摘要：The popular press has long used the terms single-sourcing and multisourcing (also known as best of breed) to describe organizations' sourcing strategies. Whereas there is an implicit understanding of these terms, no research has quantified what distinguishes one sourcing configuration from another or what institutional factors contribute to the pursuit of one strategy over the other. We leverage institutional theory to examine how key organizational antecedents such as strategic orientation (m...

摘要：This paper presents an empirical study of changes that firms implement in their board-level IT governance (ITG) upon experiencing operational IT failures. Consistent with the separation of oversight from management decisions, board-level ITG is responsible for monitoring managerial IT decisions and policies for controlling IT resources. We expect that operational IT failures indicating inadequacies in board monitoring of controls over IT resources would result in a negative stock market reacti...

摘要：This paper seeks to develop a better understanding of job performance in the context of a knowledge management system (KMS) implementation. This work adopts the context theorizing approach that informs the conceptualization of KMS use and identification of contingency factors. Specifically, the literature on rich system use is adapted to develop the construct in the context of a KMS. The literature related to task, system, user, and leadership is also drawn upon to identify four contingency-fa...

摘要：An ongoing conversation in the Information Systems literature addresses the concern, How can we conduct research that makes a difference? A shortage of high-impact research will, over time, challenge the identity and weaken the viability of IS as an academic discipline. This paper presents the systematic high-impact research model (SHIR), an approach to conducting high-impact research. SHIR embodies the insight gained from three streams of high-impact research programs spanning more than 50 ye...

摘要：Digital ventures, start-ups growing by drawing on and adding to digital infrastructures, can scale their business at an unprecedented pace. We view such rapid scaling as a generative process by which a venture's user base increases significantly between two points in time through digital innovation. We studied WeCash, a Chinese digital venture, nearly doubling its user base monthly, to learn more about this generative process. We trace three contingent mechanisms underpinning rapid scaling: da...

摘要：Navigation structure and user familiarity are critical for user satisfaction, yet the mediating mechanisms by which they affect satisfaction remain unclear, especially from a cognitive perspective. To extend understanding of the drivers of user satisfaction with a website, this study focuses on the mediating roles of cognitive load and performance outcomes (in the form of efficiency and accuracy) according to a cognitive cost-benefit framework and cognitive load theory. The hypotheses were tes...

摘要：Information systems researchers have drawn on the resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capabilities theory to offer a sharper theoretical lens to study the impact of information technology (IT) enabled capabilities on organizational performance. In this study, we propose a new conceptualization of IT-enabled production capability, based on the ability of a manufacturing plant to use its mix of resource inputs to maximize its process outputs. Our approach extends the literature on firm capabil...

摘要：This study examines how social network integration (i.e., integration of online platforms with other social media services, for example, with Facebook or Twitter) can affect the characteristics of user-generated content (volume and linguistic features) in the context of online reviews. Building on the social presence theory, we propose a number of hypotheses on how social network integration affects review volume and linguistic features of review text. We consider two natural experiments at le...

摘要：Gamification, an emerging idea for using game design elements and principles to make everyday tasks more engaging, is permeating many different types of information systems. Excitement surrounding gamification results from its many potential organizational benefits. However, few research and design guidelines exist regarding gamified information systems. We therefore write this commentary to call upon information systems scholars to investigate the design and use of gamified information system...

摘要：Online retailing is dominated by a channel structure in which a retailer either buys products from competing manufacturers and resells to consumers (wholesale scheme) or lets manufacturers sell directly to consumers on its platform for a commission (platform scheme). Easy access to publicly available third-party information such as product reviews that facilitate consumers' purchase decisions is another distinctive and ubiquitous characteristic of online retailing. We show that retailers can u...
