A systematic analysis of the quality of elderly care services from the perspective of the supply chain will help provide decision-making reference for improving the quality of elderly care services. The evaluation index system of elderly care services` quality is constructed from the perspective of the integrated SCOR model. The integrated DEMATEL-ISM-TOPSIS method is proposed for evaluation and analysis. The research pointed out the surface and deep influencing factors as well as the weight of each evaluation factor of the elderly care services` quality. The interpretative structure model was constructed to point out the hierarchical relationship and the principal-subordinate logical relationship of each evaluation factor. The weight of the quality factors of elderly care services was obtained, and the applicability of the model and method was verified by an evaluation case of elderly service institutions.","PeriodicalId":54045,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48203173","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}

Wearable technologies (WT) are Internet enabled technologies that are rapidly emerging and gaining popularity. WT refers to clothing or accessories that are enabled with minicomputers and sensors and are meant to be worn on the human body for an extended period of time to enhance their daily lives. Results indicate the most important factors that users care about when intending to use wearable technology ranked from most to least important are design, data accuracy, portability, comfortability, PU, PEOU, safety, and privacy of the device to be worn. This study develops the WTM, a novel model that is tested and validated specifically to examine user’s intentions to adopt WT, and to extend the traditional technology acceptance models.

Based on the open innovation theory and knowledge-based view (KBV), this study develops a research model to investigate how the structure and mechanisms of innovation crowdsourcing influence firms' knowledge management and innovation performance. The model was tested using structural equation modeling based on a dataset from the Microsoft community for business intelligence tools. The results show that both organizational and technical mechanisms of the community positively influence the community structure. The community structure positively influences knowledge acquisition, knowledge transformation, and the size and diversity of crowd participation. In turn, innovation crowdsourcing mechanisms and knowledge transformation have a strong influence on innovation performance.","PeriodicalId":54045,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48316797","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}

Without doubt, it could be said that e-commerce has become indispensable in our lives. Recent global pandemic has increased e-commerce adoption by elderly people even further as the sole way of buying their needs. This paper studies the direct and indirect effects of product portfolio in B2C e-commerce web sites on customers’ purchase intention through perceived value and brand loyalty. SEM method was used to test the hypotheses. The results of the study indicate that product portfolio does not have a direct effect on purchase intention. However, it does have an indirect influence on purchase intention through perceived value and brand loyalty. As a result, this study validates the extant literature by confirming the mediating role of brand loyalty between the relationship between perceived value and purchase intention. The findings obtained are believed to provide significant contribution to the related e-commerce literature.","PeriodicalId":54045,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49578230","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}

The results indicated that payment intention is influenced by both functional value and trust. Functional value includes price utility and information quality, whereas trust includes trust in doctors and trust in community. We did not find the effect of emotional value and social value on payment intention. The results imply that OHC need to create a trustworthy climate and offer utilitarian value to users in order to facilitate their payment intention.","PeriodicalId":54045,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47941598","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}

However, many initiatives take an organizational perspective, whereas service encounters emphasize the client perspective. This research follows a participative design research approach that focuses on the derivation, demonstration and infusion of principles for improved service encounters. A role-playing game refers to a situation in which human participants play a certain role and follow a script to simulate complex service encounters. From the perspective of the professional, these principles emphasize “doing the right things†in their service encounters with customers. The authors found that the approach for deriving principles not only enables capturing the experience of professionals in a fun and entertaining manner, but also expands their view on customers and the back-office. This paper makes two contributions to existing work: (1) a participative design method based on role-play games and (2) six principles for service encounters resulting from the role-playing game.","PeriodicalId":54045,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems in the Service Sector","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70494070","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}
