Abstract: Our knowledge on differences in business model characteristics of thriving and failing Multi-Sided Platforms in competitive B2B networks (B2B-MSP) and potential influences of increasing governmental involvement remains fragmented. This study develops a taxonomy to classify special B2B-MSP with varying governmental influence in the supply chain and transportation context, viz. Port and Cargo Community Systems (CS). Based on the classification of 44 international CS, we identify four archetypes using cluster analysis. The taxonomy provides practitioners with a differentiated view on the configuration options of CS business models including the involvement of governmental institutions, while the presented archetypes contribute an aggregated view of CS business models. The statistical analysis of our results provides initial explanatory approaches on CS business model dimension interdependencies, thereby laying the basis for a deeper understanding of sectoral and geographic differences of B2B-MSP and their diffusion dynamics as well as facilitating a higher contextualization of future research.

Abstract: Security research recognizes the effect of “being seen” in reducing the likelihood of security violations in the workplace. This has typically been construed in the context of formal monitoring processes by employers, but there is an emerging notion that workers care about what their workplace colleagues think of them and their activities. We leverage this idea of the “Eyes of Others” in motivating pro-security behaviors to apply to security contexts. We find that, for a set of worker self-perceptions including Morality and Self-Consciousness, the likelihood of engaging in mundane workplace security violations is impacted by the knowledge that coworkers are watching. This has important implications for novel expansions of deterrence research in IS Security, going forward. Collapse

Abstract: E-business industry and consumers are struggling to find a balance between consumers' privacy and the promotion of the development of online business. Regulation has widely been considered as an appropriate way to resolve regulatory conflicts in e-commerce. A multitude of surveys have investigated privacy attitudes, revealing a general desire among Internet users to protect their privacy. This paper concentrates on the tension between e-commerce, privacy concerns, and user behavior in Austria with a special focus on the detection of demographic attributes that influence users' perception of privacy issues. The authors present both a conceptual framework and empirical findings pertaining to privacy awareness and user behavior. Our results show that the willingness to provide personal data over the Internet to a certain extent depends on (socio-) demographic characteristics such as gender, knowledge, and experience.
