Key points MIS Quarterly's (MISQ's) mission is to help develop, publish, and promote the finest scholarship within the IS academic community, and to do so without discrimination and bias. To address the above, MISQ's Editor‐in‐Chief and DEI Director published a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) position statement with an accompanying MISQ Editorial in 2021. MISQ decided to direct its DEI efforts equally towards ‘scholars’ (e.g., authors, reviewers) and the ‘scholarship’ (e.g., topics we study and approaches we take). Formation of a DEI workgroup was an early effort aimed at ensuring that the DEI‐related practices are developed and implemented through a collective voice. A year‐long mentoring programme including paper and career development sessions was designed to help scholars who had been inequitably affected by the pandemic. Initiatives such as flexible accommodation for board members and mentorship track for authors from disadvantaged groups/regions are being designed.

Value destruction is intertwined with value co-creation in the technology alliances and ecosystems; this is a key reason that most partnerships fail in the real world. Managers and policymakers will be enabled to identify destructive behavioral signals right from the onset drawing on our findings that opportunism, unjust appropriation of rents, shirking, exploitation of asymmetric power, and undue dependence can initiate the value destruction process. For the partners in an ecosystem, our findings underscore that opportunistic and exploitative behaviors do not pay off in the long run as these result in collateral and unintended losses for all. Dominant partner’s opportunism and exploitation of power asymmetry could give rise to a proverbial “pack of wolves,” a collective of resentful partners, for “challenging/killing the lion”—replacing the hub firm itself. In this vicious cycle, original intent of value co-creation gets lost with multidimensional losses on multiple fronts to the extent that opportunities open up even for the competitors with the help of hub’s former resentful complementors. Equipped with this knowledge, leaders can proactively manage ecosystem relationships keeping them on the path of originally intended value co-creation by remaining alert toward catching the signals of value destruction and reverting it deftly toward value co-creation.

Mobile technologies are profoundly affecting both how work gets done and how we live our lives. In many sectors, there is an increasing need for ubiquitous access to systems and information, coordination with colleagues across time and space, and constant connectivity. While readily acknowledging the benefits of using mobile technologies in their professional lives, many mobile workers also express a sense of helplessness arising from the constant intrusion of these technologies into their personal lives.

Broadly speaking, this book is about distributed work and human well-being, and it brings together a number of studies that we have undertaken over the last decade or so in this area. In this chapter, in addition to offering an integrative summary of our findings, we have taken the liberty to conclude the book with a section that we had not originally planned for.

... Instead of focusing on getting new customers, CS Management incorporates the view of retaining and growing existing customers (Eggert et al. 2020;Hochstein et al. 2020). Since firms with XaaS business models are no longer able to rely on high up-front payments by the customers and are dependent on periodic subscription payments it is essential for the survival of XaaS vendors to decrease customer attrition and keep the cash-flow ongoing (Xiao et al. 2020). In order to do so they need to develop new strategies to keep existing customers and provide continuous value (Eggert et al. 2020;Xiao et al. 2020). ...

... Separate tests revealed that IT equivocality alone accounted for 28% of the variance in behavioral anxiety, indicating that users' inability to properly categorize IT into known functional categories is a significant source of discomfort. Owing to this strong topical and empirical connection with the negative connotations of constructs, this work enriches the IT use literature by focusing on the "dark side" of IT, an umbrella term that encompasses phenomena related to IT use and that have the potential to undermine the wellbeing of individuals, organizations, and societies (Califf et al., 2020;Ragu-Nathan et al., 2008;Tarafdar et al., 2013Tarafdar et al., , 2015Wu et al., 2015).

While there has been a focus on the organizational perspective (Singh & Sahu, 2020), e.g., analyzing the adoption of green IS from the perspective of institutional theory (Tooranloo & Ashjerdi, 2018), prior work focusing on voluntary green IS adoption by employees in particular has taken a more cognitive perspective. ...
