چکیده
Why do some concepts come to be highly popular, significantly reshaping the IT landscape, while others do not? We address this question by exploring the communities of organizations that underlie IT innovation concepts. In an illustrative investigation of the community for cloud computing, we integrate theories of organizational ecology and scale-free network and their associated methods. Substantial support of the theories and the effectiveness of the methods have led us to embark on a promising research program focused on IT innovation concepts and communities. This program affords several opportunities to break new grounds in IS research: (1) adding an ecological explanation to theories of IT innovations; (2) fertilizing new ground for IT innovation research; (3) stimulating research on scale-free networks associated with IT innovations; and (4) demonstrating the utility of computational discourse analysis.

متن کاملA NORM INEQUALITY FOR CHEBYSHEV CENTRES
In this paper, we study the Chebyshev centres of bounded subsets of normed spaces and obtain a norm inequality for relative centres. In particular, we prove that if T is a remotal subset of an inner product space H, and F is a star-shaped set at a relative Chebyshev centre c of T with respect to F, then llx - qT (x)1I2 2 Ilx-cll2 + Ilc-qT (c) 112 x E F, where qT : F + T is any choice functi...

متن کاملRepresentation of $H$-closed monoreflections in archimedean $ell$-groups with weak unit
The category of the title is called $mathcal{W}$. This has all free objects $F(I)$ ($I$ a set). For an object class $mathcal{A}$, $Hmathcal{A}$ consists of all homomorphic images of $mathcal{A}$-objects. This note continues the study of the $H$-closed monoreflections $(mathcal{R}, r)$ (meaning $Hmathcal{R} = mathcal{R}$), about which we show ({em inter alia}): $A in mathcal{A}$ if and only if...
