摘要:An increasing number of companies are launching corporate online communities to facilitate knowledge sharing. A corporate online community is different from traditional communication channels, as its social-media atmosphere physically eliminates organizational boundaries. However, studies have shown that organizational boundaries still hinder knowledge exchange in corporate online communities. In this study, we propose that both knowledge-focused and social-related motivations exist, underlyin...

摘要:With increasing volumes of participation in social media and online communities, content moderation has become an integral component of platform governance. Volunteer (human) moderators have thus far been the essential workforce for content moderation. Because volunteer-based content moderation faces challenges in achieving scalable, desirable, and sustainable moderation, many online platforms have recently started to adopt algorithm-based content moderation tools (bots). When bots are introdu...

摘要:Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a transformative addition to real estate platforms, revolutionizing the presentation of property details. In contrast to traditional presentation technologies (e.g., pictures and videos), VR constructs an interactive threedimensional (3D) environment for consumers to obtain property information. Prior erature mainly examined VR's effects (e.g., vividness and interactivity) on selling low involvement products such as books and apparel from a behavioral perspe...

摘要:Effective customer acquisition heavily hinges on sequential targeting to ensure that appropriate marketing messages reach customers. Sequential targeting could guide customers through the acquisition process and thus, optimize long-term revenue for the firm. Toward this goal, reinforcement learning (RL) has demonstrated great potential in facilitating sequential targeting during user acquisition. However, decisions made by RL during this process often lack explainability. We introduce the deep...

摘要:Manufacturing firms face increasing pressures to digitalize their resource base. Following the notion that adaptive changes hinge on the knowledge of top managers, we examine how the technology-and business-related human capital of chief executive officers (CEOs) drives digital product innovation in distinct environments. Drawing on the dynamic managerial capabilities perspective, we argue that technological knowledge enables CEOs to sense and act on opportunities arising from digital technolo...

摘要:Enterprise systems (ESs) can be important for the development and maintenance of professional role identities. Prior work shows that a new ES implementation can trigger significant identity work in individuals and groups if it alters their tasks or responsibilities. What has received less attention is that the introduction of a new ES may affect multiple, interdependent professional groups simultaneously, changing how these professional groups can or must interact based on the system propertie...

摘要:Social ventures fundraising through crowdfunding compete for contributions. Thus, they often involve major donors to influence the contributions of smaller donors. We examine what type of major-donor contribution scheme is most likely to attract smaller donors, considering whether and to what degree male and female donors differ in their response to alternative major-donor contribution schemes that are commonly used in practice. In a field experiment, donors were randomly assigned to receive o...

摘要:Many online platforms have utilized information technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), to reduce consumers' information search costs and facilitate their decision-making processes. Given the variety of online information, these technologies are often effective in reducing the search cost for only specific information types: a concept we refer to as search cost reduction for partial information. For rational consumers, this can lead to improved decision making. However, consumers do ...

摘要:Ransomware, a digital form of extortion, has emerged as one of the biggest threats to cybersecurity. Faced with business disruptions, many organizations accede to ransom demands, and in doing so, they incentivize attackers to launch more attacks, elevating the chance of a future breach, not just for themselves but for others as well. We study this externality using a multiperiod game among multiple firms, each of which has a choice to pay or not pay if breached in a particular period, its choi...

摘要:Digital and information technology (IT) are two concepts that scholars and practitioners use to refer to organizing around technology. Although some consider these concepts synonymous, others consider them distinct. Relatedly, both digital and IT units are increasingly found in many organizations aiming to incorporate digital technologies into their customer offerings and operational processes. This coexistence suggests a qualitative difference in the underpinning logic of organizing around di...
