However, EM platform providers (platform owners)/ have limited authority over independent sellers, who often connect with several platforms, referred to as multihoming behaviors. An effective control portfolio serves as a crucial tool for owners to influence sellers' actions in alignment with the goals of the EM platform. For a control portfolio to be effective, it must be aligned with the prevailing contextual factors. This paper investigates the key antecedent factors that influence the control choices made by EM platform owners. By probing what factors guide EM platform owners in selecting specific control modes in this multi-case study, this research extends control theory into the relatively unexplored context of EM. The study identifies seven antecedent factors influencing owners' control mode choices: task programmability, outcome measurability, behavior observability, interdependencies, uncertain controlee motivations, internalization of controller objectives, and reciprocity norms. Based on these findings, the paper proposes explanations for the prominence of formal controls and the selective inclusion of informal control mechanisms in EM seller control portfolios, offering insights for practitioners and future research. The study findings help EM platform owners create a balanced portfolio of contextually appropriate control mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100555"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143031413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the global pool of resources available on digital platforms and the known benefits of information, knowledge, and networking, the international entrepreneurship literature has accorded limited attention to the role of time, temporality, and digital context in international opportunity creation. Drawing on action research from a longitudinal case study, we investigate how digital international opportunity (IO) creation unfolds on an online community platform engaging relevant knowledgeable experts. We explore the early stage of internationalization of a Finnish startup with innovative technology searching for ways to access international markets during the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on this research we present a two-cycle process model explaining how IO creation occurs in a digital context and a short period of time. We show how a set of actions and their related mechanisms enable IO creation through digital platforms. Our study advances understandings of IO creation and role of digital platforms in international entrepreneurship by illuminating how early internationalizing firms engage in the creation of international opportunities online.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100554"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Entrepreneurs continuously engage with various external actors during their venture's lifecycle, utilizing these interactions to source opportunities, knowledge and resources, while shaping the project vision. However, the mechanisms governing digital innovation sourcing remain unclear. This paper proposes an entrepreneurial storytelling perspective to bridge this gap. We study the case of digital innovation sourcing by analyzing the crowdfunding story of Pebble Time, the most successful Kickstarter campaign to date. Using digital archival sources, we trace Pebble's approach over the course of the campaign. Our findings contribute to the digital innovation literature by demonstrating how the company's efforts allowed diverse actors to participate collectively and affect the entrepreneurial story over time. We identify four modes of actions that digital ventures employ in the collective construction of entrepreneurial narratives: nudging, pushing, scanning, and highlighting. We suggest that the modes of digital action enable digital innovation sourcing when crafting a compelling narrative in the digital age.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100552"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142889358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We however, provide evidence that, instead of alleviating social inequalities, use of DTs (re)produced and exacerbated these inequalities in disparate forms, for an already marginalized population. Based on a qualitative study of employees from five microfinance institutions (MFIs) in India that offer uncollateralized group loans to poor rural women, our findings demonstrate how the pursuit of financial gains through DTs in providing microfinance exacerbated mission drift in MFIs, leading to reduced quality and depth of outreach. The use of DTs undermined social and human capital development — both crucial for alleviating poverty — and widened exclusion rather than bridging the gap. We explicate the quality of outreach (i.e., quality of services provided) as an additional dimension of social outreach, alongside the depth of outreach (i.e., reaching poorer borrowers) for understanding mission drift. Our findings call for consideration of existing intersectional social inequalities when leveraging DTs for social causes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100541"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of this information by a proprietary AI model, rather than using FDI designed to learn about the characteristics of country markets as proxies to predict the general behaviour of consumers located there, provides a new, country-agnostic way to enter foreign markets and adapt to differences among consumers based on segments of one. AI can, therefore, enable born-digital firms, and potentially other businesses where digitalisation can play a role, to build new kinds of competitive advantages based on data network effects.
