Technology is largely defined by the person using it, and this revelation rapidly grew alongside with the proliferation of personal computers in our daily life. Information system has long exceeded the function as a point-to-point communication tool, and becomes a vibrant social platform that carries contents created by individual users and facilitates sophisticated social interactions between large groups of people. The ability for users to mold and shape this process to customize their virtual experience also affects other users [1, 2].

In fact, organizations are increasingly moving away from traditional licenses in favor of open source licenses. However, extant literature reports conflicting findings regarding the impact of different open source licenses on the success of the project. Through this research, we attempt to reconcile the conflicting findings in literature by providing a more nuanced understanding of the mechanisms through which the type of license influences the success of the project. Using propensity score matching and ordinary least squares regression analysis on a sample of 2110 organization owned open source projects, we compare the structures of work across the two main types of licenses and study its relation to the success of the project. The results of our analysis indicate that different motivational mechanisms are at play under different licenses, which in turn has an influence on the optimal structures of work for a particular license. From these results we conclude that the success of the project depends on how well the structures of work are aligned to the motivational requirements created by the license. The findings provide significant insights for open source researchers and organizations as to how they can model the structures of work to facilitate the success of open source projects.","PeriodicalId":441637,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGMIS Conference on Computers and People Research","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125956254","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 problem may be more severe when a firm and its rivals enter into outsourcing relationships with the same vendor. In such a network of outsourcing relationships, the common vendor may become the conduit for knowledge leakage from one firm to the other due to its own opportunistic calculus. Rooted in transaction cost economics (TCE), we propose that a vendor will utilize the knowledge gained from focal or rival firms whenever it is in the interest of the vendor to do so, resulting in losses or gains to rivals of a focal firm when the focal firm announces a new contract with the common vendor. Using a sample of 510 IT outsourcing contract announcements, we observed such losses and gains through cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) that accrue to rival firms around the date of announcement of a new IT outsourcing contract by a focal firm. Results support our hypotheses and show negative CARs for rivals that in the past had a relationship with the focal vendor but do not have a current relationship with the vendor. We also find that the rival firm size relative to the focal firm size plays an important role in vendor calculus and resulting knowledge spillovers. Knowledge leaks from a rival to a focal firm, and the rival experiences a negative CAR, when the rival is relatively larger in size compared to the focal firm and is no longer in a relationship with the vendor. However, in contrast, when the rival is relatively larger in size compared to the focal firm and is currently in a relationship with the vendor, knowledge leaks from the focal firm to the rival who experiences a positive CAR.","PeriodicalId":441637,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGMIS Conference on Computers and People Research","volume":"139 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128891704","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}

Increasingly, both individuals as well as organizations are adopting FLOSS as a viable mode of software development because of the multifarious advantages it offers with respect to evolved coordination and motivational mechanisms. Further, organizations are discovering that FLOSS projects are often able to create software that surpasses proprietary software in terms of quality and functionality. For example, in a 2013 study of 750 C/C++ FLOSS projects, it was found that the quality of FLOSS projects surpassed that of proprietary software [1].

Since numerous years, almost every organization in the European Union is affected by the skill shortage of qualified IT employees. Facing this challenge, the education of IT employees is considered one of the major issues by organizations and governmental institutions. Furthermore, IT professions are still dominated by men and women are widely underrepresented. From a theoretical perspective, the topic why women choose an IT career is discussed within IS research so far. Thereby, previous research also reveals that organizations often face challenges to retain female IT employees, and that turnaway and turnover of employees represent a serious issue. In the meantime, different institutions within the educational system (e.g. schools, universities, institutions for vocational education) take various approaches to give young women an understanding of IT and its work environment. On closer consideration of the educational system in general, multiple ways become apparent that enable access to IT professions: secondary and higher education as well as further education. This literature review reveals how the underrepresentation of women in IT professions is focused within IS research regarding the stages of educational systems.","PeriodicalId":441637,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGMIS Conference on Computers and People Research","volume":"111 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117312265","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}
