This paper examines the effects of social context economic exchange on governance transactions in buyer-supplier relations between firms. We distinguish three dimensions embeddedness transactions, namely, repeated partners (temporal embeddedness), with third parties such as other firms (network embeddedness) and institutions that allow for credible agreements commitments (institutional embeddedness). Together transaction characteristics, shapes trust problems how mitigate through contractual...

Classical network theory states that social networks are a form of capital because they provide access to resources. In this article, we propose effects differ between collectivistic and individualistic contexts. context, resource sharing will be “value based.” It is expected members group support each other share contrast, in an more often based on reciprocity trust. Hence, hypothesized beneficial individual contexts compared with context. We found partial for our hypotheses.

Humans increasingly interact with AI systems, and successful interactions rely on individuals trusting such systems (when appropriate). Considering that trust is fragile often cannot be restored quickly, we focus how develops over time in a human-AI-interaction scenario. In 2x2 between-subject experiment, test model accuracy (high vs. low) type of explanation (human-like not) affect time. We study complex decision-making task which estimate jail for 20 criminal law cases advice. Results show...

This article considers determinants of innovative performance entrepreneurs in developing countries. Innovation is viewed from a personal initiative perspective. We distinguish two mechanisms through which who show are innovative. The first mechanism business planning. second the acquisition resources that can be accessed social network relations. argue depend on context innovation. Planning will more beneficial dynamic environments. In and individualistic-oriented environments it to...

In this article we empirically test stage models of e-government development. We use Lee's classification to make a distinction between four stages e-government: informational, requests, personal, and e-democracy. draw on comprehensive data set the adoption development activities in 510 Dutch municipalities over period 2004–2009. Our results show that progression through is mostly linear. However, it seems single dimension insufficient explain at level more specific features e-government....

Adoption rates of mobile financial services within sub-Saharan Africa still appear to be below par. The 2016 Groupe Spéciale Mobile Association report shows that over 60 per cent the adult population in sub- Saharan do not use services. We investigate how cognitive resources, namely, phone skills and English literacy, influence test our hypotheses using a sample 208 individuals from an urban location Central Uganda. measure actual skill newly developed scale. results show marginal increase...

Complementing human decision-making with AI advice offers substantial advantages. However, humans do not always trust appropriately and are overly sensitive to incidental errors, even in cases overall good performance. Today's research still needs uncover the underlying aspects of decline recovery over time repeated human-AI interactions. Our work investigates consequences error on (self-reported) participants' reliance advice. Results from our experiment, where 208 participants evaluated 14...

Predictors of contractor performance have attracted the attention researchers in developed world. However, research from sub-Saharan Africa to corroborate these findings has remained sparse. What exists is speculative and at best anecdotal. Using data construction firms Uganda, this study finds that commitment project, perceived value interorganizational cooperation, opportunistic behavior are significant predictors performance. This both policy managerial implications, which we present paper.

In this study, we examine the impact of social capital on entrepreneurial innovativeness in an African context. Social refers to resources that are embedded a durable network relationships. This article focuses specifically structure networks. There two main views relation between and performance. One view argues closed networks beneficial for cooperation resource sharing, which is needed implement innovation, while another constrain entrepreneurs, since it open provide entrepreneurs with...

SUMMARY This research focuses on the purchase of information technology (IT) products by small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in Netherlands. Based nationwide representative survey data (a total 1,252 IT transactions), considers problems that Dutch SMEs are faced with way which these dealt with. On average, 28 percent transaction completed without problems. If encountered, they mostly involve inadequate documentation (45 all transactions). Frequently mentioned problems, such as...

People are increasingly interacting with AI systems, but successful interactions depend on people trusting these systems only when appropriate. Since neither gaining trust in advice nor restoring lost after mistakes is warranted, we seek to better understand the development of and reliance sequential human-AI interaction scenarios. In a 2x2 between-subject simulated experiment, tested how model accuracy (high vs. low) explanation type (human-like abstract) affect for repeated interactions....

Strategic alliances between firms are inherently unstable, and many fail before the planned termination date. Most studies of instability strategic focus on internal factors, such as tensions alliance partners. In present study social networks, in particular centrality an network, considered factors explaining instability. The examines 1061 ICT-alliances that were formed period 1975–1989. As expected, it was found differences increase Contrary to expectation, sum centralities does not affect
