text: In the course of digitalization, digital platforms are unleashing their full
disruptive potential and are already dominating the first industries (e.g., hotel
industry). As a result of this success, more and more companies want to build
their own platforms and participate in the success. However, building and operating
a digital platform involves multiple challenges and most of such ambitions fail.
Since most digital platforms fail, strategic leadership of digital platforms must
consider both success factors and reasons for platform failure. For this purpose,
we conducted a systematic literature analysis and identified 24 success as well
as failure factors in 9 dimensions. From a scientific perspective, the article
provides a structured analysis of success and failure factors of digital platforms,
which previously did not exist in literature. Practitioners can use the resulting
knowledge base to successfully manage platform activities and avoid pitfalls.

text: How is merger and acquisition (M&A) success associated with firm internal
M&A process organization? The literature thus far acknowledges that unobservable
internal firm characteristics are at least as important as observable firm- and
deal-specific characteristics in regard to explaining M&A success. Thus, this
paper directly asks M&A experts around the globe to shed more light on this important
issue. We investigate three indices, capturing the degree of M&A 1) process standardization,
2) process duration, and 3) process attention. Next, we analyze the process participation
among four organizational layers, i.e., the functional involvement of the a) top
management team, b) headquarters, c) business unit management, and d) business
unit functions. We predict and find that all three indices are positively associated
with M&A success, while process standardization and attention to deal strategy
are of particular importance. Turning to the four organizational layers, a textured
analysis shows that, for instance, target valuation should be performed by the
headquarters functions but not by the top management team or the business unit.
Overall, our findings are important to better understand unexplored M&A success
drivers and provide directions for future research. Finally, our results might
help practitioners adjust their M&A process organization to further improve their
M&A success.

text: In this study, we draw on person–environment fit theory to analyze whether
academic success is best explained by individual abilities subjectively exceeding
situational demands or by abilities matching the demands. Moreover, we disentangled
effects of perceived abilities and subjective person–environment (P-E) fit on
academic success. All in all, 693 teacher education students participated in an
online questionnaire. Students were asked to rate general requirements of their
academic programs (e.g., self-discipline) on a 5-point scale in terms of (1) their
own abilities and (2) the perceived relevance for their studies. P-E fit was determined
by difference scores between abilities and relevance ratings. Academic success
was assessed by grades, perceived performance, and study satisfaction. Data were
analyzed through structural equation modeling and suggest that academic success
is best explained by a match between abilities and demands. Moreover, all three
criteria for academic success were more strongly related to subjective fit than
to subjective abilities.

text: Along with the increasing popularity of social media and online communities
in many business settings, the notion of online community health has become a
common means by which community managers judge the condition or state of their
communities. It has also been introduced to the literature, yet the concept remains
underspecified and fragmented. In this paper, we work toward a construct conceptualization
of online community health. Through a review of extant literature and dialogue
with specialists in the field, we develop a multi-dimensional construct of online
community health, consisting of seven elements. In writing this paper, we attempt
to foster theory development around new organizational forms by advancing a new
and important construct. The paper further provides guidance to the managers of
social media and online communities by taking a systematic look at the well-being
of their communities.

text: Employing a Hausman–Taylor instrument variable (HT–IV) estimator to data from
558 microfinance institutions (MFIs) in 80 developing countries for the period
from 2002 to 2007, this paper provides empirical evidence for a positive impact
of a country's external governance quality and outcome on local microbanks' economic
success in terms of profitability and sustainability. Evidence as well suggests
a negative relationship between external governance and the microbanks' social
success measured by the depth of outreach. In this context, our analysis reveals
that a country's political stability, governance effectiveness, regulatory quality
and rule of law are significant key elements of external governance affecting
the MFIs' functional performance. Moreover, results from sensitivity analyses
indicate that the relationship between external governance quality and microfinance
functional performance significantly depends on the microbanks' business concepts,
their lending methodologies and sources of funding.
