• Sponsored Search and Market Efficiency AI翻译

  摘要：Sponsored search is the mechanism whereby advertisers pay a fee to Internet search engines to be displayed alongside organic (nonsponsored) web search results. Based on prior literature, we draw an analogy between these markets and financial markets. We use the analogy as well as the key differences to present a theoretical framework consisting of a set of research questions about the pricing of keywords and design choices available to firms in sponsored search markets. These questions define ...
• The Role of Organizational Controls and Boundary Spanning in Software Development Outsourcing: Implications for Project Performance AI翻译
  作者：Gopal, Anandasivam; Gosain, Sanjay

  摘要：Past research has studied how the selection and use of control portfolios in software projects is based on environmental and task characteristics. However, little research has examined the consequences of control mode choices on project performance. This paper reports on a study that addresses this issue in the context of outsourced software projects. In addition, we propose that boundary-spanning activities between the vendor and the client enable knowledge sharing across organizational and k...
• Digital Natives and Ubiquitous Information Systems AI翻译

  摘要：Most information systems research until now has focused on information systems in organizations and their use by digital immigrants. Digital immigrants are those who were not born into the digital world-they learnt to use information systems at some stage in their adult lives. An underlying assumption of much of this research is that users resist technology or at least have some difficulty in accepting it. Digital natives, conversely, are those who have grown up in a world where the use of inf...
• Does Technological Progress Alter the Nature of Information Technology as a Production Input? New Evidence and New Results AI翻译

  摘要：Prior research at the firm level finds information technology (IT) to be a net substitute for both labor and non-IT capital inputs. However, it is unclear whether these results hold, given recent IT innovations and continued price declines. In this study we extend prior research to examine whether these input relationships have evolved over time. First, we introduce new price indexes to account for varying technological progress across different types of IT hardware. Second, we use the rental ...
• Toward a Causal Interpretation from Observational Data: A New Bayesian Networks Method for Structural Models with Latent Variables AI翻译
  作者：Zheng, Zhiqiang (Eric); Pavlou, Paul A.

  摘要：Because a fundamental attribute of a good theory is causality, the information systems (IS) literature has strived to infer causality from empirical data, typically seeking causal interpretations from longitudinal, experimental, and panel data that include time precedence. However, such data are not always obtainable and observational (cross-sectional, nonexperimental) data are often the only data available. To infer causality from observational data that are common in empirical IS research, t...
• Competing in Crowded Markets: Multimarket Contact and the Nature of Competition in the Enterprise Systems Software Industry AI翻译

  摘要：As more and more firms seek to digitize their business processes and develop new digital capabilities, the enterprise systems software (ESS) has emerged as a significant industry. ESS firms offer software components (e. g., ERP, CRM, Marketing analytics) to shape their clients' digitization strategies. With rapid rates of technological and market innovation, the ESS industry consists of several horizontal markets that form around these components. As numerous vendors compete with each other wi...
• Information Transparency in Business-to-Consumer Markets: Concepts, Framework, and Research Agenda AI翻译

  摘要：The Internet has brought about significant changes in the availability of market information in many industries. E-commerce technologies provide sellers with opportunities to design electronic mercantile mechanisms that reveal, conceal, bias, and distort market information, depending on their goals and market position (e.g., suppliers versus intermediaries). In particular, in information-intensive industries where electronic markets play an important role, many firms are using advanced technol...
• Contractual Provisions to Mitigate Holdup: Evidence from Information Technology Outsourcing AI翻译

  摘要：T he complexity and scope of outsourced information technology (IT) demands relationship-specific investments from vendors, which, when combined with contract incompleteness, may result in underinvestment and inefficient bargaining, referred to as the holdup problem. Using a unique data set of over 100 IT outsourcing contracts, we examine whether contract extensiveness, i.e., the extent to which firms and vendors can foresee contingencies when designing contracts for outsourced IT services, ca...
• Complementarities in the Diffusion of Personal Computers and the Internet: Implications for the Global Digital Divide AI翻译

  摘要：This paper studies the cross-country diffusion of personal computers (PCs) and the Internet, and examines how the diffusive interactions across these technologies affect the evolution of the global digital divide. We adopt a generalized diffusion model that incorporates the impact of one technology's installed base on the diffusion of the other technology. We estimate the model on data from 26 developing and developed countries between 1991 and 2005. We find that the codiffusion effects betwee...
• Platform Evolution: Coevolution of Platform Architecture, Governance, and Environmental Dynamics AI翻译

  摘要：The emergence of software-based platforms is shifting competition toward platform-centric ecosystems, although this phenomenon has not received much attention in information systems research. Our premise is that the coevolution of the design, governance, and environmental dynamics of such ecosystems influences how they evolve. We present a framework for understanding platform-based ecosystems and discuss five broad research questions that present significant research opportunities for contribu...
