摘要：One fundamental economic challenge in social gaming is how to monetize players. We address this problem from the lens of social influence. Specifically, we examine how players' paying behaviors in a social game are associated with their pure friends and Simmelian-tie friends. Analyzing a comprehensive social game dataset provided by Tencent.com, we find that the cohesion effect emanating from players' direct connections in the social gaming network exhibits positive impacts on players' willing...

摘要：Reward-based crowdfunding has been increasingly used by entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise capital for their creative projects. To keep the money raised, most platforms require that the total amount of pledged money must exceed a pre-specified funding goal. In this study, we aim to gain a better understanding of backer motivations by empirically investigating their pledging and sharing patterns at different stages of achieving the funding threshold. By analyzing a unique dataset that ...

摘要：As new information technology (IT) platforms continue to emerge, the technical project risk associated with developing IT projects for these platforms is particularly challenging for organizations. We develop a nomological network of people, process, and technology to gain insight into how the effect of technical project risk can be mitigated at the IT project team level. Drawing on cultural contingency theory, the IT project risk framework, and the IT project management literature, we elabora...

摘要：Electronic word of mouth (eWoM) messages are increasingly consequential for consumers' decisions regarding products/services. This has led to a large body of scholarly research on factors affecting eWoM message adoption. Adoption of an eWoM message refers to accepting the information and recommendations contained in an eWoM message, which consequently influence consumers' cognitive and behavioral tendencies toward pertinent products/services. Notwithstanding the contributions of prior eWoM stu...

摘要：Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies continue to grow and present possibilities to change the ways we learn, accomplish tasks, and interact with the world. However, widespread adoption has continually languished below purported potential. We suggest that a more complete understanding of the underlying motives driving users to take advantage of VR and AR would aid researchers by consolidating fragmented knowledge across domains and by identifying paths for additional inq...

摘要：To investigate the societal value of digital peer groups in the context of youth unemployment, one of society's most pressing problems, we developed a novel mobile peer-group-based career counseling approach. Following a design-oriented methodology, we constructed an intervention in which we supplement offline one-on-one counseling sessions between youths and career counselors with mobile peer groups where youths can support one another in a trusting environment, independent of time and place....

摘要：Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency whose transactions are recorded on a distributed, openly accessible ledger. On the Bitcoin Blockchain, an owning entity's real-world identity is hidden behind a pseudonym, a so-called address. Therefore, Bitcoin is widely assumed to provide a high degree of anonymity, which is a driver for its frequent use for illicit activities. This paper presents a novel approach for de-anonymizing the Bitcoin Blockchain by using Supervised Machine Learning to predict the type of...
