  摘要：In social media, a content provider can initiate outgoing ties to other providers to promote their content, thus inviting reciprocal promotion. We investigate how the reciprocation benefit for the initiating provider is affected by homophily and triadic closure, the two major mechanisms of tie formation. Specifically, we examine how the increase in subscribers and viewership of the initiating provider's content attributable to the responding providers' reciprocation is moderated by common ties...
• Talking Up a Storm: How Backers Use Public Discourse to Exert Control in Crowdfunded Systems Development Projects AI翻译
  作者：Gleasure, Rob; Conboy, Kieran; Morgan, Lorraine
  作者单位：Copenhagen Business School
  摘要：Crowdfunding has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional funding, wherein project owners use web technologies to fundraise from members of the public (backers). The established models of control do not work for this new way of performing systems development, because of the number and diversity of controllers, the restriction of interaction to public online discourse, and the absence of defined hierarchical power structures. This study performs a critical discourse analysis of public on...
• The Adaptive Roles of Positive and Negative Emotions in Organizational Insiders' Security-Based Precaution Taking AI翻译

  摘要：Protecting organizational information is a top priority for most firms. This reality, coupled with the fact that organizational insiders control much of their organizations' valuable information, has led both researchers and practitioners to acknowledge the importance of insiders' behavior for information security. Until recently, researchers have employed only a few theories to understand these influences, and this has generated calls for a broadened theoretical repertoire. Given this opportu...
• When Algorithmic Predictions Use Human-Generated Data: A Bias-Aware Classification Algorithm for Breast Cancer Diagnosis AI翻译

  摘要：When algorithms use data generated by human beings, they inherit the errors stemming from human biases, which likely diminishes their performance. We examine the design and value of a bias-aware linear classification algorithm that accounts for bias in input data, using breast cancer diagnosis as our specific setting. In this context, a referring physician makes a follow-up recommendation to a patient based on two inputs: the patient's clinical-risk information and the radiologist's mammogram ...
• Performance Consequences of Information Technology Investments: Implications of Emphasizing New or Current Information Technologies AI翻译

  摘要：Senior executives seek investments in information technology (IT) initiatives that enhance the performance of their firms. They frequently must decide whether to emphasize the adoption of new IT (ENIT) or the maintenance and refinement of current IT (ECIT). This research examines how the combination of ENIT and ECIT with the firm's business strategy affects firm performance at varying levels of organizational commitment to IT (OCIT). Using the resource-based view, we argue that a firm can bene...
• The Strategic Value of Information Technology in Setting Productive Capacity AI翻译
  作者：Zhang, Dawei (David); Nault, Barrie R.; Wei, Xueqi (David)
  作者单位：Lehigh University; University of Calgary; Fudan University
  摘要：Capacity is the maximum short-run output with capital in place under normal operations, and capital investment increases capacity. Excess capacity can be used as an economic strategy for entry deterrence by lowering average costs over a greater range of output, and as an operations strategy by providing value through flexibility to manage demand fluctuations and production disturbances. Our primary focus is to study the way that information technology (IT) can contribute to a strategy of holdi...
• Unraveling the Social in Social Norms: The Conditioning Effect of User Connectivity AI翻译

  摘要：Abundant empirical evidence supports the overall efficacy of social norms as a strategy to induce behavior change. However, very few studies examine how the effect of social norms is differentially manifest across individuals, especially in the contemporary socially connected digital world. We conjecture that the effects of social norms are conditional on an individual's digital social ties and provide new empirical evidence from a randomized field experiment that included more than 7,000 indi...
• Relative Privacy Valuations Under Varying Disclosure Characteristics AI翻译
  作者：Buckman, Joseph R.; Bockstedt, Jesse C.; Hashim, Matthew J.
  作者单位：Kansas State University; Emory University; University of Arizona
  摘要：We investigate changes to the value that individuals place on the online disclosure of their private information in the presence of multiple privacy factors. We use an incentive-compatible mechanism to capture individuals' willingness-to-accept (WTA) for a privacy disclosure in a series of three randomized experiments. Each experiment manipulates characteristics of a required privacy disclosure by altering the information context, the intended secondary use of the disclosed private information...
• When Seeing Helps Believing: The Interactive Effect s of Previews and Reviews on E-Book Purchases AI翻译

  摘要：Online reviews offer consumers the indirect experience of products through others' consumption evaluations, whereas previews afford them direct experience through product trials. Although conceptual and empirical studies on the business ramifications of online reviews abound, little is known about how online previews moderate the effects of online reviews on sales. To cast light on this issue, the current research investigated the interactive effects of exposure to online previews and reviews ...
• A Dynamic Model of Embeddedness in Digital Infrastructures AI翻译

  摘要：Digital infrastructures are a result of individual yet interdependent systems evolving in relation to each other. In this paper, we identify three processes by which individual systems become embedded into digital infrastructures. First, there are parallel processes, in which systems become embedded independently of each other. Second, there are competitive processes, in which the embeddedness of one system increases at the expense of another. Finally, there are spanning processes, in which br...
