<P class=MsoNoSpacing>Usage of Pre-Made Text-Modules and Peer-Groups for Mitigating Information Asymmetry in Social Lending: Evidence on Funding Success from German Platform Smava</P>

<P class=MsoNoSpacing>Recently, several platforms for arranging credit mediation between borrowers and lenders without usage of a financial intermediary have emerged. Social lending has attracted the interest of researchers who analyzed the behavior of borrowers and lenders on these platforms. The authors examine the impact of pre-made text modules and usage of peer groups on the funding success of a credit request. Analyzing empirical data from the German social lending platform Smava, the authors find evidence that the use of pre-made text modules doesn’t influence lender decisions significantly. Additionally, the authors find that the usage of peer groups significantly influences funding success, if borrowers seek affiliation to groups with only few members.</P>

<P class=MsoNoSpacing>Using Social Media for Service Innovations: Challenges and Pitfalls</P>

<P class=MsoNoSpacing>This article investigates how social software such as blogs can be used to collect ideas generated by the users in the service innovation process. After a theoretical discussion of user involvement and more specifically user involvement using social software and interactive web-tools, the article reports the results from a field experiment at a university library. In the experiment, a blog was established to collect ideas for service innovations from the library users. The experiment shows that blogs may generate a modest, but very useful amount of ideas. The experiment furthermore reveals that blogs might be useful to provide the institution with an image of openness and willingness to listen to customer input.</P>

<P class=MsoNoSpacing>Functional Modelling and Analysis of IDM E-Tailer Platforms</P>

<P class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN style="BACKGROUND: white">The research described in this article is motivated by the need to provide models and frameworks that would guide online web-stores in their platform provisioning and customer retention. The authors propose the e-tailer Platform Functionality Model (ePFM) for modelling the requirements of business-to-consumer (B2C) online stores for Interactive Digital Media (IDM). Encompassing e-tailer strategy formulation and functional requirements of the web-store, a variation of the Empathic Design (ED) methodology was used in the field research for investigating the efficacy of the ePFM. The research suggests that incorporating multiple perspectives - namely transaction, marketing, and revenue functionalities - for an online business is a critical success factor. Secondly, development of an online business platform requires design that is aligned with customers’ expectations of each of the three functionalities. Finally, e-business managers and platform architects may need to pay special attention to strategies that advance value creation in order to retain competitive advantage. From the empirical results, the authors may conclude that while all three types of functionalities are required for market impact, there are also differences between hygiene and competitive factors that eventually differentiate between success and mediocrity.</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNoSpacing>The State of E-Compliance Among U.S. Retailers</P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing> </P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing>Kenneth A. Saban (Department of Marketing, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA), Stephen Rau (Department of Accounting and Information Systems, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) and Paul Klein (Palumbo Donahue School of Business, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA)</P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing> </P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN style="BACKGROUND: white">With increased Internet usage in the EU, U.S. retailers have intensified their marketing efforts to reach these consumers. A major challenge for retailers selling online is that they must comply with the laws where the consumers reside. Past studies suggest that U.S. firms are not in full compliance with non-U.S. e-commerce laws. This study examines U.S. retailers’ relative compliance with U.S. and non-U.S. ecommerce laws. E-commerce laws were selected from three EU countries and the U.S. The laws addressed two levels of web site functionality: 1) providing basic company information and 2) privacy protection during information exchanges. The authors found that U.S. retailers were more compliant with U.S. versus non-U.S. law. In addition, compliance with non-U.S. law declined as Web site functionality increased with no such decline for U.S. law. These results are important because noncompliance may result in stricter regulations and may also drive consumers away from retailers’ Web sites.</SPAN></P>
