摘要：Multisided platforms often pursue growth strategies of expanding participants on one side (e.g., suppliers) and leveraging the cross-side network effect to attract participants on other sides (e.g., consumers). Whereas formal contractual agreements have traditionally been the norm for onboarding suppliers, an emerging trend involves platforms enabling consumers to interact with noncontracted suppliers via third-party enablers with both sharing profits from providing complementary services. Thi...

摘要：Amid the growing importance of information technology (IT) in the business landscape, the pivotal role of IT knowledge on the demand side of the labor market, at both industry and firm levels, is well documented. However, the important labor supply side concerning IT workers has remained largely unknown. This raises challenges about how IT professionals should strategically cultivate their IT knowledge structures toward a sustainable, well-compensated career path. This paper bridges this gap b...

摘要：Gamification has been widely adopted to engage users in various domains. To improve the effectiveness of gamification systems, we propose a generic framework to design and fine-tune a gamification system. Our study focuses on a badge system and considers three major design elements, namely, volume (the number of badges), variety (the number of badge categories), and valence (high-tier badges). We characterize the dynamics of user-system interactions on Stack Overflow and conduct policy experim...

摘要：Management information systems (MIS) are increasingly used in all types of workplaces. Although they may be introduced to enhance productivity and performance, they frequently fail to live up to these expectations in practice. In this study, we develop a theoretical model based on the theory of effective MIS use and on the transparency paradox to explain how different facets of performance transparency shape the relationship between MIS use and employee work performance. This model acknowledge...

摘要：Over the last two decades, online crowdfunding platforms have facilitated fun- draising efforts to alleviate resource shortages across various sectors. As these platforms become increasingly important channels for bottom-up resource mobilization, it is essential to understand their vulnerability to shifts in public perception caused by top-down, off- platform events. In this paper, we examine the effect of an important top-down factor, leg- islative signals, on online giving behavior in the co...

摘要：The abundance of consumer data has given rise to a new data broker industry that plays a pivotal role in targeted advertising. Many publishers rely on data brokers to gain (i) individual insights drawn from their own data or (ii) collective insights drawn from both their data and those of their competitors, thus improving their targeting capabilities. As data brokers control large volumes of data, they can govern how data insights are sold to downstream publishers. Despite their importance, pr...

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...

摘要：Previous studies have investigated how various factors influence prosocial microlending decisions under normal circumstances. Nevertheless, a natural disaster may result in a situation where lenders can hardly find appropriate loans from the disaster-affected region. When faced with the mismatch between the supply and demand of microloans, lenders can either simply choose not to make any contributions or divert their prosocial intentions toward a different group of beneficiaries. Drawing on th...

摘要：Digital platforms can increase product variety and consumer choice by facilitating the discovery and availability of new products. In this paper, we document the massive growth of new products on the largest digital platform in China and quantify the welfare implications for consumers. Using sales data on three categories of books from 2015 and 2019, we find that the number of product titles almost doubles, whereas prices fall somewhat. Most of the new products are niche products sold to consu...
