Online professional networks (OPNs) are an increasingly common tool used by recruiters to find and vet qualified job candidates for open positions. These sites allow users to publish recommendations given by other users to supplement their profile information and add credibility to the information provided. OPN recommendations offer a rich source o...
Companies are using online professional networks at an increasing rate to find qualified candidates to interview for job openings. Although recommendations published on these sites can provide valuable information and influence hiring decisions, the information may suffer from credibility issues due to the medium by which it is shared. In this stud...
Recruitment is a critical activity for companies, and companies often communicate how they value their employees along with job requirements to potential candidates in a bid to attract them. However, there is an overall lack of understanding of how candidates react to such information and how their motivation toward the job changes with such online...
Online professional networks are important tools used by recruiters to find qualified candidates for job openings. Within these networks, professional recommendations are used to supplement profiles and add credibility. These recommendations tend to be overly positive, full of superlatives, and lacking in critical statements (referred to as scope o...
Equity‐based crowdfunding platforms enable investors to come together to invest in startups and help lay‐investors to follow the lead of investors with good startup evaluation skills. Crowdfunding platforms often gather users’ inputs to evaluate investors and startups, but such inputs are quite noisy and often rely on past performance. Many investo...
In this article, the effect of IT knowledge on the overconfidence of venture capitalists (VCs) in their IT investments is examined. Our findings show that the effect of IT knowledge on overconfidence is nonlinear. VCs with moderate levels of IT knowledge are least overconfident. At the same time, VCs with moderate levels of IT knowledge are most re...
Although much research emphasizes the importance of venture technical competence for venture success and, therefore, the importance of venture technical competence in venture capitalist (VC) investment decisions, we know little about why some VCs may be better than others at assessing the technical competence of ventures. We gathered unique and pro...
For organizations to achieve the benefits of new information technology (IT) systems, their users must adopt and then actually use these new systems. Recent models help to articulate the potentially different explanations for why some users will adopt and then continue using new technologies, but these models have not explicitly incorporated IT kno...
In this paper, we study the differential influence of online user-generated content (UGC), specifically blogs, across the multiple stages of decision making of venture capitalists: screening stage, choice stage, and contract stage. We conjecture that, first, blogs are influential at the screening stage; second, after the screening stage, blogs are...
External financing is critical to ventures that do not have a revenue source but need to recruit employees, develop products, pay suppliers, and market their products/services. There is an increasing belief among entrepreneurs that electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), specifically blog coverage, can aid in achieving venture capital financing. Conflicti...
Consumer-generated media, particularly blogs, can help companies increase the visibility of their products without spending millions of dollars in advertising. Although a number of companies realize the potential of blogs and encourage their employees to blog, a good chunk of them are skeptical about losing control over this new media. Companies fe...
Weblogs or blogs have recently received a lot of attention, especially in the business community, with a number of firms encouraging their employees to publish blogs to reach out and connect to a wider audience. It is beginning to be recognized that employee blogs can cast a firm in either a positive or a negative light, thereby enhancing or harmin...

... In an increasingly online world for job seekers, recommendations may also come from people about people. Aggarwal et al. (2021) found that recommendations that include critical statements increase the effectiveness and usefulness for low and middle levels of experience. For the most experienced candidates, however, including critical statements had a negative effect on effectiveness. ...
... Crowdfunding platforms are mostly implemented in the financial services industries, but they are also common in the manufacturing industry. Crowdfunding platforms, integrated with machine learning algorithms, can help venture capital companies to evaluate the proposals received, indicating the strengths and weaknesses of each company for granting investments [105]. ...
... Research on the implications of level of confidence shows that 91% of VCs are overconfident (Zacharakis and Shepherd 2001), which negatively affected their decision accuracy. Singh, Aggarwal, and Cojuharenco (2015) further conclude that overconfidence does not depend on the VC's experience, yet VCs fail to correct overconfidence tendencies. Research on the impact of capital inflow on performance shows mixed results for IVCs attributing a negative impact (Hochberg, Ljungqvist, and Lu 2007;Hong, Serfes, and Thiele 2020) or a positive (Diller and Kaserer 2009). ...

... The next influencing factor, technical competence, is hardly represented in our sample with only on IVC article. Aggarwal, Kryscynski, and Singh (2015) found greater technical competence is associated with a lower probability of errors in assessing the technical competence of their ventures. This, in turn, predicts the subsequent failure of the venture. ...
... To the best of our knowledge, there is no scale development procedure concerning objective measurement. Similar research papers concerning objective measurement followed no explicit procedure, or at least did not report so (e.g., Aggarwal et al., 2015;Vetter et al., 2011). Others simply adapted existing objective measurements, e.g., tests (Motta et al., 2018). ...
... Over the past decade, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) emitted via social media emerged as an impactful source of information . eWOM comprises the valence (i.e., sentiment) and volume (i.e., amount of information) of online communication (Chen et al., 2011) is generally found to play a significant role in the general financial market , for IPOs (Aggarwal et al., 2012) as well as ICOs (Chanson et al., 2018a, b). Signaling theory explains the process of acquiring additional information to compensate for weak signals to overcome information asymmetry (Karasek & Bryant, 2012). ...
... Increased participation and customer spending on social media were directly correlated, as shown by Rishika et al. (2013). Aggarwal and Singh (2013) found that blogs provide managers the ability to negotiate better contract terms and assist in the screening stage of product development. Krishnamurthy and Dou (2008) looked at how to change the integrated social media properties of a network while using the proper market seeding and pricing strategies. ...
... SM plays a significant role in enabling organizations to achieve effectiveness and its budget is expected to increase by ninety-one percent (91%) in the next three years (Newberry & Dawley, 2020) [10]. According to Aggarwal et al. (2012), SM platforms have different purposes including recruitment, marketing, product testing, research, criticism, and financing. SM has made it possible for firms to collaborate with customers and other stakeholders [11]. ...

Millions of reviews were analyzed to uncover a natural distribution of ratings. ...
