This study explores the tactics complementors use to maintain superior visibility on these platforms. Building on competitive repertoire theory, we conceptualize two categories of competitive actions that capture the dual environmental complexity faced by complementors: <em>inside</em> and <em>outside</em> competitive moves. We assemble a unique dataset from a leading food delivery platform in Europe, providing a comprehensive view of complementors’ competitive repertoires and visibility over ten months. We find that complementors’ inside competitive repertoires with high volume and complexity are associated with sustained superior visibility. However, we also find that complementors whose competitive repertoires diverge from those of their competitors are more likely to exit the superior visibility strata. Additionally, we identify outside action repertoires as a second pathway to differentiation, built on complementors’ idiosyncratic resources and less dependent on platform architecture and rules.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50541,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142572551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that in some cases, all trade-in models generated higher manufacturing costs than models with no trade-in program. However, in other cases, not all trade-in models can cope with manufacturing costs that are higher than those associated with models that have no trade-in program. Furthermore, both above two firms will offer the trade-ins when profits which they have obtained satisfied a certain condition. We also identified an interesting phenomenon whereby the manufacturer decided whether it wanted to delegate the trade-ins to the e-commerce platform or provide it jointly. The e-commerce platform can decide whether it wants to accept the delegation or jointly offer it. This study also obtain that trade-in models makes customers get more surplus and can produce greater environmental benefits. Moreover, both the customer surplus and the environmental benefits in delegated trade-in model is the same that in jointly trade-in model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50541,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both channels can match consumers’ demand for on-site experiences. However, the two modes differ in terms of service cost, demand promotion efficiency, and channel differentiation generation. The article considers three channel structures: single online channel, online channel with physical store, and online channel with physical showroom, as well as two scenarios: non-competitive and competitive. This study examines whether online retailers should integrate offline channels and which offline channel mode they should use by comparing the profit changes of themselves and rivals when three channel structures are adopted in two scenarios. It is found that: (i) If there is a significant difference between the online and physical store channels, providing physical stores help online retailer raise profits. If the physical showroom is highly effective at promoting demand, omnichannel retailers will dominate the entire online market, and expanding physical showrooms is always profitable; (ii) Whether in a competitive or non-competitive environment, online retailers should weigh channel differentiation and the efficiency of the offline channel modes in promoting demand to select the best channel mode; (iii) Due to channel differentiation, online retailers’ creation of physical stores, as well as increasing competition among physical stores, will have no impact on rival retailers. However, providing physical showrooms will result in lower sales volume and revenue for rival retailers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50541,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is currently a rare comprehensive study on the knowledge contribution pattern of consistently active participants and the moderating role of peer recognition, which can help improve low participation and reengage inactive users, despite researchers having examined the various facets of knowledge contribution and made helpful suggestions. As per the self-determination and social cognitive theory, the communal environment impacts peers and imitates role models or reliable sources in their involvement patterns. We have examined StackOverflow’s most reliable active users from 2010 to 2020 using the social cognition and self-determination theories to use the findings to reactivate dormant users. We have used a two-step dynamic system GMM model to get robust and reliable findings. The research discovered that peer repudiation, reputation, and online social interactions favorably affect the contributed knowledge. However, knowledge-seeking and earning virtual badges such as gold and bronze usually negatively impact it. Furthermore, it was revealed that the effect of virtual badges on contributed knowledge was positively moderated by peer recognition. However, peer recognition reduces the benefits of social interaction and reputation on the contributed knowledge.
