  摘要：Business models that provide access to assets rather than transfer ownership of goods have become an important industry trend, representing a challenge for incumbent firms. This paper analyzes the interaction of a peer-to-peer (P2P) rental market and a manufacturer of durable goods, and highlights the important role of consumer heterogeneity in usage rates in determining which business model would be preferred by the manufacturer. The introduction of a P2P rental market creates an equalizing e...
• Making Digital Innovation Happen: A Chief Information Officer Issue Selling Perspective AI翻译

  摘要：Despite the large amount of touted benefits of digital innovation to contemporary firms, scholarly attention to how digital innovation may take place within an organization is surprisingly limited. Drawing upon issue selling theory, this study examines how chief information officers (CIOs) could lead their organizations' digital innovation initiatives. We propose that the CIO's issue selling effectiveness, rather than his or her structural position, directly influences the level of organizatio...

  摘要：A crowdsourcing contest connects solution seekers to online users who compete with each other to solve the seeker's problem by generating innovative ideas. Knowledge sharing that occurs in such a contest may play an important role in the process of contestants generating high-quality solutions. On the one hand, more knowledge resources may lower the participation cost and help improve crowdsourcing performance. On the other hand, the shared knowledge may also interrupt contestants' independent...
• Learning to Be Creative: A Mutually Exciting Spatiotemporal Point Process Model for Idea Generation in Open Innovation AI翻译
  作者：Aggarwal, Vipul; Hwang, Elina H.; Tan, Yong
  作者单位：University of Washington; University of Washington Seattle
  摘要：This study investigates the creative idea generation process in an open innovation platform. The idea generation process is simultaneously influenced by multiple activities: knowledge acquisition from participants' interactions with each other's ideas, deliberate practice through persistent participation, and learning through failures. Due to the dynamic interplay across these activities, it is challenging to identify each activity's influence on creative ideation outcomes using reduced-form r...
• Standing Up or Standing By: Understanding Bystanders' Proactive Reporting Responses to Social Media Harassment AI翻译

  摘要：Social media harassment, a cyberbullying behavior, poses a serious threat to users and platform owners of social media. A growing body of research suggests involving bystanders in interventions to combat deviant behaviors. In this paper, we contextualize the bystander intervention framework and reporting literature to social media in order to understand why bystanders report social media harassment. Our contextualized intervention framework focuses on three sociotechnical aspects-the online so...
• Leveraging the Numerosity Effect to Influence Perceived Expensiveness of Virtual Items AI翻译
  作者：Huang, Yunhui; Lim, Kai H.; Lin, Zhijie
  作者单位：Nanjing University; City University of Hong Kong; Tsinghua University
  摘要：Selling virtual items (e.g., clothing, weapons, or virtual furniture) serves as one of the major revenue sources for online game operators. Therefore, exploring what specific factors and design attributes may affect the sales of virtual items has become an important issue. This research draws upon prior studies on currency numerosity, contextualizing them to online game contexts to develop several theory-based predictions about how online game currency numerosity affects players' perceived exp...
• Platform Competition Under Network Effects: Piggybacking and Optimal Subsidization AI翻译

  摘要：A repeated challenge in launching a two-sided market platform is how to ignite the cross-side network effects to jump-start adoption. Prior literature often addresses this issue by using pricing controls-a high price on one side to raise the margin and a low price on the other to attract users-or the seesaw principle. More recently, platforms are increasingly embracing nonpricing controls to accelerate user adoptions. Little is known, however, about the role of nonpricing controls and their in...
• Manufacturer's 1-Up from Used Games: Insights from the Secondhand Market for Video Games AI翻译

  摘要：In contrast to industries of other types of information goods, the video game industry still has a sizable secondhand market for games. This is particularly notable because some of the major gaming-console companies (e.g., Sony and Microsoft) actually possess the ability to annihilate the secondhand market altogether; it appears that those companies have given tacit approval to buying and selling used games. Naturally, the question is, what is the special ingredient in the gaming industry that...
• Following the MAP (Methods, Approaches, Perspectives) in Information Systems Research AI翻译
  作者：Levallet, Nadege; Denford, James S.; Chan, Yolande E.

  摘要：Research questions surrounding phenomena in information systems (IS) are growing more complex and less amenable to simple explanations. Although many encourage the use of multiple research methods, we go further, advocating for leveraging research methods, analytic approaches, and theoretical perspectives (coined MAP) to better examine complex IS phenomena. The use of multi-MAPs benefits from the complementarity between different theoretical perspectives, that is, variance, process and systems...
• Show Me the Money: The Economic Impact of Membership-Based Free Shipping Programs on E-Tailers AI翻译

  摘要：This research examines the economic impact of membership-based free-shipping (MFS) programs when introduced as an augmentation to widely accepted contingent free shipping (CFS) policies. Under CFS, consumers waive the shipping surcharge if the order exceeds a certain threshold, whereas under MFS, consumers pay an upfront fee and enjoy the free-shipping perk throughout the membership period. We develop a stylized model that considers consumer heterogeneity in two dimensions: (1) disutility from...
