Knowledge, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Systems at HICSS

This paper presents an overview and history of the knowledge, innovation, and entrepreneurial systems (KIES) track and the knowledge and related systems research community at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS). This community began as a task force that examined organizational memory in HICSS-27. It has since evolved into a mini-track, a research cluster, and, finally, a full research track that encompasses research knowledge, innovation, and entrepreneurial systems. In this paper, we acquaint knowledge system researchers with a research community that has leveraged HICSS to develop a rich history of high-quality scholastic inquiry in the knowledge system, knowledge management, innovation systems, entrepreneurial systems, organizational memory, and organizational learning research areas

Celebrating HICSS50: The Past, Present, and Future of HICSS

The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) celebrated its 50th anniversary (HICSS-50) in January, 2017. To mark the occasion and to pay respect to the significant standing of this conference in the global IS community, the Communications of the Association for Information Systems (CAIS) organized a special section on “Celebrating HICSS50: The Past, Present, and Future of HICSS Conference”. In this editorial, we share the guest editors’ perspectives on HICSS and summarize the three papers in the special section

When function meets emotion, change can happen: societal value propositions and disruptive potential in fintechs

Fintechs, as providers of digital service innovations and as highly relevant and novel channels through which to deliver entrepreneurial finance based on the creative use of state-of-the-art technology in the financial domain, have thus far mainly been addressed in research by examining the functional aspects of their value propositions (VPs). This article thus sets out to gain insights into the interplay and overall role of societal VPs as potential antecedents and change catalysts in the formation of the often promised disruptive potential of fintechs for the financial sector. In an inductive, theory-building approach, the authors first examine how societal VPs transcend individual functional and emotional ones for entrepreneurs, and conclude with a conceptual model of how the former can build up the disruptive potential of fintechs and deliver apt solutions for entrepreneurs seeking finance

Introduction to the Minitrack on Reports from the Field: Knowledge and Learning Applications in Practice

Welcome to this, the 53rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) conference. This Reports from the Field Minitrack, under the Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems Track, proudly brings you the latest research focused on the application of innovation of knowledge management issues as reported by both researchers and practitioners alike. With the focus on application, this minitrack helps practioners and theorists alike. It is here we examine how theory informs and impacts practice as well as how practice can influence theory from the practioner perspective

It\u27s Not Just About Money in Peer-To-Peer Accommodation: Examining Residents\u27 Intentions Using Motivation-Opportunity-Ability Theory

Peer-to-Peer accommodation (P2PA) has drastically transformed the traditional form of tourism and has become a worldwide phenomenon. There are few studies that have investigated the determinants of participation in peer-based accommodation from the residents\u27 perspective. This study fills this gap by identifying the factors that influence residents\u27 intention to become P2PA hosts based on Motivation-Opportunity-Ability (MOA) theory. Adopting a quantitative approach, a pan-India survey was conducted to collect 230 valid responses. For analysis, both convergent and discriminant validity of the constructs using PLS-SEM was examined, along with the reliability of all the measurement scales. Empirical evidence validates that extrinsic motivation (economic benefits) does not have a direct impact whereas intrinsic motivation (social relationships); opportunity, ability, and trust have a significant impact on residents\u27 intentions to host. Finally, the paper recommends strategies for the policymakers and platform service providers to encourage residents to take up hosting to foster sustainable consumption and build relationships with tourists
