Value drivers of blockchain technology: A case study of blockchain-enabled online community

There is growing recognition that blockchain technology has significant potential to alter how organizations and people work and communicate. However, theoretical guidance concerning how organizations leverage blockchain technology to enhance value creation for users is still limited. Grounded in the socio-technical perspective and leveraging the rich data obtained from case analyses of blockchain-enabled online communities, this paper develops a theoretical model to identify the core value drivers that blockchain enables for online communities. The core value drivers include: a reputation-value system, data ownership mechanisms, and verification & tracking mechanisms. Our findings suggest that these three value drivers enhance value creation of online communities by motivating participation and protecting contributions.     

礼和善:传统"徽式"服饰的演变规律

为了研究传统“徽式”服饰演变的客观规律,从社会学和设计学的角度,以古籍文献和部分藏品实样为研究对象,对不同时期“徽式”服饰在形制、色彩、材料、纹样等特征元素的演变进行了梳理和比较,发现不同时期的“礼制”规范和民间对服饰品“善用”需求的变化,促使了服饰各构成元素及组合方式的演变,并探索了上层建筑、人口结构、经济技术、自然环境等客观因素在“徽式”服饰演变中的作用机制。研究表明,传统“徽式”服饰演变的客观规律是:在“礼”的外部干预和限制下,达到“善”的内在要求,即“从礼求善”的中国传统造物思想。     

Assessing cloud computing value in firms through socio-technical determinants

While cloud computing is touted as a promising information technology advancement, predictions of its value are inconclusive. This research investigates the impact of cloud computing within-firm and across-firm. Drawing on the resource-based view and sociotechnical theory, technical attributes and social attributes of cloud computing are identified to impact firm performance via primary and support use. Results from data collected from 513 firms show varying effects of technical and social attributes in primary use and support use, which help create value and better performance. Such effects also are found to differ between firms in service and manufacturing sectors.     

Is open innovation always the best for SMEs? An exploratory analysis at the project level

Open innovation (OI) projects are increasingly adopted by small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). Yet, undertaking OI is not only a source of opportunities for SMEs as it can, at the same time, present risks. How SMEs manage the balance between the potential benefits and the emerging challenges of OI is still an overlooked topic in the literature. Using evidence gathered through multiple case studies and drawing upon the relational view of the firm, we explore how and why value creation opportunities and different managerial challenges emerge for SMEs pursuing OI projects. We analyze different stages of OI projects in several different contexts of their implementation. Our analysis sheds light on the different nature and dynamics of knowledge involved within OI projects as important boundary conditions affecting successful search paths, learning processes, and the development of appropriability mechanisms. By offering a contextualized view of OI in SMEs, this study also provides insights to business managers on the situational opportunities and constraints of OI, including managerial suggestions on actions to manage tensions within differing OI projects.     

从消费到创造——消费主义挑战下的共享设计探究

与工业时代相比,信息时代消费主义对于设计的影响只增无减,新的商品和服务层出不穷,令人目不暇接。现代设计之父威廉·莫里斯曾提出将消费者与创造者的身份进行结合的解决办法,这种解决办法在工业时代无法实现,却在信息时代背景下的共享设计中重焕生机。

新一代意大利建筑师解读兼评阿克雅建筑师事务所的实践

今天,活跃在国际建筑舞台上的建筑师是 50来岁的一代人,与现代主义建筑大师们相比较,这一代建筑师具有更为特殊的位置。因为他们知道如何糅合不同的建筑创作模式,创造出体现设计者独立个性的做法,善于处理历史文化与当前现实的关系,适宜的合作规模和在建筑作品中巧妙地不事张扬。可是,意大利50来岁的建筑师却不知道处理这样一种恰如其分的平衡,例如如何体现设计者建筑语言的肯定性、在合作过程中如何认识自身的位置,以及面对当今复杂的施工要求如何保证建筑作品在实施过程中不失去个性,正是因为这些问题的处理不当,致使在国际建筑舞台上缺少他们的身影。今天,可以肯定的倒是30-40来岁的意大利建筑师,阿克雅建筑师事务所就是其中的一员。他们能够娴熟地运用国际流行的建筑语言,并且不局限在某种作者定式和个人魅力,致力于把纯粹的学术研究与建筑实践结合在一起。这一代意大利建筑师表现出来的特点是把每一次设计作为一次积极展示他们个人特点的机会,表现出强烈的希望设计作品付诸实施的愿望,以及作品中展现出扎实的结构专业能力。
