摘要：Online sales of limited inventory such as flash sales and lightning deals have become popular among e-commerce retailers including Amazon and eBay. Motivated by empirical studies on how inventory information affects demand in flash sales, we study the retailer's best timing of disclosing inventory information to maximize the expected sales in a finite horizon. We build a model of customers' utility within a Bayesian updating framework to capture the observational learning and scarcity effects ...

摘要：The rapid growth of digital platforms and online commerce has generated vast amounts of proprietary data that firms increasingly seek to monetize. Sellers face two fundamental choices: whether to provide access exclusively to a single buyer or nonexclusively to multiple buyers, and whether to sell stand-alone data or offer a data product that integrates data with analytics services. Buyers, in turn, must decide how to structure negotiations-separately with the seller and the consultant, or wit...

摘要：This study explores consumers' footprints on a multichannel e-commerce platform to model their multichannel sequential search (MSS) behaviors. We develop a novel search model that characterizes consumers' MSS behaviors as a threefold sequential search process consisting of cross-channel, cross-product, and cross-page searches, where consumers dynamically update their cross-channel reference prices along their search journeys. The evolving cross-channel reference price effect reshapes the attra...

摘要：Online reading platforms increasingly adopt a by-chapter purchase model and embed novel in-chapter commenting functions to alleviate consumer uncertainty about the quality of digital books. This study examines how these platform designs influence consumer learning and purchasing behavior. We develop a Bayesian learning model that captures how consumers form and update beliefs about book quality using both their own consumption experience and indirect signals derived from prior readers' in-chap...

摘要：The success of a blockchain venture critically hinges on the contribution of blockchain developers. Blockchain ventures are typically developed as open-source projects, where some developers contribute voluntarily, whereas others are incentivized by token rewards to participate. We examine whether such token incentives are effective in motivating developers to contribute, in a market teeming with opportunistic activities. To address this question, we leverage a unique setting where token incen...

摘要：Digital technologies hold immense potential for enhancing collaboration and teamwork. Collective-level efficacy, or the collective belief in the ability to collaborate effectively, is a crucial factor influencing traditional team performance that is now being explored in the context of digitally enabled virtual teams. However, despite the idiosyncratic challenges of virtual teams, researchers studying collective-level efficacy's effects tend to directly apply traditional team concepts, which d...

摘要：Silence as a system behavior has evaded attention in information systems (IS) discourse, where interaction predominates. It merits examination as systems grow brittle, brute-force countermeasures falter, and autonomous systems risk misbehaving. We conceptualize silence as dynamic system-wide behavior, theorizing how it drives IS generativity by coalescing developers' attention on temporally shifting slivers of a system's codebase. Using a supercomputer-scale model, we analyzed nearly 20 millio...

摘要：The mechanism for data traffic pricing critically impacts the content provision decisions of data-intensive applications. We analyze the implications of sponsored data services on content quality, the profits of content providers (CPs) and Internet service providers (ISPs), consumer surplus, and social welfare using a game-theoretical model. By endogenizing CPs' content quality decisions, our study reveals the critical role of content production efficiency in determining the optimal mechanism ...

摘要：The rising digitalization of corporations has exposed shareholders to a significant financial downfall if a cyber risk materializes. Consequently, corporations are increasingly expected to disclose more information about these risks. Although such disclosures provide greater transparency into the firms' management of cyber risks and are often viewed favorably, strategy literature suggests they can also shape how shareholders respond to subsequent failures in firms' cyber risk management. As su...

摘要：Despite prior studies on managing the development of software products, it remains unclear which organizational structure is effective in delivering software products to market. In this study, we examine two common approaches to forming software development teams: feature teams that are customer-centric and component teams that are focused on systems architecture. Drawing on the mirroring hypothesis, we propose that feature teams and component teams can mirror the problem space and solution sp...
