Abstract:
|
One emerging consequence of crowdsourcing is increased competition in global labor markets for digital work. We analyze how economic and cultural factors influence the effort and quality of work contributed to these new virtual labor markets. Using data from a popular online logo design contest site we demonstrate that GDP per capita, broadband penetration, and Hofstede's cultural dimensions are strong predictors of a global digital worker's effort and work quality.

Abstract:
|
We examine the role of social media enabled features and shared social responsibility (SSR) on willingness to pay (WTP) for online music. Through a survey-based experiment, we find that a user’s WTP increases if an online music retailer incorporates the ability to build status and includes concepts of SSR in the distribution of revenues. This has implications for online music providers, artists, labels and the music industry as a whole, as well as other digital goods providers.

Abstract:
|
The “globality” phenomenon has led to reduced national dominance and increased worldwide competition. As such, the growing ambitions of innovation-minded individuals and organizations in this new global market are capitalizing on the value of global entrepreneurial teams. Such teams are becoming more of a necessity as their diverse nature enables them to be more responsive to the external environment. This study investigates the formation and influence of global entrepreneurial teams.
