摘要：This research examines the role of perceived anonymity in shaping herding behavior in online crowdfunding markets. Drawing on theories from social psychology literature, we argue that a lender forms different credibility perceptions toward preceding peers based on their perceived anonymity state; the lender then uses such perceptions to adjust the lender's herding momentum toward them. Using data collected from a leading debt-based crowdfunding platform, we classify an individual's username as...

摘要：This paper provides a novel theoretical angle and robust empirical evidence demonstrating that the auction duration and item description length are two essential auction design parameters that can function as a screening mechanism for bidder quality on online service outsourcing platforms. These outsourcing platforms use buyer-determined reverse auctions to find providers of services (primarily IT services). Using data from a major online outsourcing platform that connects buyers with bidders,...

摘要：Intelligent systems (IntelSys) are transforming the nature of work as humans and machines collectively perform tasks in novel ways. Although intelligent systems empower employees with algorithm-generated knowledge, they require employees to adapt how they work to enhance their job performance. We draw on the coping-adaptation framework as the overarching theoretical lens to explain how employees' perceptions of IntelSys knowledge as an empowering external coping resource affect the mechanisms ...

摘要：Pay-what-you-want (PWYW) pricing is a pricing scheme under which buyers pay any amount for a product, often including zero. Digital product firms may particularly benefit fromPWYWpricing because it can be utilized as an alternative to their costly piracy prevention efforts. In this paper, we examine PWYW pricing based on the established social preference theory where consumers may be concerned with how fairly they are being treated by firms. Utilizing a two-segment model for consumers (self-in...

摘要：Scholarship on digital transformation has centered on how waves of digitalization have moved through industries, producing strategic changes within and across firms and enabling new forms of value creation. In this paper, we argue that different but no less important processes of digital transformation are generated by the undertow produced by these waves. This digital undertow, a corollary effect of waves of digitalization, profoundly influences how firms operate by transforming the industry ...

摘要：Despite known advantages of combinatorial auctions, wide adoption of this allocation mechanism, especially in consumer-oriented marketplaces, is limited partially by the lack of effective bidder support information that can assist bidders tomake bidding decisions. In this paper, we study the bidder support problem for general multi-item multiunit (MIMU) combinatorial auctions, where multiple heterogeneous items are being auctioned and multiple homogeneous units are available for each item. Spe...

摘要：How do recommender systems induce consumers to buy? Extant research neglects to examine the causal paths through which the use of recommender systems leads to consumer purchases. In this study, we conduct a randomized controlled field experiment on the website of an online book retailer and explore the causal paths by employing the recently developed causal mediation approach. Not surprisingly, the results show that the presence of personalized recommendations increases consumers' propensity t...

摘要：Firms are increasingly adopting different sales channels to reach new potential buyers. Yet, extant research has mainly focused on business-to-customer (B2C) online and offline posted price channels. Business-to-business (B2B) multichannel and, especially, systems with multiple pricing mechanisms are largely underexplored. This paper investigates the strategic behaviors of B2B buyers in a unique system where an online posted price channel is incorporated into a Dutch auction market sequentiall...

摘要：Despite the predominant view in the agile information systems development (ISD) literature that agile information systems development practices use (AISDPU) has positive ramifications for ISD teams and projects, previous research has paid considerably less attention to whether and how these practices can be simultaneously beneficial and burdensome to individual developers. In addition, much of our knowledge on AISDPU and its effects relies on research into the differences between developers ov...
