La recherche en SI a déployé des efforts considérables pour mesurer le succès de l’implémentation des technologies de l’information (TI). L’utilisation des TI (Davis 1989), l’infusion des TI (Zmud and Apple 1992), l’essai d’innovation avec les TI (Ahuja and Thatcher 2005) ou la...

IS research has spent considerable efforts to elaborate metrics for measuring the success of Information Systems (IS) implementations. System usage (Davis et al. 1989), technology infusion (Zmud and Apple 1992), trying to innovate with information technology (Ahuja and Thatcher 2005) or user...

A multi-sided platform can only succeed if a critical mass of users can join. This is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for a platform's success. However, there is a limited understanding of the factors that contribute to reaching such critical mass. In this study we identify ways to...
