“…First, they complemented the description by Tan et al (2017) and other country-specific studies by confirming the policy relevance of the negative association between social media and crime. This global dimension can lead to the adoption of more holistic policies that are applicable to a 1 The positioning and design of this paper is consistent with the extant recent empirical and theoretical studies on the relevance of information technology in: (i) enhancing conditions for human development (Afutu-Kotey et al, 2017;Bongomin et al, 2018 ;Asongu and Boateng, 2018;Gosavi, 2018;Hubani and Wiese, 2018;Minkoua Nzie et al, 2018;Isszhaku et al, 2018;Abor et al, 2018;Muthinja and Chipeta, 2018;Nwachukwu, 2018a, 2018b)and improving society with opportunities for human emancipation (Kreps and Kimppa, 2015;Tatnall, 2015;Lennerfors et al, 2015;Patrignani and Whitehouse, 2015;Aricat, 2015;Lahtiranta et al, 2015;Tchamyou, 2017Tchamyou, , 2018Tchamyou and Asongu, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to complement the scant macroeconomic literature on the development outcomes of social media by examining the relationship between Facebook penetration and violent crime levels in a cross-section of 148 countries for the year 2012. Design/methodology/approach The empirical evidence is based on ordinary least squares (OLS), Tobit and quantile regressions. In order to respond to policy concerns on the limited evidence on the consequences of social media in developing countries, the data set is disaggregated into regions and income levels. The decomposition by income levels included: low income, lower middle income, upper middle income and high income. The corresponding regions include: Europe and Central Asia, East Asia and the Pacific, Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Findings From OLS and Tobit regressions, there is a negative relationship between Facebook penetration and crime. However, quantile regressions reveal that the established negative relationship is noticeable exclusively in the 90th crime quantile. Further, when the data set is decomposed into regions and income levels, the negative relationship is evident in the MENA while a positive relationship is confirmed for Sub-Saharan Africa. Policy implications are discussed. Originality/value Studies on the development outcomes of social media are sparse because of a lack of reliable macroeconomic data on social media. This study primarily complemented three existing studies that have leveraged on a newly available data set on Facebook.

“…The corresponding research question this inquiry intends to address is: how does ICT complement openness to affect entrepreneurship in SSA? This positioning aims to extend recent theoretical and empirical literature on the benefits of information technology, notably in: improving conditions for human emancipation (Kautz, 2011;Venable et al, 2011;Hossain & Quaddus, 2011;Johri & Nair, 2011;Watts & Wyner, 2011;Gripenberg, 2011) and changing society with opportunities for human development (Tatnall, 2015;Kreps & Kimppa, 2015;Lennerfors et al, 2015;Aricat, 2015;Lahtiranta et al, 2015;Patrignani & Whitehouse, 2015).…”

“…The IS literature defines digitalization 2 as "the practice of taking processes, content or objects that used to be primarily (or entirely) physical or analog and transforming them to be primarily (or entirely) digital" (Fichman, Dos Santos, & Zheng, 2014: 333). Infusing products with digital technology generates new properties spanning communication, programmability and traceability (Yoo, Lyytinen, Boland, & Berente, 2010b); it also changes the nature of the product (Yoo, Boland Jr, Lyytinen, & Majchrzak, 2012), creates new potential functionalities (Fichman et al, 2014) and turns the user into a contributor of data (through product use as opposed to distributed browser-based web 2.0 technologies) (Kreps & Kimppa, 2015).…”

A core challenge for broad adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to ensure that its benefits are captured by a wide range of stakeholders. Taking a business network perspective, this study: i) examines the benefit potential of widespread IoT-based digitalization and service innovation; ii) identifies key barriers to capturing these benefits; iii) develops recommendations to overcome these barriers. A three-stage qualitative methodology (based on interviews, a focus group and Delphi-based inquiry) examines the case of an emergent IoT-based digital business network in the UK road transport industry. The research reveals the critical importance of managers involved in digitalization initiatives balancing their interests with those of the wider business network, if the potential benefits are to be captured. It provides fresh insights into: i) IoT-based digitalization as a business network phenomenon; ii) the interplay between digitalization and innovation in the sphere of service business models; iii) digitalization's disruptive impact on 'traditional' industries and the implications for future management research.
