The objective of the present study is to empirically explore the implementation of Green IT measures from the perspective of the dynamic resources in organizations. To this end, the paper integrates two streams of research1) the dynamic resources or capabilities of a firm and, 2) the adoption of Green IT measures. The findings suggest that two organizations in our sample have been successful in...

With the proliferation of the data warehouses as supportive decision making tools, organizations are increasingly looking forward for a complete data warehouse success model that would manage the enormous amounts of growing data. It is therefore important to measure the success of these massive projects. While general IS success models have received great deals of attention, few research has be...

There are typically multiple equilibrium outcomes in the Crawford-Sobel (CS) model of strategic information transmission. This paper identifies a simple condition on equilibrium payoffs, called NITS, that selects among CS equilibria. Under a commonly used regularity condition, only the equilibrium with the maximal number of induced actions satisfies NITS. We discuss various justifications for N...

We study oligopoly price competition between multiproduct firms, firms whose products interact in the profit function. Specifically, we focus on the impact of intra-firm product interactions on the level of equilibrium profits. This impact is divided into two effects: a direct effect and a strategic effect (i.e., through the competitors’ actions). We derive conditions such that the strategic ef...

This research examines how youth in arts and leadership programs develop skills for organizing actions over time to achieve goals. Ethnically diverse youth (ages 13-21) in 11 high-quality urban and rural programs were interviewed as they carried out projects. Qualitative analyses of 712 interviews with 108 youth yielded preliminary grounded theory about youth's development of strategic thinking...

Article 3 This is the third in a series of four articles providing an introduction to the practice of strategic foresight. This article delves a little deeper into the details of foresight methodology and process design, with the aim of providing the reader with a greater appreciation for how organisational benefits of the nature that I discuss in the first and second articles can be practicall...

We consider strategic interaction on a network of heterogeneous long-term relationships. The bilateral relationships are independent of each other in terms of actions and realized payoffs, and we assume that information regarding outcomes is private to the two parties involved. In spite of this, the network can induce strategic interdependencies between relationships, which facilitate efficient...

The global reach of the Web technological platform, along with the range of services that it supports, makes it a powerful business resource. However, realization of operational and strategic benefits is contingent on effective assimilation of this type III IS innovation. This paper draws upon institutional theory and the conceptual lens of structuring and metastructuring actions to explain the...

Classical game theory uses the extensive form and the strategic form to explain a game. The extensive form is represented by a game tree, in which the players make sequential actions. However, the strategic form is usually used to describe games with two decision makers, in which players' choices are made simultaneously. Unlike one-player decision making, where optimality has a clear sense, in ...

Brand image is defined and measured as a “set of associations which a brand has acquired for an individual” (Joyce, 1963, p. 45) and as “brand associations in consumer memory” (Keller, 1993). Strategic marketing decisions, such as positioning and segmentation, are typically based on market information obtained through consumer surveys. Brand-based industries use key market information from bran...
