摘要：Patients using healthcare services have substantial privacy concerns when writing online reviews of their physicians that may deter them from sharing information potentially helpful for others. This gives rise to a dilemma in which patients have to trade off between privacy and social welfare, leading to fewer and less informative reviews. To examine this trade off, we study how nudging strategies together with privacy control affect reviewers' decisions related to the provision of reviews, di...

摘要：This paper proposes a new type of blockchain, generative blockchain, that aims to transform the conventional blockchain from the focus of transaction-recording to transaction generation. The key to our design of generative blockchain lies in a novel consensus mechanism, proof-of-merit (PoM), that is uniquely designed for environments where businesses must solve complex problems before transactions find their place on the blockchain. PoM integrates the generation and recording of transactions w...

摘要：The persistent preference of patients for well-known healthcare providers inevitably leads to demand imbalances within the healthcare sector. Luckily, our research reveals that online healthcare platforms (OHPs) can address this issue by offering non-diagnostic digital services. Using an OHP-based online prescribing service as an example, our study reveals that this non-diagnostic digital service has resulted in a significant increase in consultations, particularly for less prominent hospitals...

摘要：Venture capital (VC) plays a key role in enabling information technology (IT) startups, driving economic growth and innovation. However, two defining features in the IT industry-deregulated market dynamics and gender-imbalanced labor structures-change VC effectiveness. The male-dominated ecosystem channels resources toward male entrepreneurs, leaving female-led IT startups less resourced and, in theory, more likely to benefit from VC support. Yet, they face challenges converting VC into intern...

摘要：Software packages can be susceptible to attack whenever they utilize dependencies containing security vulnerabilities (vulnerable dependencies). We theorize that the likelihood of relying on vulnerable dependencies is heightened by two structural dimensions of dependency networks: complexity (dependency count) and tight coupling (interdependence). Analyzing 40,049 packages, we find that complexity is positively associated with this likelihood and that vertical complexity (depth) plays a more p...

摘要：Digital platforms facilitate interactions among geographically distributed users which reinforce the positive network effects. However, a disproportionate increase in the contributions of users results in contribution pollution (disproportionate increase in users' contributions) and information cacophony (incoherence of contributions). Unaddressed, contribution pollution and information cacophony challenges have negative implications for platform efficiency and users' humanistic outcomes. This...

摘要：In online knowledge communities (OKCs), humans and bots collaborate at massive scale, yet how their distinct resources shape collaboration patterns remains insufficiently understood. In particular, it is unclear whether humans consistently direct collaborative processes or whether bots can assume leading roles. Grounded in coordination theory, this study applies gSpan and local process model mining to 200 Wikipedia articles to examine how flow, fit, and sharing dependencies shape human-leadoff...

摘要：Understanding metaverse gaming experience value (MGEV) is crucial for the success of metaverse games. However, prior research lacks context-specific theoretical knowledge of MGEV dimensions, roles, and practical guidance for enhancing player experience value. To address this gap, we conducted an abductive, multi-study investigation to develop a multi-dimensional typology of MGEV, demonstrate its nomological validity, and propose a player-centered approach for its investigation. First, we perfo...

摘要：Although opportunities are central to firm innovation and performance, prior research lacks a scalable, theory-grounded approach to measuring them. Existing measures are either context-specific or detached from explicit relational mechanisms, limiting their generalizability and interpretability. Leveraging computational methods including text analytics, unsupervised machine learning, and network analysis of large-scale digitized data, we propose a computational design framework guided by struc...

摘要：Medical crowdfunding depends on visible donation signals that help prospective donors assess campaign credibility. Yet platform design choices that allow donors to remain anonymous may weaken these signals. Drawing on signaling theory and information cue theory, we conceptualize donor anonymity as a double-edged sword: it protects donor privacy and intrinsic giving motives, but it also reduces the diagnosticity of donation histories for subsequent donors. Using donation-level data from GoFundM...
