Corporate fraud detection is attracting renewed research interest in the era of internet connectivity due to its increasing complexity, concealment, and long-term duration. Previous fraud detection methods have heavily relied on financial statements and demonstrated limited detection power. While network analysis has emerged as a promising technique, its full potential in corporate fraud detectio…

Racial discrimination in crowdfunding is a significant barrier to equitable access to capital, as racial minorities face greater challenges in achieving their fundraising goals. While prior research has documented discriminatory patterns in crowdfunding outcomes, the underlying mechanisms driving this discrimination remain unclear. This is a critical gap that must be addressed to develop effectiv…

Hospitals are increasingly investing in healthcare analytics systems to improve the performance of clinical processes and patient care. However, the impact of these investments varies significantly across hospitals. The challenge for hospital managers lies in determining which clinical processes will be most beneficial, how long it will take to see returns, and how long these investments should b…

Participants on tokenized platforms (i.e., platforms with blockchain implementation) can simultaneously take multiple roles, such as user, investor, and laborer, and draw income from the last two roles. Unlike traditional markets that typically prioritize one means of profitable participation, participants on such platforms need to allocate their efforts on the platform to increase revenue. We de…

The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) across health, education, agriculture, economy, public services, and daily life (Almatrafi et al., 2024; Kaya et al., 2025; Ng et al., 2021) has created both unprecedented opportunities and a growing concern: those who lack the skills to interact with AI risk being left behind socially and economically (Beltran et al., 2024; Carter et al., 2…

Indigenous knowledge comprises ecological and environmental knowledge, agricultural knowledge, medicinal knowledge, historical knowledge and cultural heritage and craftmanship deeply imbedded in the society (Sergon, P. J., Akoth, S. O., & Dzinekou, J. Y. 2022). The knowledge plays a critical role in social, political and economic development. Specialized libraries are libraries attached to entiti…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major focus of organizational strategy, public debate, and policy concern, even as its capabilities and risks remain uncertain. As a general-purpose technology, AI spans industries, labor markets, and regulatory domains, making its meaning contested and unsettled. Yet management research offers limited insight into how AI meanings are constructed, transfo…

In this paper we take the position that a research stream specific to AI Strategy Leadership deserves dedicated attention in the context of the broader AI research domain. This research stream emerged from studies that related to the role of the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO) and leadership structures that companies are using to support their AI strategy. This stream is focused on A…

Catastrophic events create substantial material losses and cause significant harm to wide parts of the population (Roztocki et al., 2025). In catastrophic events, e-government provides an important basis for administrative responses to maintain social and economic operations. During COVID-19, when physical access to government agencies was restricted, e-government allowed clients to continue to r…

The integration of artificial intelligence in IT projects is shifting the fundamental roles, professional obligations, and interpersonal dynamics of project leaders. It is critical to understand 1) What new leadership competencies are required for IT project leaders to effectively lead projects with integrated AI capabilities? 2) How do emerging AI-era leadership competencies among IT project man…

Digital platforms have become integral to how individuals interpret health information. Recent informatics studies document widespread exposure to conflicting guidance and increasing reliance on online sources yet provide limited explanation for how such inconsistencies shape individual sensemaking processes (Stimpson et al., 2024; Zhang & Gai, 2026). Sensemaking perspectives in Information Syste…

The global information technology (IT) outsourcing market continues to expand and grow in complexity. Although extensive research has been conducted in this field, reported levels of client satisfaction with outsourcing service providers remain relatively low. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI) has proven effective in enhancing efficiency and enabling innovative solutions across numerous ind…

In Information Systems (IS) research, the relational understanding of affordances explains how technologies enable or constrain action possibilities for goal-oriented actors. Following this relational view, affordances are subject-dependent: the same technology may afford different possibilities to different actors, depending on their roles, abilities, and actions; suggesting that the subject of …

The digital and AI divide research conceptualizes three levels of inequality including access, capability, and outcomes, with prior research examining who can access AI tools and who has the skills to use them effectively (Carter et al., 2020). For small to medium enterprises (SMEs), who have historically been disadvantaged by both the digital and AI divide due to limited resources and technical …

The purpose of this panel is to share feedback from focus groups with IT and IS executives and senior leaders on the current impact GenAI is having on the IT workforce. The focus group moderators asked the following questions to participants: (1) How is GenAI transforming IT roles, required skills, and hiring practices across experience levels? (2) In what ways can IT professionals and programmer…

Online innovation communities have emerged as vital infrastructures for the development and diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies (Atzori et al., 2010). Platforms such as Hackster.io allow developers to share projects, attract peer attention, and compete for formal recognition. Despite their growing economic importance — the global IoT ecosystem is projected to exceed $1.1 trillion —…

Cities strive to become more efficient, provide better services, and create a high-quality environment for their citizens. Over the last two decades, information and communication technologies (ICT) have become one of the primary means of achieving such progress. Beyond ICT adoption, cities have become increasingly aware of the vast amount of data they generate. Data has emerged as a key producti…

The framework for business communication transparency is new. To further develop this framework, this symposium setting for information systems (IS) scholars is a venue ripe for a survey instrument development process to assess the validity of the framework’s constructs. Specifically, to consider the lawful existence of items judiciously selected from extant literature to adopt, adapt, newly crea…

Generative AI now synthesizes personalized video advertisements in real time from live behavioral signals, with industry forecasts predicting that 40 percent of digital advertising will be generative by 2026. This introduces governance conditions that neither the algorithmic personalization literature nor the AI-generated content literature has previously addressed: the creative artifact is synth…
