摘要：The conversion funnel is a model describing the stages consumers go through in their journey toward a purchase. This journey often lasts several days to weeks and can include multiple visits to a seller's website. A large body of literature has focused on using observable search patterns to identify consumers' hidden purchasing stages and to estimate their likelihood of conversion. We propose a novel set of measures to better reveal the consumer's hidden stage in the funnel. These measures are...

We examine two types of opinion manipulations through online reviews: promoting oneself and demoting one'...

摘要：Star and Ruhleder's (1996) influential relational view of infrastructure is usually understood as a relation between technologies and organizational practices. However, a significant part of Star and Ruhleder's original proposal has been overlooked-that infrastructure becomes a home for somebody. In this paper, we give an alternative interpretation of this relational view by focusing on the relation between a person and their infrastructure, rather than on the relation between technologies and...

摘要：A common problem in many mature markets is how to deal with congestion-a situation in which transaction requests from market participants cannot be accommodated in an expedited manner. This paper examines the congestion problem in sequential Dutch auction markets. Transactions in these markets typically involve perishable goods, making market clearing speed crucial. Traditionally, sequential Dutch auctions have been implemented with fast-paced auction clocks that process equally attractive bid...

摘要：The rise of technology-enabled ride-hailing services has affected individuals' transportation-related decisions. The impact of these ride-hailing services likely varies across traveler segments that differ in their usage of various modes of transportation. In this paper, we develop and leverage a framework that allows us to examine the impact of ride-hailing services on the transportation mode choice for three traveler segments: drivers (who primarily use a personal automobile to travel), ride...

摘要：Information, which is the critical resource provided by information systems (IS), is available in increasing volumes due to rapid technological progress. This causes a tension between the cognitive limitations of individuals and their access to large volumes of information. This tension is important not only for individuals but also for teams, which are increasingly making important organizational decisions. Recognizing this tension, this paper investigates the relationship between information...

摘要：Information generated in online markets can affect both buyers??? and sellers??? expectations and therefore their choices. In this research, we investigate the effect of market information, generated in online auction markets, on buyers??? expectations and choices. To clear large inventories, sellers often conduct many auctions selling identical items over time, which creates an online auction market where competition dynamics spill over from one to auction to another. In these markets, bidder...
