Collective Information System Use: A Typological Theory
Authors: Bogdan Negoita, Liette Lapointe and Suzanne Rivard
Publication: MIS Quarterly, Vol. 42 Issue 4, 1281-1301, 2018
Abstract:
As the nature of information systems (IS) has evolved from primarily standalone, to enterprise, and distributed applications, the need for a better understanding of collective IS use has become a research and practical necessity. In view of contributing to this understanding, we conceptually define collective IS use as a unit level construct, rooted in instances of individual-level IS use within the context of a common work process. Its emergence from the individual to the unit level is shaped by different configurations of task, user, and system interdependence between instances of individual-level IS use. On the basis of this definition, we propose a typology of collective IS use that comprises four ideal types, namely siloed use, processual use, coalesced use, and networked use. For each ideal type, we theorize on the emergence process from the individual to the unit level and we consider the measurement implications for each.
Broadening knowledge on AI in healthcare
Desautels doctoral student Rania Afiouni Monla has found herself in the right place at the right time: studying the impact of AI in organizational learning and healthcare in a city that has emerged as an AI powerhouse.
She sits down to share her journey so far, including her involvement in the Montreal declaration on responsible AI and the challenges of returning to school after many years.
Professor Ramaprasad appointed Associate Editor of Management Science
Jui Ramaprasad, Associate Professor in Information Systems, was recently appointed as Associate Editor to Management Science.
A newly-launched coalition for responsible AI
Professor Emmanuelle Vaast is one among ten 平特五不中 members who comprise the new International Observatory on the Social Impacts of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies (OIISIAN) - a $7.5 million initiative spearheaded by the government of Quebec to explore interdisciplinary and intersectoral perspectives on the impact of AI and digital technology on individuals, organizations, and communities.
Announcing the Desautels Faculty Scholars

Why patients support each other in healthcare virtual support communities
Recent research co-authored by Professor Alain Pinsonneault examines the growing popularity of healthcare virtual support communities (HVSCs) as a means of complementing/supplementing face-to-face support.
The study鈥檚 findings reveal ways that virtual support community designers and healthcare organisations can optimize such platforms for effective social support exchanges.
Extrinsic versus Intrinsic Rewards for Contributing Reviews in an Online Platform
Authors: Warut Khern-am-nuai, Karthik Kannan, Hossein Ghasemkhani
Publication: Information Systems Research, Forthcoming
础产蝉迟谤补肠迟:听
Firms have considered various forms of incentives for writing reviews, including the use of extrinsic rewards to attract reviewers. Building on this literature, we study the implications of monetary incentives on online reviews in the context of a natural experiment, where one review platform suddenly began offering monetary incentives for writing reviews. We refer to this as the treated platform. Along with data from Amazon.com and using the difference-in-differences approach, we compare the quantity and quality of reviews before and after rewards were introduced in the treated platform. We find that reviews are significantly more positive but that the quality decreases. Taking advantage of the panel data, we also evaluate the effect of rewards on existing reviewers. We find that their level of participation after monetary incentives decreases but not their quality of participation. Last, even though the platform enjoys an increase in the number of new reviewers, disproportionately more reviews appear to be written for highly rated products.
