- ZeitschriftenartikelSecurity-Induced Lock-In in the Cloud(Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 64, No. 4, 2022) Arce, DanielCloud services providers practice security-induced lock-in when employing cryptography and tamper-resistance to limit the portability and interoperability of users’ data and applications. Moreover, security-induced lock-in and users’ anti-lock-in strategies intersect within the context of platform competition. When users deploy anti-lock in strategies, such as using a hybrid cloud, a leader–follower pricing framework increases profits for cloud services providers relative to Nash equilibrium prices. This creates a second-mover advantage, as the follower’s increase in profits exceeds that of the leader owing to the potential for price undercutting. By contrast, introducing or enhancing security-induced lock-in creates both an increase in profits and a first-mover advantage. Cloud services providers therefore favor security-induced lock-in over price leadership. More broadly, we show why standardization of semantics, technologies, and interfaces is a nonstarter for cloud services providers.
- ZeitschriftenartikelWird XML/EDI traditionelles EDI ablösen?(Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 47, No. 6, 2005) Buxmann, Peter; Wüstner, Erik; Kunze, SylviAccording to network effect theory, the benefit from using standards depends on the number of its users. In this article we examine, whether XML/EDI will replace traditional EDI and thus provide its users with positive network effects. Our contribution is based upon both network theory and the results of an empirical study among 130 major European companies. We conclude that most companies expect increasing diffusion of XML/EDI, with traditional EDI becoming less important at the same time. In addition, we believe that due to low setup and operating costs, XML/EDI will become increasingly attractive to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). We reckon that the „penguin effect” will not circumvent the transition from traditional EDI to XML/EDI and that the latter will be the key technology for exchanging business data in the future.
