• Information system use-related activity: an expanded Behavioral conceptualization of individual-level information system use AI翻译
  作者：Barki, Henri; Titah, Ryad; Boffo, Celine

  摘要：Despite calls for improving current approaches to conceptualizing and measuring the construct of information system use, theoretical advances in this regard are still insufficient. The present paper proposes to expand the focus of existing conceptualizations that exclusively focus on technology interaction behaviors via the construct of IS use-related activity. Based on task-technology fit and activity theory, IS use-related activity is conceptualized as a second-order aggregate construct that...
• Competition among virtual communities and user valuation: The case of investing-related communities AI翻译
  作者：Gu, Bin; Konana, Prabhudev
  作者单位：University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin; Oakland University
  摘要：Virtual communities are a significant source of information for consumers and businesses. This research examines how users value virtual communities and how virtual communities differ in their value propositions. In particular, this research examines the nature of trade-offs between information quantity and quality, and explores the sources of positive and negative externalities in virtual communities. The analyses are based on more than 500,000 postings collected from three large virtual inve...
• Information technologies in business: A blueprint for education and research AI翻译
  作者：Dhar, Vasant; Sundararajan, Arun

  摘要：How are business schools thinking about developing leaders for the emerging digital economy? Is there a set of core principles we can apply to thinking about the enabling potential of information technologies and their consequences for business and society? We present a business-centric framework and a technologycentric framework that together form a blueprint for answering these questions. The business-centric framework articulates three compelling reasons why information technology (IT) matt...
• Is the world flat or spiky? Information intensity, skills, and global service disaggregation AI翻译
  作者：Mithas, Sunil; Whitaker, Jonathan

  摘要：Which service occupations are the most susceptible to global disaggregation? What are the factors and mechanisms that make service occupations amenable to global disaggregation? This research addresses these questions by building on previous work by Apte and Mason (1995) and Rai et al. (2006) that focuses on the unbundling of information and physical flows. We propose a theory of service disaggregation and argue that high information intensity makes an occupation more amenable to disaggregatio...
• Statistical power in analyzing interaction effects: Questioning the advantage of PLS with product indicators AI翻译
  作者：Goodhue, Dale; Lewis, William; Thompson, Ronald

  摘要：A significant amount of information systems (IS) research involves hypothesizing and testing for interaction effects. Chin et al. (2003) completed an extensive experiment using Monte Carlo simulation that compared two different techniques for detecting and estimating such interaction effects: partial least squares (PLS) with a product indicator approach versus multiple regression with summated indicators. By varying the number of indicators for each construct and the sample size, they conclude...
• Product development and pricing strategy for information goods under heterogeneous outside opportunities AI翻译
  作者：Chen, Ying-Ju; Seshadri, Sridhar
  作者单位：New York University
  摘要：This paper considers a two-stage development problem for information goods with costless quality degradation. In our model, a seller of information goods faces customers that are heterogeneous with regard to both the marginal willingness to pay for quality and the outside opportunity. In the development stage, the seller determines the quality limit of the product. In the second stage, the seller's problem is to design the price schedule corresponding to different quality levels, taking into a...
• Decision-centric active learning of binary-outcome models AI翻译
  作者：Saar-Tsechansky, Maytal; Provost, Foster
  作者单位：University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin; New York University
  摘要：It can be expensive to acquire the data required for businesses to employ data-driven predictive modeling-for example, to model consumer preferences to optimize targeting. Prior research has introduced active-learning policies for identifying data that are particularly useful for model induction, with the goal of decreasing the statistical error for a given acquisition cost (error-centric approaches). However, predictive models are used as part of a decision-making process, and costly improvem...
• The performance effects of complementarities between information systems, marketing, manufacturing, and supply chain processes AI翻译
  作者：Bharadwaj, Sundar; Bharadwaj, Anandhi; Bendoly, Elliot
  作者单位：Emory University
  摘要：Manufacturing firms are increasingly using advanced enterprise-level information systems to coordinate and synchronize externally oriented functions such as marketing and supply chain and internally oriented activities such as manufacturing. In this paper, we present a model of manufacturing performance that simultaneously considers the effects of a firm's integrated IS capability in conjunction with interfunctional and interorganizational coordination mechanisms. Consistent with the complemen...
• The digitally enabled extended enterprise in a global economy AI翻译

  摘要：This special issue of Information Systems Research includes six papers that investigate the role of information technology for the management of the extended enterprise in the global economy. These papers contribute to our theoretical and practical understanding of how IT is restructuring occupations and industries and how firms can leverage IT for the management of their supply, production, and logistics and distribution networks.
• Adoption of information technology under network effects AI翻译
  作者：Lee, Deishin; Mendelson, Haim
  作者单位：Harvard University; Stanford University
  摘要：Because information technologies are often characterized by network effects, compatibility is an important issue. Although total network value is maximized when everyone operates in one compatible network, we find that the technology benefits for the users depend on vendor incentives, which are driven by the existence of de facto or de jure standards. In head-to-head competition, customers are better off letting a thousand flowers bloom, fostering fierce competition that results in a de facto ...
