Action-related information trumps system information: Influencing consumers’ intention to reduce food waste KU Leuven
In order to substantially reduce food waste at the household level, it is essential to change consumer behavior. Informing consumers about the food waste issue is a promising means of bringing about behavior change: research confirms that information can increase food waste reduction behavior. However, it has yet to be determined what kind of information is most effective and exactly how that information affects consumer food waste behavior. ...
Equal access to health information : evaluating the use of a multilingual website in face-to-face consultations = Igualdad de acceso a la información sanitaria : evaluación del uso de un sitio web multilingüe en las consultas presenciales Ghent University
In a 21st century superdiverse world, public service providers increasingly resort to technologies facilitating face-to-face consultations. In this paper, we evaluate the use and efficiency of a multilingual website in 11 video-recorded consultations of HIV/STI counselling. We address three central research questions: (i) How is the multilingual website embedded (or not) in the consultations? (ii) For what particular communicative purposes? ...
Financial versus non-financial information: The impact of information organization and presentation in a Balanced Scorecard KU Leuven
This paper investigates how the organization and presentation of performance measures affect how evaluators weight financial and non-financial measures when evaluating performance. We conduct two experiments, in which participants act as senior executives charged with evaluating two business-unit managers. Performance differences between business units are contained in either a financial or one of the three non-financial categories. ...
Integrated Information Systems, Alliance Formation, and the Risk of Information Exchange between Partners KU Leuven
© 2016, American Accounting Association. All rights reserved. Christ and Nicolaou (2016) develop a model predicting that when firms are engaged in alliances with multiple objectives, they are more likely to use Integrated Information Systems (IIS) and more extensive formal controls to manage alliance risk. In addition, they hypothesize that higher levels of IIS are associated with lower information exchange risk and subsequently lower overall ...
Discussion of Integrated information systems, alliance formation, and the risk of information exchange between partners KU Leuven
Christ and Nicolaou (2016) develop a model predicting that when firms are engaged in alliances with multiple objectives, they are more likely to use Integrated Information Systems (IIS) and more extensive formal controls to manage alliance risk. In addition, they hypothesize that higher levels of IIS are associated with lower information exchange risk and subsequently lower overall alliance risk. Finally, they argue that the relationship between ...
Information society policies 2.0: a critical analysis of the potential and pitfalls of social computing & informatics in the light of e-inclusion Ghent University
In this paper we reflect on how research and policies can and/or should help in the development of a sustainable information society for all. More specifically, we critically investigate how social computing & informatics can entail both potential and pitfalls, especially with regard to the difficult relationship between digital and social inclusion. First of all, traditional information society policies are scrutinized. Furthermore, we ...
Cartel formation and detection : the role of information costs and disclosure Ghent University
Firms that self-report cartels risk having their information exposed. If the costs associated with these risks are large then it will have a “chilling effect" on self-reporting. This effect can sustain cartels even without trigger strategies in a Bertrand duopoly. Thus, we show that disclosure rules, which determine how much information from AA proceedings is revealed publicly or to private plaintiffs, must be structured carefully to reduce this ...
