The authors use the theories of technological innovation and dynamic capabilities and select a sample of 4054 listed companies with commercial integration of ESG rating data to explore the mechanisms through which digital transformation affects ESG performance. Dynamic capabilities are further divided into innovation changeability (IT), coordination integration capability (CI), and learning absorption capability (LA) to investigate the mediating effects and summarize the causal path of “digital transformation - dynamic capabilities - ESG performance.” The research focuses on the impact of digital technology on ESG performance with the aim of helping businesses utilize technology more effectively to build dual competitive advantages in digitization and ESG.10.4018/JGIM.335905Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-20Zhang, LanYe, YuweiMeng, ZixuanMa, NingWu, Chia-HueiIT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z3211202024-01-01T05:00:00ZManagement of Household Energy Saving and Its Green Alternativeshttps://www.igi-global.com/article/management-of-household-energy-saving-and-its-green-alternatives/338308Given the significant growth potential in households' energy consumption in China, studying household consumption behavior becomes even more valuable. This study explores factors influencing the shift in households' energy-saving preferences from habitual energy-saving behavior to consumption-oriented energy-saving behavior, as well as to analyze the potential for using other green alternatives to traditional energy in energy consumption. Empirical results reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between household income and energy consumption, occurring when energy-saving awareness (ESA) exceeds a critical threshold. Below this threshold, household income is positively correlated with energy consumption. Further analysis indicated that once income exceeds the turning point, households' higher ESA leads to reduced energy consumption, indicating potential for green alternatives in higher-income households. Overall, the study highlights how awareness and income interact to shape energy-saving choices, emphasizing the potential for sustainable energy options in affluent households.10.4018/JGIM.338308Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-22Qiao, QiaoLin, BoqiangIT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z3211222024-01-01T05:00:00ZA Large Group Emergency Decision-Making Approach on HFLTS With Public Preference Data Mininghttps://www.igi-global.com/article/a-large-group-emergency-decision-making-approach-on-hflts-with-public-preference-data-mining/337610Aiming at the emergency decision-making problem of major emergencies, this article proposes a large group emergency decision-making (LGEDM) approach with public opinions mining on hesitation fuzzy language term set (HFLTS). First, extract keywords that represent general preferences on events from the Weibo platform, classify keywords using the word similarity-based keyword clustering algorithm and identify decision attributes and their weights. Next, define the similarity measure and hesitation fuzzy entropy measure of HFLTS, quantify the decision risk of experts using the risk measurement model, and cluster all experts into several subgroups using the risk metric-based group clustering algorithm. Subsequently, assign clusters' weights on their risk value and size and obtain each cluster's preference matrix by the HIOWA operator. Finally, derive the ranking results of alternatives using the sorting process, and an example of “COVID-19” is presented to verify the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method.10.4018/JGIM.337610Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-22Zhao, MengkeGuo, JiWu, XianhuaIT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z3211222024-01-01T05:00:00ZCurrent Dynamics and Future Growth of Online Travel Agencieshttps://www.igi-global.com/article//341797Although the literature on online travel agencies is growing, it is fragmented and incoherent.

We follow a two-step analysis: The first-order measurement model is leveraged to assess collaboration level, and the second-order confirmatory factor analysis develops the collaboration level by using four indicators representing customer and supplier firms as well as two specific indicators for each of them. Four items are common practices for both sides: joint sales forecasting, exchange of basic information, joint planning, and joint delivery improvement. Two practices are highly oriented toward customers: resource sharing of logistics assets and exchange of performance evaluation. Business-to-business practices engaged mostly with suppliers include the implementation of replenishment systems and joint new product development. Collaboration measurement between suppliers and client firms contributes to effectively manage the relationship between the supplier and client firms and can improve the competitiveness of participating firms in the network.10.4018/JGIM.342838Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 0-0IT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z321002024-01-01T05:00:00ZExploring determinants that influence the usage intention of AI based customer services in the UAEhttps://www.igi-global.com/article//343308Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way customers interact with organizations and companies. There is a lack of research into AI-enabled customer experiences. Hence, this study aims to use the relevant literature to propose a conceptual framework for how the integration of AI in customer service can lead to an improved AI-enabled customer experience. Five propositions drawn from the reviewed literature present the main factors needed to ensure end users’ acceptance of AI customer service in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Our theoretical model extends the trust-commitment theory and service quality model, and incorporates perceived problem-solving ability, to address these factors and thereby guide the successful implementation of AI based customer service projects. The paper will help in understanding the key issues surrounding AI customer service applications that may support successful operations.10.4018/JGIM.343308Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 0-0IT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z321002024-01-01T05:00:00ZExploring the Potential of Large Language Models in Supply Chain Managementhttps://www.igi-global.com/article/exploring-the-potential-of-large-language-models-in-supply-chain-management/335125This study aims to identify emerging topics, themes, and potential areas for applying large language models (LLMs) in supply chain management through data triangulation.

This will lead to the reduction of the digital gap. Nevertheless, the pursuit of achieving DI has not undergone substantial scholarly examination. Through an in-depth analysis of the highly successful TaoBao Village in rural China, we propose a procedural framework illustrating the evolution of digital inclusion. This investigation highlights that the realization of digital inclusion relies on a self-determination mechanism, progressing through three distinct phases. Each phase, in turn, consists of three steps: Establishing motivational drivers, facilitating IS capabilities and extend of digital inclusion. Thus, this article constructs and presents a comprehensive process model of digital inclusion that vividly portrays the implementation of these three pivotal steps to bridge the digital divide.10.4018/JGIM.340942Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-21Yue, LinCui, LiliIT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z3211212024-01-01T05:00:00ZIdentifying the Determinants of Platform-Based E-Government Service Usehttps://www.igi-global.com/article/identifying-the-determinants-of-platform-based-e-government-service-use/336554Governments have embraced platform-based business models, increasingly used in companies, to enhance efficiency, standardize information, and deliver a broader range of information quickly and easily. The integration of platform-based e-information services is essential for innovative e-government policies, as it leads to improvements in administrative efficiency and better information quality. A theoretical review of success factors highlights the significance of service efficiency, user satisfaction, and the intention for continuous use.

How manufacturing companies improve their competitiveness has always been a topic of great concern. Service transformation and product innovation are key factors and are considered to be important ways for enterprises to stand out in the market. Traditional service transformation and product innovation processes often face complex problems, including the diversity of customer needs and fierce market competition. This makes it difficult for companies to accurately capture market opportunities, provide personalized solutions, and respond quickly to changes. At the same time, many companies also face problems with product quality control and production efficiency, which further weakens their competitiveness. It is against this background that the importance of computer vision technology has become increasingly prominent.10.4018/JGIM.336485Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-26Zhang, YonglingDu, HuaqingPiao, TianyuShi, HongyuTsai, Sang-Bing (Jason)IT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z3211262024-01-01T05:00:00ZUsing the ELM to Explore the Impact of Fake News on Panic Vaccination Intentionhttps://www.igi-global.com/article/using-the-elm-to-explore-the-impact-of-fake-news-on-panic-vaccination-intention/335487The study explores the effects of COVID-19 vaccine fake news on social media from the perspective of the elaboration likelihood model (ELM). The research model theorizes that factors of the central route and factors of the peripheral route influence panic vaccination intention through the third-person effect of fake news, personal norm, and the individual's attitude toward panic vaccination (i.e., the vaccination equivalent of “panic buying”). Data were collected via an online survey with 409 valid responses. The study applies partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the hypotheses. The findings have theoretical and practical implications and provide insights to help reduce the spread of fake news on social media during an outbreak to better ensure that people are not misled by fake news.10.4018/JGIM.335487Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-39Cheng, Hsiang-LanTan, Chiew MeiChiu, Chao-MinHuang, Hsin-YiLee, Yi-ChienIT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z3211392024-01-01T05:00:00ZIndispensable Source of Risk Contagion With Big Data Analysis From a More Comprehensive View on Shadow Bankinghttps://www.igi-global.com/article/indispensable-source-of-risk-contagion-with-big-data-analysis-from-a-more-comprehensive-view-on-shadow-banking/339190Although shadow banking widely exists in the financial systems of various countries, their definitions vary significantly due to specific economic and financial characteristics. This paper classifies Chinese shadow banking into six categories: securities, trust, private lending, banking, fund, and insurance. The AR-GARCH-DCC model is used to measure systemic risk spillover through from an industrial and institutional perspective. The network topology index is employed to analyze risk contagion and further explore influencing factors. Firstly, based on the results of the AR-GARCH-DCC, the estimated dynamic volatility (σ) indicates that shadow banking risk spillover is time-varying, especially in trust and securities. Second, according to the static risk spillover analysis, various institutions play different roles and can transform between risk spillovers and overflowers. Thirdly, eigenvector centrality, leverage, assets, CPI, and macroeconomic prosperity significantly impact shadow banking systemic risk spillover.10.4018/JGIM.339190Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM), Volume: 32, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-29Li, PeijinYi, XiutongZhang, ChonghuiBaležentis, TomasIT Research and TheoryComputer Science & ITGlobal Information Technology2024-01-01T05:00:00Z3211292024-01-01T05:00:00Z
