Abstract

Disinformation campaigns have become a significant concern for public institutions across various domains, including politics, healthcare, and financial markets. Consequently, authorities must develop effective strategies and measures to combat such campaigns while upholding their objectives of serving the public. In financial markets, institutions aim to ensure consumer protection and market integrity, both of which are at risk due to fraudulent activities driven by financial fake news (FFN). Drawing on a sample of FFN cases and institutional communications, our study contributes to the conceptualization of FFN schemes through a taxonomy, identifies IT-embedded dynamic capabilities (DCs) and the underlying microfoundations that institutions employ to address such schemes, and discusses open challenges for institutions. Our research provides practical value for institutions, regulators, and the public by informing them about FFN schemes and offering guidance applicable to other sectors affected by disinformation, such as healthcare and politics.

公共机构应对虚假信息的it嵌入动态能力——以金融假新闻为例

虚假信息活动已成为各个领域（包括政治、医疗保健和金融市场）公共机构关注的一个重大问题。因此，当局必须制定有效的策略和措施，在坚持服务公众的目标的同时，打击这些活动。在金融市场中，机构的目标是确保消费者保护和市场诚信，这两者都面临着金融假新闻（FFN）驱动的欺诈活动的风险。我们的研究以FFN案例和机构沟通为样本，通过分类对FFN方案进行了概念化，确定了it嵌入式动态能力（dc）和机构用于解决此类方案的潜在微观基础，并讨论了机构面临的公开挑战。我们的研究为机构、监管机构和公众提供了有关FFN计划的信息，并为受虚假信息影响的其他部门（如医疗保健和政治）提供了适用的指导，从而为他们提供了实用价值。
