    Reading between the lines: Legal risk mitigation by equity crowdfunding platforms
    (ECIS 2018 Proceedings, 2018-11-28) Podar, Manan; Arenas, Álvaro; Goh, Jie Mein; Anand, Ambuj; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    The use of equity crowdfunding as a source of financing has rapidly gained traction. The key motivation of funders on such equity crowdfunding platforms (ECPs) is high financial returns, which is also associated with greater risk for all stakeholders: creators, funders and ECPs. We explore legal risk mitigation by ECPs in this paper and develop a taxonomy of legally mitigated risks. Content analysis of Terms of Service and Privacy Policy contracts of 17 most popular ECPs each, results in 544 references of legally mitigated risks and a taxonomy of 12 first level items and 18 second level items. We find that platforms fear and mitigate for risks associated with Information Security and Third Party most. The importance attached to Third Party risks is especially interesting. This theory and experience based systematic and comprehensive taxonomy of legally mitigated risks would not only help users understand a rapidly evolving phenomenon but also will help regulators monitor compliance issues.

    How does IT affect design centricity approaches: Evidence from Spain’s smart tourism ecosystem
    (Elsevier, 2019-04) Arenas, Álvaro; Goh, Jie Mein; Urueña, Alberto; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Little or no prior work has examined how information technology enables the development of a design centered digital ecosystem. To examine this research question, we employ a capabilities lens and identify the pathways through which IT drives the development of a design centric smart tourism ecosystem. We analyzed archival data and data collected from interviews conducted in Spain, a country which has embarked on smart destinations projects and topped the World Economic Forum’s Travel and Competitiveness Index. From our analysis, we delineate and identify specific IT-enabled capabilities important for a country implementing smart tourism projects. We find that many of the IT resources available help develop key capabilities necessary for creating a design centric smart tourism ecosystem.

    Understanding workers’ adoption of productivity mobile applications. fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA)
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Urueña, Alberto; Hidalgo, Antonio; Arenas, Álvaro; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets become more present in our lives every day. Most of these devices use the Android operating system (O.S.),becoming the most popular O.S. for mobile devices. For these devices,there i. huge offer of application software that provides answers to users’ different needs. This study aims to analyse how combinations of personality factors,sociodemographic variables and Internet use influence the adoption of productivity mobile apps by workers. To achieve this. combination of these variables is analysed using fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA.) that allows us to analyse complex complementarities among factors. The results show the importance of distinct personality traits–extraversion and agreeableness–to understand the adoption of these services. Our study also provides relevant insight for software developers to target segments interested in the use of productivity software in their mobile devices. © 2018 The Author(s).
