摘要：Theories of personal branding are built on the idea that each individual should be aware of the persona they present to the world. Nowadays, as social interactions are increasingly shifting to the online arena, users of social platforms are presented with many new opportunities and technology-enabled tools by which they can construct their online personas. A powerful type of tool that has emerged in this ecosystem is the ability to reiterate a friend's activity, that is, to redistribute an exa...

摘要：Improving the state of citizens' health is an urgent priority in many low and middle income countries (LMICs), and health management information systems (HMIS) are widely seen as valuable tools for pursuing this priority. Yet, the potential of HMIS has been difficult to materialize in the LMIC context since routines and practices that work against effective use of HMIS are often deeply embedded in historical institutions and, consequently, are difficult to change. Using a longitudinal case stu...

摘要：There is a substantial body of literature on information technology (IT) outsourcing. However, little is known about employing IT outsourcing to generate innovation. In this paper, we articulate the ex ante as well as ex post contracting challenges that could preclude firms from realizing such business value through outsourcing. We develop and test a model linking innovation in IT outsourcing (process innovation and service innovation) to two complementary solutions to the contractual problems...

摘要：As of 2007, an estimated 62% of individual bankruptcy filings in the United States were a direct result of costs borne from medical treatment following illness or injury, up from 46% in 2001. This pressing issue is only getting worse and is in need of relief. In this work, we consider the potential of a relatively recent, and rapidly growing, phenomenon to mitigate the problem: online crowdfunding for medical expenses, wherein patients reach out to their social network for monetary support via...

摘要：There is substantial knowledge about how individuals and organizations, which we refer to collectively as entities, adopt and use new channels. However, less is known about how this relates to their use of the incumbent channel that the new channel may replace. To address this gap, we examine how entities transition between incumbent and new channels over time, with a particular focus on two temporal factors: when an entity adopts the new channel and how long an entity has used the channels, w...

摘要：Given the ubiquitous and critical role of mobile apps in people's lives as well as the sheer size of the market, developing effective mobile app recommendation methods that can help users locate the apps they desire is critical for both users and platforms. Premised in involvement theory, we propose a novel mobile app recommendation method that integrates both users' download and browsing behaviors for mobile app recommendations, in contrast to existing methods that rely on download behaviors ...

摘要：The sociotechnical perspective is often seen as one of the foundational viewpoints-or an axis of cohesion - for the Information Systems (IS) discipline, contributing to both its distinctiveness and its ability to coherently expand its boundaries. However, our review of papers in the two leading IS journals from 2000 to 2016 suggests that IS research has lost sight of the discipline's sociotechnical character-a character that was widely acknowledged at the discipline's inception. This is a prob...

摘要：Popular knowledge management platforms such as community-based question answering sites (CQAs) and electronic networks of practice (ENPs) rely on accurate quality assessment of user-contributed content to ensure effective knowledge creation and exchange. However, quality assessment is subjective by nature. Based on the politeness theory, we hypothesize that answers written more politely are more likely to be perceived as high quality answers by the question asker due to the low face threat. We...

摘要：Digital music formats and the Internet as a distribution mechanism have fundamentally disrupted the music industry by altering the way music is packaged, distributed, and consumed. This disruptive innovation has come in two stages. First, it enabled music to be purchased as an individual song (digital single) or as an album (digital album) or to be enjoyed without paying for it (unlicensed digital music). More recently, music has become available as a sfreaming service (sfreaming music). Prior...
