：We study the efficiency of bilateral liability-based contracts in managed security services (MSSs). We model MSS as a collaborative service with the protection quality shaped by the contribution of both the service provider and the client. We adopt the negligence concept from the legal profession to design two novel contracts: threshold-based liability contract and variable liability contract. We find that they can achieve the first best outcome when postbreach effort verification is feasible....

摘要：The threats of new entry by startups in the fast-moving information technology (IT) industry have important implications for firm decision making. Although analytical work on the strategic responses to new entry threats (NETs) through preemptive research and development (R&D) has produced contradictory predictions, empirical analysis of this relationship is limited, largely because of the absence of a reasonable measure. In this work, we make two contributions. First, we develop and validate a...

摘要：Although significant research has examined the effect of enterprise information systems on the behavior and careers of employees, the majority of this work has been devoted to the study of blue- and gray-collar workers, with little attention paid to the transformative effect information technology may have on high-status professionals. In this paper, we begin to bridge this gap by examining how highly skilled professionals react to the increasing presence of enterprise systems within their org...
