In today’s dynamic environments—shaped by digital transformation, evolving provider–user interactions, and shifting societal demands—these approaches face limitations in enabling continuous, context-sensitive innovation. Continuous Value Shaping emerges as a conceptual extension to service systems engineering, promoting more adaptive and co-evolutionary forms of service system development. This study examines how Continuous Value Shaping manifests through a multiple case study of three public sector projects. We identify distinct manifestations and constellations of the concept’s principles that complement classical SSE practices. As the first empirical exploration of Continuous Value Shaping, the study refines its conceptual foundation and enhances its accessibility for researchers and practitioners. We conclude with seven empirically derived propositions that inform future service systems engineering initiatives and demonstrate how Continuous Value Shaping supports the dynamic alignment of service systems with societal and systemic demands.}}, author = {{Schäfer, Jannika Marie and Rajko, Polina and Angelova, Daniela and Böhmann, Tilo}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 59th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS 2026)}}, keywords = {{Continuous Value Shaping, Service Systems Engineering, Service Science, Public Sector, Service Innovation}}, location = {{Maui, Maui, Hawaii, USA}}, publisher = {{Association for Information Systems (AIS), IEEE Computer Society Press, University of Hawaii (Manoa)}}, title = {{{From Engineering to Shaping: A Multiple Case Study on Advancing Service Systems Engineering through Continuous Value Shaping}}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65139, author = {{Jabr, Wael and Gutt, Dominik and Neumann, Jürgen and Kundisch, Dennis}}, journal = {{Information Systems and e-Business Management}}, title = {{{Updating at the Expense of Demand?

Systems theory offers powerful concepts to address challenges of growing system complexity and non-systemic design approaches in information systems. Despite its systemic origins, systems theory remains a peripheral topic in IS. The study addresses this gap by introducing a comprehensive framework of 52 systems-theoretical concepts to guide the design of complex IS artifacts. We synthesize scattered systems knowledge from diverse disciplines to provide a unified level of abstraction for complex information system design. We apply the framework to a use case of business reputation systems to show how the systems lens informs the design of a novel, complex information system. We make three key contributions to the literature. First, the framework provides a common ground for interdisciplinary research in information system design. Second, it offers a unified level of abstraction grounded in systems theory that serves as a coherent basis for artifact design. Third, it demonstrates the potential of systems theory as a foundational justificatory knowledge base. Furthermore, we provide guidance on applying the framework across multiple modes of reasoning, alongside further application guidelines. The study thus serves as a bridge between the body of systems knowledge and contextual design in IS.}}, author = {{Ibrahimli, Ulvi and Hemmrich, Simon and Winkelmann, Axel}}, journal = {{Communication of the Association for Information Systems}}, keywords = {{Information Systems Research, Systems Theory, System Complexity, System Design, Design Science}}, publisher = {{AIS}}, title = {{{Bridging Systems Theory and Information Systems: A Framework for Designing Complex Information Systems}}}, doi = {{https://aisel.aisnet.org/cais/vol58/iss1/37/}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{65310, abstract = {{Trust between client and consultant is perhaps the most important asset in con-sulting, as this is a highly intangible knowledge-intensive business that concerns is-sues of outstanding strategic and operational importance for the customers. Cli-ents who have not worked with a particular consultancy face considerable risk when they place an order while lacking reliable information about the service quality they can expect. There is a strong link between trust and reputation, as the positive reputation of a consultancy can act as a substitute for a new client’s missing individual experience with the provider, fostering trust in the service quali-ty. Thus, creating, maintaining, and demonstrating a good reputation is of signifi-cant importance for consultancies in a very competitive industry. To facilitate trustworthy signals, we design and implement a novel reputation mechanism that carries a monetary weight stored on a blockchain network as an immutable, decentralized, and transparent ledger. Based on an implementation in the Ethereum network and subsequent evaluation, we conclude that the reputation mechanism can contribute to leveling information asymmetry and reducing risk while increasing reputation and trust. The mechanism lends itself to being used in other business-to-business scenarios that suffer from similar information asymmetries.}}, author = {{Hemmrich, Simon and Nissen, Volker}}, booktitle = {{ Advanced Studies in Consulting Research and Digitalization – A Scientific Update on the Digital Transformation of the Consulting Industry.

Such systems are essential for businesses seeking trustworthy partners, as they help reduce information asymmetry, lower buyers' transaction risks, and allow high-quality service providers to justify premium pricing. Unlike traditional review-based systems in the business-to-consumer (B2C) context, we propose a B2B reputation mechanism in which buyers commit to a rating payment before a transaction. Once the buyer finalizes the rating, this payment is executed and recorded on a blockchain as an immutable, secure ledger. Our system mimics natural trust-building mechanisms with ratings that are (1) monetary-based, (2) stake-based, (3) non-aggregated, (4) involve counter-ratings, (5) selectively sellable, (6) individually comparable, (7) stored on a blockchain, (8) and monitored by a third instance. This system provides a novel approach to fostering trust in B2B transactions by reducing information asymmetry and transaction risk. We illustrate the mechanism’s application in the consulting sector. Our analysis has identified 23 institutional trust and distrust dimensions that promote establishing institutional trust through the proposed mechanism. Qualitative interviews suggest that, while complex and challenging to apply, this mechanism can foster trust in B2B transactions. Given the low maturity in the application domain—rating professional business services with business reputation systems—and solution domain—using monetary stakes for ratings, this system stands as a potential invention.}}, author = {{Hemmrich, Simon and Nissen, Volker and Beverugen, Daniel and Pauls, Josias Daniel Miño}}, issn = {{1617-9846}}, journal = {{Information Systems and e-Business Management}}, publisher = {{Springer Science and Business Media LLC}}, title = {{{Blockchain-based reputation systems for business-to-business services: designing a reputation mechanism to reduce information asymmetry in professional consulting}}}, doi = {{10.1007/s10257-025-00702-9}}, year = {{2025}}, } @book{60097, editor = {{Beverungen, Daniel and Lehrer, Christiane and Trier, Matthias}}, isbn = {{9783031801181}}, issn = {{2195-4968}}, publisher = {{Springer Nature Switzerland}}, title = {{{Conceptualizing Digital Responsibility for the Information Age}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-031-80119-8}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{60017, author = {{Skolik, Alexander Marcus and zur Heiden, Philipp and Donner, Johannes Aurelius Tamino and Priefer, Jennifer}}, journal = {{ECIS 2025 Proceedings}}, location = {{Amman, Jordan}}, title = {{{Igniting Knowledge Management for Assistance Systems in Maintenance: A Method for Knowledge Gathering}}}, volume = {{2}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{55620, author = {{Speckenmeyer, Philipp and Hilmer, Constanze and Rauchecker, Gerhard and Schryen, Guido}}, journal = {{Computers & Operations Research}}, title = {{{Parallel Branch-and-Price Algorithms for the Single Machine Total Weighted Tardiness Scheduling Problem with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times}}}, doi = {{https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4537436}}, volume = {{173}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{58150, author = {{Schryen, Guido and Marrone, Mauricio and Yang, Jack}}, journal = {{Electronic Markets}}, title = {{{Exploring the Scope of Generative AI in Literature Review Development}}}, year = {{2025}}, } @book{59182, editor = {{Beverungen, Daniel and Lehrer, Christiane and Trier, Matthias}}, isbn = {{9783031801242}}, issn = {{2195-4968}}, publisher = {{Springer Nature Switzerland}}, title = {{{Transforming the Digitally Sustainable Enterprise}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-031-80125-9}}, year = {{2025}}, }
