摘要：The emergence of the sharing economy has provided the market with an untapped wealth of supplies, posing a threat to incumbents. In response to competition from the sharing economy, incumbents must adjust their competitive strategies. In this paper, we focus our investigation on a nascent competitive strategy- consumer opinion manipulation-in the lodging sector of the hospitality industry. We examine two types of opinion manipulations through online reviews: promoting oneself and demoting one'...

摘要：Star and Ruhleder's (1996) influential relational view of infrastructure is usually understood as a relation between technologies and organizational practices. However, a significant part of Star and Ruhleder's original proposal has been overlooked-that infrastructure becomes a home for somebody. In this paper, we give an alternative interpretation of this relational view by focusing on the relation between a person and their infrastructure, rather than on the relation between technologies and...

摘要：Digital platform ecosystems feature interplatform competition. A potential strategy for a platform with market disadvantage is to make itself compatible with competitors to attract multihoming of developers. However, many questions remain unresolved regarding how a platform's compatibility strategy impacts developers' multihoming decisions and subsequent app performance. In this study, we use the context of web browser platforms (i.e., Firefox and Chrome) to investigate how the increase in the...

摘要：We study the potential impact of the legal vulnerability created by ubiquitous information technology (IT) and provide insights into its unintended consequences in a typical healthcare screening context. Screening policies determine the level of care provision (i.e., whether to conduct a test) based on patient risk information. If IT shares risk information with physicians in the testing stage, follow-up decisions may be more accurate. Yet, physicians may also face heightened legal risk from i...

摘要：Online social networks are increasingly being used to conduct commercial activities, and many online social networking platforms allow users to sell products to their online connections. Although extensive research has been conducted on the interactions among buyers within a social network, interactions among sellers have rarely been explored. Using seller data from a company that sells on a major online social networking platform in China, we empirically examine how sellers' efforts and sales...

摘要：Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, are combating the spread of fake news by developing systems that allow their users to report fake news. However, it remains unclear whether these reporting systems that harness the wisdom of the crowd are effective. Notably, concerns have been raised that the popularity of videos may hamper users' reporting of fake news. The persuasive power of videos may render fake news more deceptive and less likely to be reported in practice...

摘要：Although financial fraud detection research has made impressive progress because of advanced machine learning algorithms, constructing features (or attributes) that can effectively signal fraudulent behaviors remains a challenge. In recent years, a new type of fraud has emerged on peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms, where individuals can borrow money from others without a financial intermediary. In these markets, the information asymmetry problem is seriously elevated. Inspired by the fraud ...

摘要：Entitlement has been identified as a potentially valuable employee characteristic in the prediction of computer abuse but has not been studied systematically in the IS domain. We introduce the construct of technological entitlement as the persistent sense of being more deserving of technological resources, uses, and privileges compared to other employees. Adapting a model of general entitlement to the work technology context, we theorize that technological entitlement predicts computer abuse a...
