• Models of Collaboration as the Foundation for Collaboration Technologies AI翻译
  作者：Poltrock, Steven; Handel, Mark
  作者单位：Boeing
  摘要：Can models of collaboration serve as foundations for development of collaborative technologies in much the same way that engineers use models when developing complex systems? We explore this issue by investigating how eight approaches to understanding or modeling collaboration could be used to improve technologies that support processes used in a large aerospace program. Some modeling approaches are ostensive, defining how collaboration should be achieved or how the technology should be used. ...
• The Disruptive Effect of Open Platforms on Markets for Wireless Services AI翻译
  作者：Lahiri, Atanu; Dewan, Rajiv M.; Freimer, Marshall

  摘要：Application-based pricing is common in telecommunications. Wireless carriers charge consumers more per byte of traffic for text messages than they do for wireless surfing or voice calls. Such pricing is possible because carriers and handset manufacturers have the ability to tag and meter each application. While tagging and metering are possible in the case of closed platforms such as iPhone, they are not in the case of open platforms such as Android. Android is open source with open applicatio...
• Task and Social Information Seeking: Whom Do We Prefer and Whom Do We Approach? AI翻译

  摘要：Employee information-seeking behavior shapes the formation of organizational communication networks and affects performance. However, it is not easy to facilitate, particularly through information technology, and its motivations are not well understood. Recognizing two broad categories of information-that is, task and social information-this study investigates and compares the antecedents of task and social information seeking. Deriving from the relational communication perspective, informatio...
• Predicting Collaboration Technology Use: Integrating Technology Adoption and Collaboration Research AI翻译
  作者：Brown, Susan A.; Dennis, Alan R.; Venkatesh, Viswanath

  摘要：The paper presents a model integrating theories from collaboration research (i.e., social presence theory, channel expansion theory, and the task closure model) with a recent theory from technology adoption research (i.e., unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, abbreviated to UTAUT) to explain the adoption and use of collaboration technology. We theorize that collaboration technology characteristics, individual and group characteristics, task characteristics, and situational chara...
• Implementing Service-Oriented Architecture in Organizations AI翻译

  摘要：Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has been promoted as a technology that can enhance information systems agility, interoperability between applications, deployment flexibility, and reusability. As with any new information technology (IT), the decision to adopt SOA cannot be taken lightly, given the nontrivial investment in economic and personnel resources. The complexity associated with industry-wide diffusion, coupled with organization, industry, and environment factors, contributes to a la...
• Multitask Agency, Modular Architecture, and Task Disaggregation in SaaS AI翻译
  作者：Susarla, Anjana; Barua, Anitesh; Whinston, Andrew B.

  摘要：We examine contract choices in the provision of software-as-a-service (SaaS), which is a business innovation that transforms information technology (IT) resources into a continuously provided service. We draw upon agency theory and modularity theory to propose that one of the central challenges in service disaggregation is that of knowledge interdependencies across client and provider organizations. The resulting lack of verifiability of certain tasks results in a multitask agency problem. Our...
• Consumer Empowerment Through Internet-Based Co-creation AI翻译
  作者：Fueller, Johann; Muehlbacher, Hans; Matzler, Kurt; Jawecki, Gregor
  作者单位：University of Innsbruck; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
  摘要：Cost-efficient and multimedia-rich interaction opportunities offered by the Internet and the existence of online communities have made virtual co-creation a suitable means of creating value and improving the overall success of new products. Information technology enables new forms of producer-consumer collaboration in new product development processes. However, little research exists on consumers' experiences during virtual co-creation tasks. Drawing on the literature on organizational behavio...
• Estimating Time Required to Reach Bid Levels in Online Auctions AI翻译
  作者：Bandyopadhyay, Subhajyoti; Bandyopadhyay, Seema
  作者单位：State University System of Florida; University of Florida
  摘要：Sellers in eBay are often small-business owners whose livelihood depends on fast turnaround of their cash flows. Unlike in traditional auctions, these sellers are content to sell as soon as some target price is reached. While a wealth of literature exists on the final rent of the various stakeholders in a traditional auction setting, what is of interest here is to estimate the time required to reach a certain bid level in ongoing auctions. This paper introduces an analytical model to estimate ...
• Preserving User Preferences in Automated Document-Category Management: An Evolution-Based Approach AI翻译
  作者：Wei, Chih-Ping; Hu, Paul Jen-Hwa; Lee, Yen-Hsien
  作者单位：National Chiayi University; National Tsing Hua University
  摘要：Analysis of prevalent document management practices shows the popular use of categories (e.g., folders) to organize documents for subsequent searches and retrievals. The coherence and distinction of an existing document category can diminish considerably as influxes of new documents arrive over time. The complexity of and effort requirements for document-category management favor an automated approach that can be supported by appropriate document-clustering techniques. A review of the extant l...
• Chaos Theory as a Lens for Interpreting Blogging AI翻译

  摘要：Blogging is becoming increasingly popular as a global phenomenon. Individual blog traffic and blogosphere structure are of interest to academia and practice. Although it is difficult to get a snapshot of the blogosphere with enough blogs over a long enough period to capture the real situation, chaos theory finds underlying order in this apparent random and complex phenomenon. This study provides an overall view of blogging from micro (individual blog traffic dynamics) and macro (blogosphere st...
