From the Editor

Welcome to the second issue of Volume 40. This issue includes five articles. The first article, entitled “Does Engaging in Data Philanthropy Impact Business Value?” by Jordana J. George, Jie Yan, Dorothy E. Leidner, and Pranjal Awasthi, examines the impact of data philanthropy activities on business value as determined by financial markets. The results show that large scale data collaboratives resulted in global benefits. However, contrary to expectations, data philanthropy participation either produced no impact or a negative impact when data openness or the number of partners increased. A unifying analytical theory describing the board of director’s involvement in IT governance is proposed by Moksh Matta, Hasan Cavusoglu, and Izak Benbasat in their article “Understanding the Board’s Involvement in Information Technology Governance.” This framework uncovers and formalizes the role of the board as aggregator of domainand firm-specific IT knowledge. In the third article entitled, “How Information Technology Governance Influences Organizational Agility: The Role of Market Turbulence,” authors Moustafa Elazhary, Aleš Popovič, Paulo Henrique de Souza Bermejo, and Tiago Oliveira capture the relationship between IT governance and organizational agility by extending the resource-based view with the dynamic capabilities view. Their model was tested with a survey of senior managers, revealing that IT capability and innovation capability fully mediate the effect of IT governance on organizational agility. Next, authors Klaudia Martinek-Jaguszewska and Waldemar Rogowski create a Business Process Automation Maturity Model in their article, “Development and validation of the Business Process Automation Maturity Model: Results of the Delphi study.” The new maturity model was validated with a Delphi panel comprised of 10 independent domain experts. Finally, in the last of the five articles, entitled “Antecedents and Moderators of Promotion Messages for Trust in Mobile Banking Services: An Elaboration Likelihood Model Perspective,” authors Kinana Jammoul, Habin Lee, Jisun Kim, Moongil Yoon, and Uthayasankar Sivarajah determine how communication messages from mobile banking services are interpreted by receivers to increase their trust in mobile banking. A survey of mobile banking users found that both argument quality and trustworthiness of the communication had positive effects on trust in mobile banking services. Further, users with strong privacy and security concerns are more likely to rely on the quality of arguments in the messages.
