  摘要：Third-party quality assurance seals have emerged as a prominent mechanism to reduce uncertainty and increase purchase conversion in online markets. However, systematic studies of the effectiveness of these seals are scarce. In this study, we exploit a unique data set of 9,098 shopping sessions at an online retailer's website to empirically measure the value and effectiveness of assurance seals on the likelihood of purchase by shoppers. The data set is collected from a randomized field experime...
• Licensing and Competition for Services in Open Source Software AI翻译

  摘要：Open source software is becoming increasingly prominent, and the economic structure of open-source development is changing. In recent years, firms motivated by revenues from software services markets have become the primary contributors to open-source development. In this paper we study the role of services in open source software development and explore the choice between open source and proprietary software. Specifically, our economic model jointly analyzes the investment and pricing decisio...
• All Are Not Equal: An Examination of the Economic Returns to Different Forms of Participation in Open Source Software Communities AI翻译

  摘要：Open source software (OSS) communities live and die with the continuous contributions of programmers who often participate without direct remuneration. An intriguing question is whether such sustained participation in OSS projects yields economic benefits to the participants. Moreover, as participants engage in OSS projects, they take on different roles and activities in the community. This raises additional questions of whether different forms of participation in OSS communities are associate...

  摘要：Personalization technologies today enable retailers to tailor online purchase interactions to the individual preferences and needs of customers. With personalization being increasingly perceived as a source of competitive advantage, there is a growing trend toward pursuing technology-enabled personalization strategies in online retailing. However, the choice of a retailer whether or not to select into technology-enabled personalization and its implications for customer loyalty are at best ambi...
• An Investigation of the Appropriation of Technology-Mediated Training Methods Incorporating Enactive and Collaborative Learning AI翻译
  作者：Gupta, Saurabh; Bostrom, Robert
  作者单位：State University System of Florida; University of North Florida; University System of Georgia; University of Georgia
  摘要：The growth in the application of information technology to student and employee learning underscores the need to understand the impact of technology-mediated learning (TML) methods. Using previous developed TML models, based on social cognitive theory and adaptive structuration meta-theory, the effectiveness of three training methods were examined in this study: technology mediated (using both vicarious and enactive learning), and collaborative and combined (collaborative plus technology media...
• Contracting Information Security in the Presence of Double Moral Hazard AI翻译
  作者：Lee, Chul Ho; Geng, Xianjun; Raghunathan, Srinivasan

  摘要：In information security outsourcing, it is the norm that the outsourcing firms and the outsourcers (commonly called managed security service providers, MSSPs) need to coordinate their efforts for better security. Nevertheless, efforts are often private and thus both firms and MSSPs can suffer from double moral hazard. Furthermore, the double moral hazard problem in security outsourcing is complicated by the existence of strong externality and the multiclient nature of MSSP services. In this pr...
• Governance of Interorganizational Information Systems: A Resource Dependence Perspective AI翻译
  作者：Chatterjee, Dipanjan; Ravichandran, T.
  作者单位：Brock University; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
  摘要：In this paper we examine why firms seek to control and own interorganizational information systems, or IOS. Practitioners have largely cited the issues related to control and ownership of IOS, referred to as IOS governance in this paper, as the key reason behind the failure of many IOS initiatives. We distinguish between two IOS governance modes, transactional and financial, and develop a mediated-moderation model to explain the factors influencing the governance choices. In our model, the key...
• Business Value of Information Technology: Testing the Interaction Effect of IT and R&D on Tobin's Q AI翻译
  作者：Bardhan, Indranil; Krishnan, Viswanathan; Lin, Shu

  摘要：The business case for investing in information technology (IT) has received increasing scrutiny in recent years. We propose that IT investments create additional business value through interactions with other business processes. In this paper, we formalize the interaction effect of IT by focusing on one core function, namely, research and development (R&D). We hypothesize that investments in IT can interact with and complement a firm's R&D investments, enhancing the firm's shareholder value cr...
• The Impact of Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement on Open Source Software Project Success AI翻译
  作者：Wen, Wen; Forman, Chris; Graham, Stuart J. H.
  作者单位：University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin; University System of Georgia; Georgia Institute of Technology
  摘要：We investigate how intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement against developers and users of open source software (OSS) affects the success of related OSS projects. We hypothesize that when an IPR enforcement action is filed, user interest and developer activity will be negatively affected in two types of related OSS projects-those that display technology overlap with the OSS application in dispute and business projects that are specific to the disputed OSS platform. We examine two widely...
• An Empirical Examination of the Antecedents and Consequences of Contribution Patterns in Crowd-Funded Markets AI翻译

  摘要：Crowd-funded markets have recently emerged as a novel source of capital for entrepreneurs. As the economic potential of these markets is now being realized, they are beginning to go mainstream, a trend reflected by the explicit attention crowdfunding has received in the American Jobs Act as a potential avenue for economic growth, as well as the recent focus that regulators such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have placed upon it. Although the formulation of regulation and policy...
