Abstract: This paper examines how firms have transformed and executed IT-enabled remote work initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic. After examining archival data on a sample of 100 firms in Spain, we discover three types of IT-enabled remote work firm’s strategies: leader, agile, and survival. Leader companies have a competitive advantage over agile companies, which in turn have a competitive advantage over survival organizations. We find that firm size was crucial to executing remote work firm’s initiatives as a leader or survival. The industry significantly affected the implementation of remote work firm’s initiatives during the three pivotal periods in the telecommunications industry. Collapse

Abstract: The business analytics and strategic management literatures suggest that organizations should seek to exploit data as a key mechanism for competitive advantage. However, the rules of engagement are evolving, the regulatory landscape is becoming increasingly complex, and ex amples of poor outcomes are increasingly common. The board – in its role of setting and moni toring risk appetite – needs to be able to govern the risk/reward trade-off of the data asset. Contemporary data governance approaches are inadequate: they are overly rigid and risk ori ented, limited in scope to an organization’s self-interest rather than considering the broad set of stakeholders, and do not provide a platform for the board to manage this critical risk. This paper uses a unique set of informants – 41 board directors – to demonstrate that differences in board perspectives influence how organizations explore the secondary use of data. Furthermore, this paper identifies a set of relevant individual, organizational and environmental factors and pre sents empirically based configurations of these factors that lead organizations to consider (or neglect) the secondary use of data as a critical enabler of competitive advantage.

Abstract: Recent studies recognize that relational capital helps manufacturing firms in Global value chains (GVCs) enhance their competitiveness in global markets. However, prior research does not provide a conclusive account of the impact of relational capital on export performance, particularly in developing countries. Drawing on a learning-based perspective and contingency approach, this study fills these gaps by linking relational capital and firm performance with a focus on manufacturing firms in developing countries that participate in GVCs. Specifically, we propose that the relational capital of these firms will have a stronger positive impact on their export performance when the technological turbulence is lower, and vice versa. Overall, this research extends the literature on knowledge transfer, interfirm relational capital, and business performance in a developing-country context. Collapse

Abstract: We explore how the initial market positioning of entrepreneurial ventures shapes how they professionalize over time, focusing specifically on the development of functional roles. In contrast to existing literature, which presumes a uniform march toward professionalization as ventures scale and complete developmental milestones, we advance a contingent perspective, distinguishing between the development of external interface functions (marketing & sales and customer development) and internal process functions (accounting, human resources, and finance). Specifically, we argue that positioning in an unconventional market space raises demand for external engagement that focuses ventures’ attention and resources toward developing external interface roles. At the same time, such unconventional ventures are less apt to elaborate their internal process roles relative to more conventional peers. We test these predictions using a novel longitudinal data set on the internal organizations of 3,748 U.S.-based entrepreneurial ventures. In contrast to common assumptions of convergent professionalization, our theory and findings advance the perspective that ventures pursue divergent professionalization paths based on their initial market positioning as they scale up.

Abstract: While online labor markets (OLMs) provide many benefits including flexibility and data driven AI matching systems, gender and other social biases have been shown in OLMs, and research demonstrates AI can also perpetuate bias. However, previous OLM research assumes bias is static over time and independent of the AI algorithm. To help design OLMs that minimize the detrimental impact of biases on marginalized social groups, we investigate the interaction among individual characteristics and AI sources of biases over the long-term and evaluate auditing strategies using an agent-based simulation model. We also empirically investigate hiring bias using a cross section of data from a popular online labor market, and we use this data to inform our simulation. We then plan to develop and empirically test a framework to evaluate AI fairness and the interaction of different biases on OLMs and test an audit strategy to mitigate biases. We plan to extend the literature on OLMs by integrating fairness and intersectionality research to evaluate the impact of biases. Collapse

Abstract: The appropriate selection of suitable process models plays an important role for IT project success. To aid in decision-making, IT project management literature offers a plethora of decision models for selecting suitable process models, however, hybrid process models are often neglected and adoption in practice is low or non-existent. To address this challenge, we draw on contingency theory to develop and implement a tool-supported decision model for the selection and evaluation of appropriate process models for IT projects, thereby leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning in the context of a selfenforcing network. Our model provides an objective tool to assess process model suitability. Results from a conducted online survey with project management experts indicate high validity. Therefore, we contribute to the field of IT project management by expanding AI-based decision models for selecting and evaluating process models through extending the range of covered models and implementing inherent weighting of criteria.

Abstract: Cyberattacks can be considered one of the fundamental challenges that paralyze the progress of digital payment usage (DPU) progress among citizens, as consumers shun away from using digital banking services due to increased concern over information security. National Cybersecurity Commitment (NCSC) has emerged as a preventive cybersecurity mechanism for countries to tackle such cybersecurity threats. Previous studies have shown that a country's NCSC positively impacts the business and economy of the country. This study examines the effect of NCSC on digital payment usage (DPU) across nations by grounding our discussion on the institutional trust theory. As trusting belief in security measures is a culturally embedded characteristic, we also examine the moderating role of national culture through Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. We use multilevel models to analyze publicly available archives of repeated cross-sectional data covering 76 countries to test the proposed relationships. Our findings indicate that NCSC has a positive influence on DPU. Further, our results highlight that the relationship between NCSC and DPU in a country is contingent on cultural dimensions. Overall, the evidence suggests that a competent cybersecurity environment compatible with cultural values can influence the speedy diffusion of digital payments in a country. Implications of our findings for research and practice are also discussed. Collapse

Abstract: The practice of information systems development (ISD) has changed during the past two decades from very structured approaches to agile ISD methods. However, in the literature many methods available for managing requirements-related risks follow a structured approach to ISD. Few, if any, available methods offer solutions that prioritize requirements risks for agile ISD projects based on recognizing requirements-related risks and patterns in order to mitigate these. To fill this gap in the literature, we apply the design science research methodology to develop an agile requirements risk prioritization method together with industry experts (n=54) in Finland and New Zealand in a multi-year study. The method was developed by applying contingency theory, and our study makes an artifactual contribution to the literature. The method helps practitioners prioritize the overall requirements-related risks for ISD projects.The remainder of the paper is structured as follows. First, we review relevant literature on ISD risk management and agile requirements risk prioritization. Then, we depict the applied DSR approach, and different qualitative research methods, to develop our method. Then, we present the developed artifacts 611 Development of an Agile Requirements Risk Prioritization Method: A Design Science Research Study Volume 52 10.17705/1CAIS.05226 Paper 26and the demonstration and evaluation process we used with our industry participants. Finally, we discuss the implications of our work and conclude the paper. Managing ISD Project Risks and Moving Towards Agile Requirements PrioritizationThe following sections review the literature on managing ISD risks in general. Thereafter, we review the literature on agile in requirements risks management and, finally, we review how contingency theory offers a solution to prioritize requirements according to the identified risks.Communications of the Association for Information Systems 630 Volume 52 Collapse
