This form of crowdfunding has only recently gained attention within the IS community. However, how the characteristics of this type of crowdfunding are reflected in supporters’ motivation to support a campaign, is not well-established. We build upon Self-Determination Theory, to outline altruistic, image, social comparison, and recognition motivation as crucial motivations in subscription-based crowdfunding. In order to test our hypotheses, we conducted an online survey with 343 participants. We leverage propensity score matching to achieve a balanced dataset, reduce potential self-selection biases, and create a quasi-experimental setting. Using this approach, we demonstrate that altruistic, image, social comparison, and recognition motivation play a bigger role in supporting behavior for subscription-based crowdfunding than for traditional time-limited crowdfunding. We contribute to IS research by highlighting the individual nuances of supporters’ motivation to participate in subscription-based crowdfunding campaigns. Additionally, our findings serve as practical advice to practitioners (e.g., creators and crowdfunding platforms).","PeriodicalId":13660,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems and e-Business Management","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148355588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do this, on the one hand, the firm seeks external partners who can provide add-on complementary services to fill the resource gap and offer bundled services. On the other hand, the underlying process of this digital transformation involves incorporating digital elements within the existing services and leveraging digital technologies to foster collaboration and integration between the firm and the complementors, thereby, making both digital and non-digital elements integral to the process. Yet, progression of digital transformation strategy and creation of ensuing digital ecosystem have thus far, mostly, been studied in silos, lacking a holistic alignment between the two. This study addresses this gap and using an in-depth qualitative longitudinal case study set in life insurance context, follows the progression of a firm’s top-down digital transformation strategy being implemented and the subsequent process of creating a digital rewards-based insurance ecosystem model. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":13660,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems and e-Business Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145919760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, many entrepreneurs found startups on the basis of digital technology. Many others, however, are not digitalizing. This raises a question for research, what are the roles of digitalization, specifically for turning an entrepreneur’s entrepreneurial orientation into innovation performance in the startup? A globally representative sample of 22,508 entrepreneurs was surveyed by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, reporting on digitalization and likely sources and consequences. The effect of an entrepreneur’s entrepreneurial orientation upon innovation performance in the startup is found to be moderated but not mediated by digitalization. As a distinct and separate capability, digitalization, alongside entrepreneurial orientation, is promoting innovation performance. Findings contribute to accounting for the roles of digitalization in startups.","PeriodicalId":13660,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems and e-Business Management","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145919762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To demonstrate the potential of these modern approaches, we conducted a structured literature review and comparative analysis of 189 contributions to explore the differences between data platforms, data spaces, data fabrics and data meshes, highlighting their unique advantages in terms of governance mode and application area. Throughout our delimitation, the study reveals that data platforms and data fabrics offer centralized structures, ensuring control, accessibility, and streamlined management while decentralized data meshes and data spaces prioritize flexibility. We provide a data management matrix that provides valuable insights for organizations seeking to optimize their data management strategies in the sharing economy.","PeriodicalId":13660,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems and e-Business Management","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145919761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
