Dec 31st, 2024 | By

ABSTRACT Information systems (IS) research often seeks to deliver practical impact in addition to the traditional requirement for theoretical contribution. While an admirable goal, it is nevertheless a challenging prospect, as key questions remain around how best to facilitate a relationship between IS academic and practitioner communities.

Consortium Governance and Market Entry of Digital B2B Platforms: The Case of ADAMOS

Dec 29th, 2024 | By

ABSTRACT In this study, we examine how the Industrial Internet of Things platform ADAMOS successfully entered the German mechanical engineering market using a consortium-based approach. By establishing a joint venture among industry incumbents, ADAMOS followed consortium governance that separated platform ownership from platform operation. In so doing, ADAMOS navigated the complexities of market entry and

Nov 28th, 2024 | By

ABSTRACT Algorithms used in data analytics (DA) tools, particularly in high-stakes contexts such as hiring and promotion, may yield unfair recommendations that deviate from merit-based standards and adversely affect individuals. While significant research from fields such as machine learning and human–computer interaction (HCI) has advanced our understanding of algorithmic fairness, less is known about how

Technology affordances, actualisation and adaptation for heritage preservation: A case study of Beijing’s Palace Museum

Nov 20th, 2024 | By

Abstract Museums are vital cultural and educational institutions that play a key role in heritage preservation. Despite the importance of museums, the interaction between these conventional institutions and advanced technologies remains relatively underexplored in information systems (IS) research. Adopting affordance-actualisation (A–A) theory as the theoretical lens, we conducted an in-depth case study of the Palace
