Genuine theory testing, also under the term “replication research”, is rarely found in Information Systems (IS) research. Based on a replication’s results, our understanding or representation of the original theory is updated. This function of replication is integral to a scientific discipline to accumulate confidence in the explanatory power of a theory and to weed out theories that did not withstand scrutiny. However, many new theories are only tested once in the original study, while subsequent studies reference it without explicitly questioning the original theory. Against this background, we examine three aspects of the current state of replication studies in IS: (1) how many explicit replication studies in key IS research outlets have been published; (2) the attitudes of senior scholars, mostly prestigious IS journals’ editors, towards publishing replication research in their journals; and (3) a new policy proposal towards replication research broadly across all journals. We propose that all journals should take responsibility for publishing replications of theory or empirical results that have formerly been presented in that journal.

Zusammenfassung Apps für die Kontaktnachverfolgungen – so genannte Corona Tracing Apps – stellen einen essentiellen Teil der nationalen Strategien zur Bekämpfung des COVID-19 Virus dar. Mithilfe dieser Technologie sollen Infektionsketten effektiver nachvollzogen und schnellstmöglich unterbrochen werden. Corona Tracing Apps lassen sich aus Perspektive der Technik, der Entwicklung und der Funktionalität auf verschiedenste Weise gestalten. Aufgrund der Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten wurden seit dem Beginn der Coronapandemie mehr als 40 verschiede Apps entwickelt und in Europa veröffentlicht. Diese Vielfalt an Technologie wird zum Problem, da die Effektivität von Corona Tracing Apps davon abhängt, wieviel Bürger*innen dieselbe App nutzen. Dieser Beitrag widmet sich der Vielfalt verschiedener App Konfigurationen. Auf Basis einer morphologischen Analyse untersuchen wir, in welchen Aspekten sich die Apps unterscheiden und zeigen anschließend, dass sich diese Apps in zwei Archetypen unterscheiden lassen.

In design science research, two important challenges exist to achieve greater influence in research and practice: (1) foster frequent reuse of artifacts and design theories and (2) increase knowledge accumulation in the field. In this article, we argue that replication studies could support the accumulation and development of design theories to reach a state that encourages reuse of artifacts and design theories. However, it is unclear precisely how replication relates to design science research—that is, what outcomes replication produces and how researchers should apply it within design science research. This study proposes three overarching research questions ( Does the artifact provide utility? Is the design theory complete? What design theory components fit a larger context?) and eight categories for replication studies in design science research (Test, Redesign, Justification, Adaptation, Explanation, Update, Recreation, and Meta-Replication). We offer guidance to researchers, editors, and reviewers on how to conduct replication studies in design science research and why such studies are so critical. Our goal is to provide “food for thought” on the significance of design science research replication studies and, in turn, help facilitate their widespread implementation and publication. We conclude our study by highlighting areas for further discussion and investigation, such as defining replication procedures and conceptualizing genuine replication goals within design science research.

Aim This research aims to identify response strategies that non-profit organizations (NPOs) can apply to overcome the barriers that hamper the sustainable use of mobile health (mHealth) interventions in low-resource environments (LREs), such as in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Subject and method A qualitative study on mHealth initiatives in SSA is conducted through semi-structured interviews with 15 key informants of NPOs that operate and manage mHealth interventions in this region. The interviews focus on identifying existing barriers and response strategies that NPOs apply to enable sustainable and long-term running interventions. Results Building on grounded theory techniques, the collected data guided us towards a process model that identifies four aggregated categories of challenging areas that require response strategies (economy, environment, technology, and user acceptance). Conclusion This study provides contributions from and implications for NPOs and researchers. Health practitioners are provided with a knowledge base of what barriers to expect and how to overcome them, to strive for sustainable implementation from the very beginning of an intervention. A process model is identified that structures the response strategies in a time-based agenda of mHealth initiatives and thus makes a theoretical contribution. Overall, this study addresses the need for a theoretical consideration of the “pilotitis” phenomenon, which currently hampers the sustainable implementation and scaling up of mHealth initiatives. While the focus is specifically on mHealth initiatives, the overall findings help prevent discontinuance of projects in the future after the pilot, and help facilitate LREs on their way to sustainable health interventions and universal health coverage.

It is controversially discussed if and which interventions policymakers should implement to promote healthier, more sustainable, and more ethical food choices. Often, policy measures suffer from a lack of data. This is especially true for the growing field of online grocery shopping. Yet, it not always feasible to test the impact of each possible policy intervention in the field. Here, computer-simulated shopping experiments offer a complementary approach. Recent evidence suggests that they heighten the realism of consumer experiments and collect valid data at a relatively low cost. In this paper, we introduce an open-source toolset that offers multiple avenues to develop and run experiments in the context of online grocery shopping. Hence, it supports researchers and policy makers in evaluating instore-intervention aiming to support more sustainable food choices.

To mitigate and address climate change, greener transportation modes and mobility services are in great need. Although Green Information Systems (Green IS)—specifically designed to increase environmental sustainability—can support behavioral changes, there is limited research on whether Green IS usage coincides with sustainable real-world behavior. Against this background, we combine the Theory of Planned Behavior with the Technology Acceptance Model to study the interplay of employees’ Green IS usage and actual real-world behavior. Specifically, we surveyed 211 employees of a larger Western European company in the context of a recently introduced company-wide mobile application for business trip ridesharing. We conclude that Green IS can facilitate sustainable mobility adoption; however, not only technology acceptance needs to be considered but also employees’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control regarding their business travel modes. Thus, decision-making in analog and digital realms coincide and ought to be considered in parallel.

The growing influx of people to urban areas has resulted in a tense housing market in many places, making the search for a suitable residence an increased challenge. Dedicated online platforms facilitate this process and offer two distinct approaches to find suitable accommodations concerning its location. Traditionally, users can search for a general area like a city to narrow down the results displayed. Additionally, some platforms offer searches based on the maximum commute time between apartments and points of interest. This paper investigates the benefit such approaches yield concerning technology acceptance and the fit of the task and information representation. Thus, a prototypically implemented online platform with and without a commute time search feature was evaluated in an online experiment. The treatment specification achieved significantly better results in terms of information quality and technology acceptance, implicating that such a design should be preferred for websites that facilitate the search for apartments. These insights can contribute to an enhanced understanding of visual system design to reduce the negative sustainability impacts of traffic induced by a divergence of residential and workplaces.

With artificial intelligence (AI) becoming increasingly capable of handling highly complex tasks, many AI-enabled products and services are granted a higher autonomy of decision-making, potentially exercising diverse influences on individuals and societies. While organizations and researchers have repeatedly shown the blessings of AI for humanity, serious AI-related abuses and incidents have raised pressing ethical concerns. Consequently, researchers from different disciplines widely acknowledge an ethical discourse on AI. However, managers—eager to spark ethical considerations throughout their organizations—receive limited support on how they may establish and manage AI ethics. Although research is concerned with technological-related ethics in organizations, research on the ethical management of AI is limited. Against this background, the goals of this article are to provide a starting point for research on AI-related ethical concerns and to highlight future research opportunities. We propose an ethical management of AI (EMMA) framework, focusing on three perspectives: managerial decision making, ethical considerations, and macro- as well as micro-environmental dimensions. With the EMMA framework, we provide researchers with a starting point to address the managing the ethical aspects of AI.

The shift from conventional fuel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles is one possible step for a sustainable transformation in the logistics sector, such as at container terminals, where heavy-duty vehicles are essential for container transportation. Through the use of information systems, this field is a promising area for a smart grid application, where the batteries of idle vehicles can be used during less busy times to provide capacity for the energy grid. The need for energy reserves has increased with the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources, which cannot provide a stable power supply. The research in this chapter provides an overview of the cost drivers for a smart electrified container terminal.

New digital technologies are a driving force behind many pivotal changes in our modern world. For example, the carsharing business model has improved drastically through the adoption of technologies for online booking, instant access, vehicle monitoring, and automated billing. However, the challenge of vehicle supply and demand management hinders carsharing from reaching its full potential and mainstream application. The current norm of relocating vehicles via employees is expensive and unsustainable, counteracting the environmental benefits of carsharing. To engage this problem, a new concept called user-based relocation has emerged in recent years. For user-based relocation, customers are requested to return rented vehicles at undersupplied locations. However, research and practice lack knowledge on how to implement user-based relocation in a real-world carsharing system. This study employs an iterative research approach, including the implementation of user-based relocation in a real-world carsharing system. During the development and evaluation process, novel requirements and challenges for user-based relocation were discovered, providing valuable knowledge for its implementation and future research.

Autonomous driving is believed to provide numerous benefits for individuals and society, including increased road safety, reduced traffic congestion, and an improved ecological footprint. However, many barriers still hinder the widespread acceptance of autonomous vehicles. Research has proposed governmental policy strategies to accelerate the diffusion of autonomous driving, but less is known about end-user perceptions of this innovative technology. First, we employ a qualitative research design to identify the elements attributed to individual acceptance of autonomous driving. Furthermore, we organize a research model based on the technology acceptance model, validated with an online survey of 316 participants. The findings reveal how social influence, system characteristics, and individual factors determine individual acceptance of autonomous driving. The research helps to strengthen the existing body of knowledge by highlighting individual perceptions, with implications for practitioners.

The increasing capabilities of conversational agents (CAs) offer manifold opportunities to assist users in a variety of tasks. In an organizational context, particularly their potential to simulate a human-like interaction via natural language currently attracts attention both at the customer interface as well as for internal purposes, often in the form of chatbots. Emerging experimental studies on CAs look into the impact of anthropomorphic design elements, so-called social cues, on user perception. However, while these studies provide valuable prescriptive knowledge of selected social cues, they neglect the potential detrimental influence of the limited responsiveness of present-day conversational agents. In practice, many CAs fail to continuously provide meaningful responses in a conversation due to the open nature of natural language interaction, which negatively influences user perception and often led to CAs being discontinued in the past. Thus, designing a CA that provides a human-like interaction experience while minimizing the risks associated with limited conversational capabilities represents a substantial design problem. This study addresses the aforementioned problem by proposing and evaluating a design for a CA that offers a human-like interaction experience while mitigating negative effects due to limited responsiveness. Through the presentation of the artifact and the synthesis of prescriptive knowledge in the form of a nascent design theory for anthropomorphic enterprise CAs, this research adds to the growing knowledge base for designing human-like assistants and supports practitioners seeking to introduce them into their organizations.

In der heutigen Zeit werden Informationstechnologien (IT) und Informationssysteme (IS) von vielen als die treibenden Kräfte hinter den meisten entscheidenden Veränderungen betrachtet. Sie spielen eine wichtige Rolle als zentrale Katalysatoren für die Globalisierung, indem sie unter anderem die weltweite Kommunikation ermöglichen, den sofortigen Zugriff auf Informationen erleichtern und die Effizienz durch Prozessautomatisierung steigern. Zusätzlich ermöglichen sie auch innovative und kollaborative Wertschöpfungsprozesse. Beispielsweise haben digitale Technologien die Wertschöpfungsprozesse verändert, indem sie die unternehmensübergreifende Kombination von Fähigkeiten, Ressourcen und Kompetenzen zu Dienstleistungsbündeln ermöglicht haben. Insgesamt nimmt die Bedeutung von Dienstleistungen zu und es geht weniger um das Produkt als solches. In diesem Kontext ist der Mobilitätssektor ein Paradebeispiel für eine Branche, die sich von einer produktdominanten zu einem dienstleistungsdominanten Geschäftsmodell entwickelt. Carsharing-Geschäftsmodelle verdeutlichen in diesem Zusammenhang in hervorragender Weise die Vorteile und Möglichkeiten, die IT und IS bei der Verbesserung und Optimierung der Leistungserbringung bieten können. Im Carsharing wird klassisch mittels Mitarbeiter der Prozess der Wertschöpfung durchgeführt. Das bedeutet, dass Mitarbeiter die Fahrzeuge reinigen, tanken, Schlüssel aushändigen und die Fahrzeuge gegebenenfalls umparken. In diesem Kontext haben sich neue kollaborative Wertschöpfungsmechanismen hervorgetan, die wiederum auf IT und IS basieren. Exemplarisch hierfür sind Peer-to-Peer Carsharing (der persönliche PKW wird in ein Sharing-System eingebracht), fahrverhaltenssensitive Preismodelle, partizipatorische Fahrzeugumverteilung oder auch die Reinigung und Betankung. In diesem Artikel gilt es diese Mechanismen systematisch zu analysieren, um Forschungslücken, Innovationspotenziale und praxisorientierte Handlungsempfehlungen abzuleiten. Ziel ist es, das Thema kollaborative Wertschöpfung am Kontext Carsharing aufzubereiten und dadurch Grundlagen zu geben, sodass ausgewählte Mechanismen auf andere Sharing Economies übertragen werden können. Many consider information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) to be the driving forces behind most of today’s decisive changes. Both play an important role as central catalysts for globalization by enabling global communication, facilitating immediate access to information and increasing efficiency through process automation. In addition, they also enable innovative and collaborative value creation processes. For example, digital technologies have changed value-added processes by enabling the cross-company combination of skills, resources and competencies into service bundles. Overall, there is an increasing focus on the importance of services rather than on the product itself. In this context, the mobility sector is a prime example of an industry...

Eine zunehmende Wettbewerbsintensität führt zu einem immer stärkeren Bedarf an Team-Kollaborationen, da innovative Entwicklungen heutzutage nicht mehr von einzelnen Mitarbeitenden alleine geleistet werden können. Jedoch entstehen in Teams insbesondere bei der Kollaboration in einem neuartigen und komplexen Kontext mannigfaltige Herausforderungen, welche bisher nur wenig untersucht worden sind. Am Beispiel der School of Design Thinking (d.school) am Hasso-Plattner-Institut der Universität Potsdam, einer europaweit führenden Ausbildungsstätte für Design Thinking in interdisziplinären Teams, wird in dieser Studie untersucht, welche Herausforderungen in der Teamarbeit entstehen können. Basierend auf qualitativen Tiefeninterviews wurden verschiedene Teammitglieder, Coaches und Leitende der d.school nach ihren Erfahrungen bezüglich der Teamarbeit befragt. Mittels der Critical-Incident-Technik konnten umfangreiche Einblicke gewonnen werden, welche Situationen in der Team-Kollaboration von den Beteiligten als besonders herausfordernd wahrgenommen wurden. Im Ergebnis stellen sich insbesondere die emotionalen (weichen) Teamfaktoren – wie gegenseitiges Vertrauen und der konstruktive Umgang mit unterschiedlichen Meinungen, Kompetenzen und Erfahrungen – als erfolgsentscheidend heraus. Diese werden bis dato jedoch nur wenig von Informationssystemen adressiert, die die Team-Kollaboration unterstützten und erleichtern sollen. Der Forschungsartikel schließt mit Beispielen, wie auf Basis der Ergebnisse IS zur Teamunterstützung gestaltet werden können. Increasingly intense competition leads to an ever-increasing need for team collaboration, since new developments can no longer be achieved by individual employees alone. However, a variety of challenges arises in teams particularly when collaborating in an innovative context. These challenges have attracted limited attention so far. Using the exemplary setting of the School of Design Thinking (d.school) at the Hasso Plattner Institute of the University of Potsdam, one of Europe’s leading training centers for Design Thinking in interdisciplinary teams, we examine which communication barriers can arise in team cooperation. Based on qualitative in-depth interviews, various team members, coaches and managers of the d.school were asked about their experiences with team cooperation. Using the critical incident technique, extensive insights could be gained into specific situations of team collaboration that were perceived as particularly challenging. As a result, emotional (soft) team factors like mutual trust and the constructive handling of different opinions, competencies and experiences, turn out to be decisive for team success. To date, only a few of these factors have been addressed by information systems supporting and facilitating team collaboration. The research article concludes with three examples regarding how information systems might better support team collaborations.

Rapid economic growth and urbanization have motivated economists and researchers to seek innovative solutions for the many challenges that accompany these trends. This can be observed in upcoming research in sustainable transportation services where potential solutions to urban mobility issues are being explored. For example, e-carsharing, which involves the joint ownership or use of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) does not only mitigate the environmental and infrastructural hazards of privately owned internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) through reduction of emissions and urban traffic, but also alleviates many barriers such as high costs, battery life limitations, and suboptimal charging infrastructures that have prevented privately owned BEVs from reaching their full potential. In response, we present a framework for a battery electric vehicle utilization management system (BEVUMS) for automated optimization of operational decisions regarding the usage of electric vehicles in mixed vehicle-type fleets. The framework consists of four modules: energy demand prediction, battery charge scheduling, vehicle selection, and vehicle relocation. We assess the validity and capabilities of the system by simulating an e-carsharing system with data sets of 2,000 and 20,000 vehicle rental data points. Our findings suggest opportunities for prevention of charging related problems, increased BEV rental ratios, and lengthened BEV rental periods. Thus, the proposed system leads to improved BEV utilization and prolonged BEV battery life. In addition to these opportunities for increased potential sustainability provided by our proposed BEVUMS, this study further contributes to current research in the field by providing a framework and a benchmark setting for future research.
