摘要：Equity crowdfunding campaign overfunding occurs when a campaign generates funds in excess of the funding goal and has hence been touted as the mark of an extraordinarily successful campaign. However, a novel theoretical lens is needed to comprehend funders'enthusiasm in their support of such campaigns. Building on the extant literature on contagion effect, we constructed a research model that posits confidence contagion invoked by confidence cues embedded in campaign materials as a key driver ...

摘要：The increasing popularity of sharing platforms is raising concerns about a lack of information on the demand side: the cost of serving specific buyers is typically unknown to sellers. To mitigate this concern, some platforms, such as Airbnb, have adopted the bilateral review system (BRS), allowing buyers and sellers to rate each other. This differs from the traditional unilateral review system (URS), which allows only buyers to rate sellers. In this study, we examine how these two review syste...

Our work investigates whether in creating more equal opportunities for entrepreneurs to enter the market, crowdfunding platforms also create a more equal distribution of funds across ventures. To this end, we utilized a natural experiment in the form of apolicy change on Kickstarter.com that resulted in opening the market...

摘要：Software firms are increasingly adopting an open source strategy, allowing them to leverage the effort exerted by the open source community toward improving software quality. In addition to embracing a proprietary or fully open source strategy, several firms choose a partial openness strategy wherein only certain parts of the code are open source while the rest is proprietary. Specifically, when adopting a partial openness strategy, a firm may choose to make the core software code open source ...

摘要：Usability the extent to which a system can be operated to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction is a hallmark of many successful systems. Identifying usability concerns with existing measures, however, can be problematic. We use biased competition theory (BCT) to explain how interfaces with low usability create attentional interference, which can be measured through mouse movement efficiency (MME). We tested our hypotheses in four studies. Study 1 manipulates...
