Abstract: Advocates consider NFTs a potentially disruptive blockchain-enabled innovation. In light of surging popularity and low theoretical insights, we study NFTs from a lifecycle-driven perspective. We develop a taxonomy that adheres to a habitual method and draws on a five-step process of analyzing literature and real-world projects. Our taxonomy contributes to descriptive knowledge by structuring NFTs with 20 dimensions and 77 characteristics along the perspectives of origination, distribution, transfer, trade, and redeem. We enable researchers and practitioners to grasp the NFT phenomenon in a structured manner and demonstrate the applicability of our taxonomy through expert interviews and case studies. Collapse

Abstract: In this paper, we confront a paradox in the IS literature that even though our field focuses on the rapid pace of technological change and the dramatic scale of technology-enabled organizational and societal changes, we sometimes find ourselves studying these changes using—largely without question—constructs that were developed in a vastly different IT, user, and organizational environment. We provide guidelines to help assess whether an existing construct warrants updating and to structure the updating task if it is undertaken. Our three-step process provides for a theoretically grounded and comprehensive method that ensures we balance the need for construct updating against the need to sustain our cumulative tradition. We illustrate our guidelines using computer self-efficacy (CSE) as a case study. We document each of the steps involved in analyzing, reconceptualizing, and testing the revised construct information technology self-efficacy (ITSE). Our analyses show that the new construct better explains both traditional and contemporary constructs with a traditional (postal survey) and contemporary (online panel) sample. We discuss the implications of our work both for research on self-efficacy and more broadly for future updating of other important constructs. Collapse

Abstract: The shift towards human-robot collaboration (HRC) has the potential to increase productivity and sustainability, while reducing costs for the manufacturing industries. Indeed, it holds great potential for workplaces, allowing individuals to forsake repetitive or physically demanding jobs to focus on safer and more fulfilling ones. Still, integration of humans and machines in organizations presents great challenges to IS scholars due to the complexity of aligning digitalization and human resources. A knowledge gap does persist about organizational implications when it comes to implement collaborative robotics in the workplace and to support proper HRC. Thus, this paper aims to identify recommended human resources management (HRM) practices from previous research about human-robot interaction (HRI). As our results highlight that few studies attempted to fill the gap, a conceptual framework is proposed. It integrates HRM practices, technology adoption dimensions and main determinants of HRC, in the objective to support collaborative robotics implementation in organizations. Collapse

Abstract: Robots are emerging in welfare services, and organizations require information on whether novel technologies are approved among staff. On the basis of technology acceptance theories, this study proposes a model that adds a principled approach to the intention to use care robots. Data of 544 professionals with care robot experience were collected. The use intention was predicted by usefulness, enjoyment, social influence, and attitude. Respondents who found robots useful and accepted by their colleagues were more likely to view robot use as consistent with their personal values. The care robot acceptance model supports consideration of the profession-specific context in robotization. Collapse

Abstract: This research investigates the moderating roles of firm ownership in managerial perceptions of information systems (IS) in transition economies. Analysis of representative survey data from 304 companies in Hungary showed that perceptions of IS are driven by organizational variables in foreign firms, and by environmental variables in domestic firms. The findings embrace a more fine-grained notion of variables affecting IS usefulness in the transition economy context by showing that those are contingent on firm ownership. Collapse

Abstract: The factors affecting rejection or acceptance of an emerging IT artifact such as mobile banking have piqued interest among IS researchers and remain unknown due in part to consumers' trust and risk perceptions in the wireless platform. This study extends this line of research by conjointly examining multi-dimensional trust and multi-faceted risk perceptions in the initial adoption stage of the wireless Internet platform. Results of this study indicate that risk perception, derived from eight different facets, is a salient antecedent to innovative technology acceptance. Beyond prior studies, the results also provide empirical support for employing personal trait factors in analyzing acceptance of emerging IT artifacts. Collapse

Abstract: This paper presents a multi-method analysis of the implementation of an enterprise resource planning system. It argues the majority of research treats these systems as having essential technical properties that enable them to bring about positive organisational effects. In contrast, we adopt a post-essentialist perspective that understands discourse as constructing ERP systems, rather than reflecting their essential properties. Discourse analysis of interviews and focus groups was used to compare justifications for the implementation produced by members of the ERP project team with end users' reactions to the system. In contrast to previous studies, this opens the ERP black box by illustrating how the capabilities of these systems, and their organisational effects, are constructed through language. Moreover, it demonstrates the important function these constructions perform in legitimising or undermining ERP implementation. Statistical analysis of post-implementation questionnaires identified the predictors of established measures of users' reactions to IT systems. By comparing these data with end users' discursive reactions to the project, we identify several constructs for inclusion in future studies of users' reactions to ERP systems. The paper concludes by summarising the contributions and limitations of the study and its implications for future research and practice. Collapse

Abstract: Innovation is poorly understood. Generally, it is presented as a rational process of matching a brilliant idea with market needs via a sustainable business model. In business schools and entrepreneurial programs everywhere, future innovators are taught how to represent this stylized process in business plans. This approach is flawed inasmuch as it ignores the reflexive behaviour of the innovators themselves and the ways in which innovation and information systems development is shaped by that. This paper instead shows how innovators work by maintaining and extending their innovability, rather than by promoting a particular innovation. Collapse

Abstract: This study examines outcomes associated with differences in software developers’ creative style, based on Kirton’s adaption–innovation theory. Propositions were developed and tested to identify the relationship between software developers’ creativity and their attitude to a technological innovation that altered the software development process in their organizations. Based on adaption–innovation theory, we expected that innovators (i.e. more innovative employees) would demonstrate higher levels of job satisfaction and performance than adaptors (i.e. less innovative employees), after approximately 4 months of using the innovation. We conducted a survey of 220 developers in two firms that had recently replaced mainframe-based software development with client/server development. Our results demonstrate a pattern of relationships among employees’ creative style, attitude to the innovation, job satisfaction, and performance which we believe have important implications for managers responsible for implementing other technological innovations.

Abstract: This study examines the influence of the individual characteristic of playfulness on the use of the World Wide Web (WWW). Previous research suggests that microcomputer playfulness has an effect on computer usage in general, and we found support for a similar relationship in WWW use. Two samples of students were surveyed in this study; one consisting of undergraduate students and the other comprised of graduate students. Our findings also suggest that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect WWW use differentially for entertainment purposes and for course work purposes. Our study confirms previous research in that we found that ability to use the computer has a positive effect on WWW usage. Collapse
