Additionally, the research investigates the moderating effect of time pressure on the relationship between consumer value and impulsive buying behavior. This study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) with Smart-PLS software to analyze data from Indonesian (<em>N</em> = 520) e-commerce buyers. The results indicate that shopping motivations, particularly ‘best deal’ and ‘social’ factors, significantly enhance consumers' hedonic value but do not impact utilitarian value. Hedonic value, in turn, strongly influences affective impulsive buying behavior, whereas utilitarian value does not. Additionally, time pressure moderates the relationship between hedonic value and affective impulsive buying, while having no effect on the link between utilitarian value and cognitive impulsive buying. This study provides a comprehensive look at impulsive buying behavior in e-commerce, focusing on consumer value and the role of time pressure. The findings show that exclusive deals and social interactions boost hedonic value, which has a stronger effect on affective impulsive buying than utilitarian value on cognitive impulsive buying. These insights help e-commerce platforms refine strategies to increase consumer engagement and impulsive purchases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process involves a focal company selecting suppliers and allocating orders to obtain required materials. Achieving effective SSOA processes is challenged by (1) reliance on centralized governance and (2) ensuring effective contract management. While so called “smart contracts” could address these challenges, design knowledge about such technology — particularly in the SSOA context — is underexplored in the literature. In this paper we design a smart contract for SSOA in supply chains. We conducted a design science research study and developed three core artifacts: (1) a mathematical description of SSOA; (2) a system model of actor interactions; and (3) SSOA-relevant algorithms. Utilizing the Ethereum blockchain, we demonstrated and tested our smart contracts through scenario analysis. We found that our design is feasible and highly likely to address centralization and effectiveness challenges in SSOA. This paper contributes to the literature by demonstrating how smart contract design focusing on SSOA can further enhance blockchain-driven business models. In addition, we offer prescriptive knowledge on developing smart contracts for SSOA in supply chains.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144331323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the <em>Diffusion of Innovations</em> (DOI) theory explains staged adoption processes, it underrepresents socio-political and institutional factors. The <em>Social Shaping of Technology</em> (SST) approach complements DOI by focusing on the co-construction of technology through cultural, organizational, and political dynamics. This study investigates how DOI and SST can be combined to explain the adoption and diffusion of digital health innovations, with a focus on telemedicine in the German healthcare system. Using the Decision Matrix for Theory Borrowing, DOI and SST were selected as complementary frameworks. A secondary analysis of 12 expert interviews was conducted using SST-based content analysis. Data were coded according to Rogers' five adoption stages and four SST dimensions. Findings were mapped in a DOI–SST matrix and analysed across micro-, <em>meso</em>-, and macro-levels. The analysis shows that innovation trajectories are shaped by interdependent socio-technical factors across all adoption stages. Key barriers include cultural skepticism, organizational inertia, fragmented governance, and economic misalignment. The <em>Socio-Technical Adoption and Diffusion Model for Healthcare</em> (STAD-HC) was developed to represent these dynamics, linking DOI's stage logic with SST's contextual dimensions. The STAD-HC model offers a multi-level framework to analyse how digital health technologies are adopted, contested, and institutionalized. By integrating behavioural processes with structural influences, it provides practical guidance for managing innovation and supports future research on complex digital health technologies such as AI and blockchain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144296836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework could serve as the theoretical foundation for future academic studies exploring the impact of novel technologies on consumers' retail experiences. Integrating AI, AR, and VR into the experience economy framework offers significant theoretical and practical insights into enhancing consumer retail experiences.

Grounded in the Task-Technology Fit (TTF) theory, the study investigates the mediating role of Knowledge Sharing (KS) and the moderating role of Technology Training Availability (TTA). Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected through structured surveys from 384 employees in the telecommunication industry and analyzed using Smart-PLS 4.0. The findings reveal that all webtop application features significantly enhance EP, with KS mediating these relationships. TTA positively moderates the effects of RTDA and CF but shows a negative moderation for UIU and no significant impact for SI. The study's novelty lies in its comprehensive exploration of webtop applications within a developing economy, addressing both the technological and human dimensions of productivity. Recommendations include fostering a culture of knowledge sharing, optimizing training programs to match technological complexity, and investing in feature-rich, integrated systems to enhance organizational performance.
