    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.

    ‘Cloud Security’: cómo migrar datos a la nube minimizando riesgos
    (Harvard Deusto, 2020) Arenas, Álvaro; Aparicio, Fernando; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Las organizaciones están migrando a los servicios en la nube (también conocidos como ‘cloud computing’), algunas con más cautela que otras, conscientes de los riesgos de seguridad inherentes no solo a lo que se refiere a la computación ‘cloud’, sino también al propio proceso de migración. En este artículo exponemos los usos y ventajas para el márketing de la migración a la nube, los principales desafíos que plantea este proceso y cómo debemos abordar una estrategia segura de ‘cloud computing’

    Impact of digital leadership capability on innovation performance: The role of platform digitization capability
    (Elsevier, 2022-03) Benitez, Jose; Arenas, Álvaro; Castillo, Ana; Esteves, José; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Following a mixed-methods approach, we theorized that digital leadership influences innovation performance by digitalizing the firm's platform. A multiple case study of ten companies was deployed to derive a theoretical model relating digital leadership and innovation performance. The resulting model was empirically tested on a sample of 117 European firms. We find that digital leadership improves a firm's innovation performance by digitalizing the firm's platform. We contribute to IS research by theoretically developing the concepts of digital leadership capability and platform digitization capability and empirically analyzing the relationship of these two critical IT capabilities and their impact on innovation performance.
