PublicationInfluence of Shadow IT on Innovation in OrganizationsShadow IT is relatively new and emerging phenomenon which is bringing number of concerns and risks to the organizational security. Past literature has mostly explored the “negative” effects of the Shadow IT phenomenon, including, for example, the security aspect where Shadow systems are said to undermine the official systems and endanger organizational data flows. However, the question of how Shadow IT can contribute to leverage user’s innovation has not been adequately addressed. We used three methods to understand if Shadow IT can be an important source of innovation for firms: 1) Single case study with international firm that adopted Shadow IT; 2) Interviews with 15 IT executives and 3) Focus group using twitter as enabling tool to interact with 65 IT professionals. We offer a new perspective on how Shadow IT practices can leverage user’s innovation. The study offers novel insights on the role of Shadow users in the organizational innovation process and how they contribute to new innovations by using Shadow IT. Not only this user led innovation through Shadow IT brings positive outcomes for the employee, but it also reveals the path to follow for organizations to increase their innovation capabilities.Type: journal articleJournal: Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling QuarterlyIssue: 8

PublicationUnderstanding Color Risk Appropriateness: Influence of Color on a User’s Decision to Comply with the IT Security Policy—Evidence from the U.S. and IndiaColor is a complex visual and design element that can produce various emotional, psychological and physical outcomes that can be expressed through religious, cultural, political or social meanings. Past studies have confirmed that culture is an important and integral part of the decision-making process in which color appeal is a salient antecedent to behavioral intentions in culturally distinct countries. However, in the context of computer warning messages, we are lacking clear evidence of how color risk appropriateness (CRA) affects users’ decision-making processes. Supported by the color-in-context theory, our research investigates the color risk appropriateness impact on the perceived risk in two different cultures. We found that different colors behave differently in the specific warning banner context in which CRA is an important antecedent to users’ compliance. Overall, we advance current theoretical understanding on the color-risk dimension and its importance for the user’s decision-making processes.Type: conference paperJournal: th International Conference, HCIBGO 2017, Held as Part of HCI International 2017Volume: 10294
