Drawing upon the dual theory of passion, this research explores how game design mechanics shape the dualistic experience of passion (i.e., harmonious versus obsessive passion) in mobile gaming consumption. Our netnographic study involved a 2-year participatory observation of an online mobile game community named Empires and Puzzles, culminating in 10,927 posts and nine relevant forum topics. Seven interviews with game developers were also conducted. Our findings reveal that specific mobile game mechanics, namely farming, loot boxing, and raiding, influence the transition from harmonious passion (HP) to obsessive passion (OP) through a pathway characterized by pre-occupying, whilst the recovery mechanism that facilitates the transition from OP back to HP include alleviating. Such findings foreground the theoretical importance of moving beyond a static perspective of gaming engagement. This study contributes to information system literature by developing an empirically grounded framework for understanding the mechanisms underlying the influence of game design on the dualistic nature of mobile gaming passion. Persistent public criticism and government skepticism can impede game businesses. Our insights have the potential to generate positive social impacts by promoting responsible game design to alleviate resistance and skepticism.","PeriodicalId":47264,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141882894","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}

Empirical data on Scope 3 carbon emissions from 2010 to 2022, which covered both fintech and traditional (non-fintech) financial firms, were collected from Bloomberg. All data were subjected to ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. Generalised method of moments (GMM) was performed to deal with potential endogeneity issues. The significant negative relationship between Scope 3 carbon emissions and market performance in this study implied investors’ concerns about the environmental impacts. With the noticeably lower carbon emissions, indicating the adoption of an eco-friendly orientation, fintech financial firms demonstrated positive relationship between their market performance and Scope 3 carbon emissions. Meanwhile, the results revealed otherwise for non-fintech financial firms. It is recommended for future research to consider the qualitative approach, such as structured or semi-structured interviews, to further validate the quantitative results of the current study. This study demonstrated the significant role of fintech financial firms in environmental stewardship, specifically with their markedly lower Scope 3 carbon emissions. Their approaches and practices can benefit ESG implementors in designing and implementing more effective and responsible operational models. Despite the current global challenges, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing environmental awareness and concerns, this study commended the sustainable approaches of fintech financial firms, which served as a benchmark for ESG initiatives. This can potentially boost their ESG ratings and market standing. To date, the relationship between Scope 3 carbon emissions and market performance and the moderating role of fintech on this relationship have remained underexplored, which were addressed in the current study.","PeriodicalId":47264,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141741048","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}

This research aims to assess the predictive accuracy of sentiment analysis in the stock market by constructing a reinforced model that integrates both sentiment and technical analysis. While prior studies have concentrated on social media sentiment for stock price prediction, this research introduces an enhanced model that combines sentiment analysis with technical indicators to improve the precision of stock market prediction. The study creates and evaluates predictive models for stock prices and trends using a substantial dataset of tweets from twenty prominent companies. Finally the re-enforced model has been developed and tested on the stock prices of: Apple, General Electric, Ford Motors and Amazon. The deliberate selection of these companies, each representing distinct industry sectors, serves a dual purpose. It not only facilitates a practical evaluation of our model across diverse market conditions but also ensures computational feasibility, allowing for a focused and detailed analysis of the model’s predictive accuracy and reliability in various economic landscapes. The study’s outcomes offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of the reinforced model, which combines sentiment and technical analysis to predict stock market movements, providing a more comprehensive approach to understanding market sentiment’s influence on stock prices. Furthermore, these findings contribute to the existing knowledge on stock market prediction techniques and emphasize the importance of considering multiple factors in decision-making.\u0000","PeriodicalId":47264,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141503524","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}

In this study, we have created a dynamic model that explores the competition between in-house applications (IHA) and third-party applications (TPA) within the platform ecosystem, which includes a single platform and APP developer. By utilizing simulation techniques on the dynamic model, we have identified notable factors that impact the stability of the APP competition system, including: the adjustment speed of IHA, APP heterogeneity, and TPA fees. Our findings are as follows: (1) A higher adjustment speed of IHA leads to increased system instability, resulting in a chaotic state and reduced profitability for both IHA and TPA. (2) We discovered that APP competition systems with either high or low APP heterogeneity are more prone to instability. (3) In relation to TPA fees, higher fees tend to foster greater instability within the platform ecosystem, while also increasing IHA profits. (4) We incorporate the time-delayed feedback control(TDFC) method to regulate intricate phenomena. In periods of instability, the utilization of the TDFC method can significantly mitigate the instability.","PeriodicalId":47264,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141256636","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}

The study analysed 2250 observation of the UK. listed firms for the period of 2011–2020. The results of the current study show a significant and positive relationship between the extent of CSD and the board size, board independence and board meeting; in terms of board gender diversity yielded an insignificant and positive relationship with the extent of CSD. The findings indicate that firms with more independent and larger board, and high meeting frequency promote cybersecurity transparency and reduce related information asymmetric with stakeholders. The analyses have implications for policymakers, top management, corporate executives and practitioners.

However, most existing research on image sentiment analysis has focused more on developing sentiment classification models rather than exploring specific factors contributing to image sentiment. Therefore, this study proposes a methodology for extracting color palettes to represent image sentiments, emphasizing the significance of color palettes as highlighted in various studies. Previous approaches to color palette extraction have included heuristic methods, survey-based selection, or utilizing clustering algorithms like K-means clustering based on color frequencies in images. In this study, we calculate the influence scores of colors for classifying image sentiments and propose deriving representative sentiment-color palettes based on these scores. Initially, we train a multi-label classification model to predict the sentiment labels of images and then create datasets for distorted images where pixels corresponding to specific colors are removed. By comparing the model outputs obtained from these distorted images with the original dataset, we obtain quantitative influence scores of colors for classifying sentiment labels. Furthermore, we extract sentiment-color palettes consisting of four important colors for 30 different sentiments. Experimental results demonstrate higher evaluation scores compared to previous studies.","PeriodicalId":47264,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research","volume":"148 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140926702","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}

Based on this background, we consider there are two strategies of an e-commerce platform to introduce a showroom channel, i.e., self-build strategy and cooperation strategy. Then we build theoretical models by characterising cost inefficiency of self-build strategy and information asymmetry of cooperation strategy in the platform supply chain. Next, we derive the optimal decisions under different strategies, and investigate the advantage of different strategies. Last, we explore the strategic introduction of the showroom channel in the platform supply chain. We find the following results. (1) Under cooperation strategy, the platform can strategically design two different cooperation contracts to the retailer, i.e., full incentive contract and partial incentive contract. Moreover, the retailer may be hurt by a higher demand due to information asymmetry under cooperation strategy. (2) Self-build strategy generates information advantage and cooperation strategy brings channel advantage, which jointly affect the optimal showroom channel strategy of the platform. To be more specific, when high-type demand of the retailer is relatively high and reservation profit of the retailer is relatively low, channel advantage dominates information advantage, then the platform will choose cooperation strategy. (3) Under some conditions, the optimal strategy of the platform is not in line with the optimal ones of the whole supply chain. Then we design a side payment contract to achieve Pareto improvement.","PeriodicalId":47264,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140926698","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}

Third-party developers can provide extensions to these ecosystems to enhance the platforms’ functionality, but third-party developers’ role in e-commerce ecosystems’ success and generativity remains underexamined in academia. The present study scrutinizes the efficacy of boundary resources in attracting and managing third-party developers in e-commerce ecosystems. This investigation is predicated upon qualitative data gathered through interviews with 14 domain experts. The insights derived from these interviews have culminated in the formulation of seven design principles. These design principles are envisaged to serve as a guiding framework for owners of innovation and transaction platforms within the e-commerce sphere, facilitating the strategic deployment of boundary resources. It is anticipated that collaboration, value creation, and the overall generative capacity as well as the success of e-commerce ecosystems shall be considerably enhanced.","PeriodicalId":47264,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140889420","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}
