摘要：Economic crises often result in massive job loss. However, although reduced employment has been shown to have many negative consequences for the affected individuals, it may also push them into new activities, such as provision of service to their communities. In this paper, we show how individuals engage in socially useful activities after an increase in unemployment. Specifically we document increased online content generation at Wikipedia, the world's largest user generated knowledge reposi...

摘要：Business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) systems enable firms to analyze data and search for insights that could potentially lead to improved organizational performance. While there is evidence that BI&A systems can improve performance through search, our theoretical understanding of how and under what conditions firms leverage BI&A systems to conduct search is rather limited. In particular, while problemistic search theory posits that performance failures motivate search, how firms respond ...

摘要：Despite the prolitcratiun of studies on sales distributions in e-commerce, little is known about how such a distribution in online markets is affected by the presence of mobile channels, which have become a significant conduit for e-commerce. Using a large transaction data set from a leading e-marketplace in South Korea, this study empirically investigates (1) how the sales distribution in the mobile commerce channel is different from the sales distribution in the traditional personal computer...

摘要：The growing interest in online product reviews for legitimate promotion has been accompanied by an increase in fraudulent reviews. However, beyond algorithms for initial fraud detection, little is known about what review portals should do with fraudulent reviews after detecting them. In this paper, we address this question by studying how consumers respond to potentially fraudulent reviews and how review portals can leverage this knowledge to design better fraud management policies. To do this...

摘要：We analyze the outcomes of two randomized field experiments to study the effect of binge-watching on subscription to video on demand. In both cases, we offered access to subscription VoD (SVoD) to a random set of households for several weeks and used another random set of households as a control group. In both cases, we find that the households that binge-watch TV shows are less likely to pay for SVoD after these free trials. Our results suggest that binge-watchers deplete the content of inter...

摘要：Due to digitization, new mechanisms have emerged for achieving organizational ambidexterity, defined as the ability to pursue both efficiency and flexibility while balancing exploitation and exploration. This study investigates the role of digitization in achieving organizational structural ambidexterity by undertaking both exploitation and exploration simultaneously. Given the complex interdependencies between digitization and multiple intrafirm and interfirm factors in practice, this study a...

摘要：Classifying information search behavior helps tailor recommender systems to individual customers' shopping motives. But how can we identify these motives without requiring users to exert too much effort? Our research goal is to demonstrate that eye tracking can be used at the point of sale to do so. We focus on two frequently investigated shopping motives: goal-directed and exploratory search. To train and test a prediction model, we conducted two eye-tracking experiments in front of supermark...

摘要：Impressions at first glance matter in the digital world in that they could lead to lasting impact on credibility perceptions, usage intention, and user satisfaction. Past studies have found that much of impression formation is affected by visual design-related features. Despite its importance, little is known of how different forms of visual aesthetics (i.e., classical vs. expressive aesthetics) influence web page impression formation. Drawing on impression formation literature and cue utiliza...

摘要：Many consumer electronics devices are sold bundled with unwanted applications-called bloatware-thatprovide an additional revenue stream to device manufacturers but deteriorate the value of purchased devices for consumers. Consumers, in response, find technical means to modify purchased devices-called jailbreaking-to remove those applications, thereby reducing the anticipated bloatware revenue for manufacturers. From the perspective of a monopolistic firm that manufactures a consumer electronic...

摘要：We develop a general agent-based modeling and computational simulation approach to study the impact of various factors on the temporal dynamics of recommender systems' performance. The proposed agent-based simulation approach allows for comprehensive analysis of longitudinal recommender systems performance under a variety of diverse conditions, which typically is not feasible with live real-world systems. We specifically focus on exploring the product consumption strategies and show that, over...
