摘要:Pursuing social justice through doxing on social media is an emergent phenomenon in digital activism. During the 2019 Hong Kong protests, doxing was a popular practice by protestors seeking social justice for alleged police violence. The protestors attempted to hold officers accountable for perceived wrongdoings by disseminating the private information of the officers (and their families) using the keyword Dadfindboy on social media. To illustrate the intersection of digital technologies and s...

摘要:We study the development of two open source software (OSS) web frameworks to understand how OSS communities shape software novelty and complexity in the absence of strong organizational hierarchies. We examine how projects engage in distinct discursive modulation practices to imprint the community's shared core doctrines and design principles onto the software thereby shaping its novelty and complexity. We borrow the concept of modulation from audio synthesis to explain how a preexisting signa...

摘要:The rise of the internet has upended numerous industries, but none more so than news production. The connectivity fostered by digitization has been accompanied by the emergence of content aggregation, the proliferation of fake news, and the extended geographic reach of industry leaders, all of which have served to hollow out local reporting capacity. In this work, we examine the result of changes wrought by the internet on an outcome of theoretical and practical significance: corruption. Inasm...

摘要:We study how Apple and independent repair service providers used different physical, regulatory, and digital instruments to influence each other's abilities to control the repair aftermarket of the Apple iPhone between 2007 and 2020. We show how the emergence of digital instruments for enacting control, made possible through emerging functionality for tethering, encryption, and temporary binding implemented in the iPhone itself, was shaped by and shaped the actions of Apple and the independent...

摘要:Information technology (IT) professionals play a critical role in digital transformation, innovation, and entrepreneurship, contributing to significant economic growth. The use of temporary work visas and related immigration policies has attracted significant controversy and policy debates in developed nations. On the one hand, foreign IT professionals can complement domestic IT professionals by bringing new skills and knowledge, which benefit domestic workers. On the other hand, foreign IT pr...

摘要:Online video platforms such as YouTube feature visual cues on progress bars to spotlight standout segments of videos. These cues, designed to steer users toward intriguing content moments, raise questions about their overarching impact on video consumption patterns. In this study, we delve into in- consumption information cues (ICICs), indicators that depict fluctuating video quality in real time. Drawing from a natural experiment on a live streaming platform, we evaluate the effects of engage...

摘要:Small-scale farmers often suffer from poverty due to their dependence on unjust practices in global supply chains. On-farm training could help them address this, but it often lacks scalability and reach. Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) can tackle this issue but risks creating secondary injustices, such as epistemic injustice, by neglecting marginalized users' unique needs, knowledge, and local context. This case study analyzes the process of co-designing a digital peer training model for ma...

摘要:Online knowledge communities (OKCs), such as question-and-answer sites, have become increasingly popular venues for knowledge sharing. Accordingly, it is necessary for researchers and practitioners to develop effective and efficient text analysis tools to understand the massive amount of user-generated content (UGC) on OKCs. Unsupervised topic modeling has been widely adopted to extract human- interpretable latent topics embedded in texts. These identified topics can be further used in subsequ...

摘要:Digital strategic posture (DSP) is defined as a firm's overall strategic stance toward investing in information technology (IT) initiatives relative to that of rival firms. This study examines how a firm's DSP affects firm performance. Drawing on the competitive dynamics perspective and contingency view, we demonstrate that DSP influences competitive actions through dual pathways. First, DSP enables firms to take competitive actions that are more appropriate given the level of environmental un...

摘要:Is there an economic incentive for celebrities and well-known media firms to commingle falsehoods into news stories? We conducted five experiments, plus a field validation using secondary data. When presented by celebrities and well-known media firms, a commingled partisan falsehood in an otherwise true news story significantly increased viewing and sharing intentions among politically aligned viewers. The effect was weaker but significant when we replaced the celebrity with an unknown speaker...
