In parallel, each company needs to effectively manage information and knowledge to successfully implement its strategy. Thus, this study focuses on the points where knowledge, information, and entrepreneurial management meet, with special attention paid to the relationship between information management (IM) and knowledge management (KM) as well as their mediating roles in shaping firm performance. This study aims to identify the role of information management (IM) and knowledge management (KM) in shaping performance in entrepreneurial firms. Moreover, the study aims to examine the causal relationship between IM and KM. Our sample consisted of 150 small and medium-sized firms that manufacture furniture in Poland. This is a mix-method study; it uses structural equitation modeling (SEM), fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), and interview-based qualitative analysis to examine the associations among entrepreneurial orientation (EO), IM, KM, and firm performance. In particular, three types of outcomes are analyzed; namely, firm competitiveness (FC), firm growth (FG), and financial performance (FP). The results unveiled the impact of IM on KM; the findings also showed the positive role of EO in shaping IM and KM as well as firm performance. In general, IM and KM impact firm performance; however, their individual impacts depend on the performance type (when they interact, they constitute a sufficient condition for achieving a high level of performance regardless of the type). These findings contribute to the IM and KM literature as well as entrepreneurship and small business research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":21.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140951253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EP-mixed framework guides researchers in selecting appropriate analytical approaches based on their research goals and the type of theory being developed.

Through multiple linear regression analyses, we provide quantitative evidence on the relationship between thumbnail designs and the consumption of hedonic media goods. For both digital media platforms, we find that several classes of visual cues and more faces especially with negative emotions foster consumption, while more text decreases consumption. We also find several distinct impacts on consumption across the two digital media platforms that we explain with the different underlying business models. We contribute to the literature on visual information processing and choice, AI-based design, and platform and e-commerce strategies. Further, we supplement the inventory of Information Systems (IS) research methods by adding AI-based imagery analysis. We provide implications for practice concerning AI-based thumbnail design and strategic pathways for digital platforms and offer directions for future research.

Through case studies underpinned by interviews with named executives of ten organizations and complemented by an applicability check involving 14 executives, advisors and practice-oriented academics, this paper presents an empirically supported set of factors linked to successful AI-enabled business model transformation as well as a model of interactions between these factors.

Quality of care is a complex measure of healthcare performance that relies on optimizing healthcare knowledge. Knowledge management initiatives and practices in healthcare remain difficult to implement and develop – presenting a managerial challenge that must coexist in a competitive environment. This paper aims to study the contribution of knowledge-management systems, knowledge-sharing behavior, and competitive culture to the quality of care provided to patients. We use a mixed-methods approach to explore a research model in a sequence of two studies. Research data comes from a sample of 323 healthcare professionals in Portuguese healthcare organizations. Quantitative results show that both knowledge-management systems and a competitive culture positively influence the quality of care. Results also show a positive influence of knowledge-sharing behavior on the quality of care. Complementarily, qualitative results reveal two configurations leading to quality of care. The first highlights the role of knowledge-management systems alone as sufficient to provide quality of care. A second configuration involves cumulative contributions of competitive culture and individual knowledge sharing, leading to quality of care. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and a model for quality of care creation is offered. Limitations are acknowledged and future work directions are presented.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":21.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140622549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on these studies and interviews, we identify key factors influencing consumers’ willingness to pay for freemium services. Additionally, we test moderating effects across different monetization strategies (limited features vs. selling virtual items). The results reveal that the dimensions of perceived value (i.e., functional, hedonic, social, and price value), based on a free version of the service, serve as predictors for willingness to pay for freemium services. Trust in the service provider mediates the effects of dimensions of perceived value on willingness to pay for freemium services. The results also show that these relationships are influenced by the monetization strategy.
