Abstract
ABSTRACT This research examines how organizational cybersecurity responses become isomorphic over time. Drawing on institutional theory, this study theorizes that mimetic pressures, normative pressures, and coercive pressures impact cybersecurity responses. Using the textual data gathered from the annual 10-K reports published by 87 large organizations and their competitors, topic modeling was employed to assess the cybersecurity responses and institutional pressures. Linear regression was applied to the resultant topic weights. Findings show that mimetic pressures were significant over time while coercive pressures were significant in the near-term and normative pressures were significant in the long-term. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) is to publish quality, fresh, and innovative work that will make a difference for future research and practice rather than focusing on well-established research areas.
JOCEC publishes original research that explores the relationships between computer/communication technology and the design, operations, and performance of organizations. This includes implications of the technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, technological advances to keep pace with changes of organizations and their environments, emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational performance, and the many facets of electronic business.
Theoretical, experimental, survey, and design science research are all welcome and might look at:
• E-commerce
• Collaborative commerce
• Interorganizational systems
• Enterprise systems
• Supply chain technologies
• Computer-supported cooperative work
• Computer-aided coordination
• Economics of organizational computing
• Technologies for organizational learning
• Behavioral aspects of organizational computing.
