Publishing and getting published inEJIS: marshaling contributions for a diversity of genres

The Effects of Media Capabilities on the Rationalization of Online Consumer Fraud

“…Our research answers the call for providing greater context in IS theory (Te'eni, Rowe, Ågerfalk, & Lee, 2015). Media effects are context dependent and the same medium can produce positive or negative communication outcomes in different contexts (Valacich et al, 1992;.…”

“…Media effects are context dependent and the same medium can produce positive or negative communication outcomes in different contexts (Valacich et al, 1992;. Thus, context is important because research about media effects examines the interplay between the technology artifact and other factors (Hong et al, 2013;Te'eni et al, 2015) and allows researchers to unravel the contexts under which a capability may either add to or reduce communication performance (Carte & Chidabaram, 2004). We tested the same model in a variety of contexts, thus providing information about which relationships are contextdependent and which relationships are general (Te'eni et al, 2015).…”

We tested the same model in a variety of contexts, thus providing information about which relationships are contextdependent and which relationships are general (Te'eni et al, 2015). These tests indicated support for the prominent role of rationalization across contexts and suggested that future research should clarify the conditions under which media effects moderate motivations (Whetten, 2009).…”

Moderation of Enterprise Social Networks _ A Literature Review from a Corporate Perspective

“…Due to the very young research field, we did expand our literature database, from mainly top ranked IS publication [49,56] to other journals and conferences that are not highly rated. This decision was made to include innovative ideas, often presented in conferences, which are building the starting point for discussions [65] or in lower ranked journals [48]. The conferences included the latest social media track proceedings at ICIS, as the leading high quality conference in IS research [11], ECIS, to provide the newest exchanges of the European researches community and HICSS, to account for the Anglo-American counterpart of the ongoing ESN discussions.…”

Whither design science research?

“…Maybe it can be all the above, which appears supported by the genre approach suggested by the guest editors? Importantly, for publication in EJIS, the editors expect a distinct contribution to knowledge (theoretical or empirical) along with a convincing discussion about theoretical implications (Ågerfalk, 2014;Te' eni et al 2015). A potential way forward, but certainly not the only one, would be to take pragmatism seriously as the philosophical foundation of DSR and dare fully to embrace design research as an inquiry process (Baskerville, Kaul, & Storey, 2015;Sjöström, 2010).…”
