Summary: Shopping malls in virtual reality (VR) environments have revolutionized distribution environments for sustainable management in the digitalization of supply chain management (SCM). This study implemented a VR shopping environment to examine the impact of telepresence and interactivity on consumers' usage behavior, and suggested the role of VR shopping in the digitalization of SCM. The research found that both telepresence and interactivity have significant relationships with time distortion and enjoyment, and that time distortion and enjoyment have a direct and positive impact on consumers' behavioral intention.

Summary: The global pandemic has emphasized the value of remote work, even in higher education, leading to the increased usage of telepresence robots. Studies show that while telepresence robots can enhance students' sense of social presence, they may also lead to robomorphism. However, the negative effects of robomorphism on cooperation are counteracted by the positive effects of social presence.

Summary: This study proposes enhancing immersive telepresence by adding a virtual body, which represents the user's arm motions, to a head-mounted display and a 360-degree camera. The results of the pilot study showed that the presence and preference of the participants were higher when the virtual body was present. However, the confirmatory study failed to replicate these results, with only behavioral measures suggesting an increase in presence. Qualitative data analysis suggests that the quality and style of the virtual arms, as well as the contrast between animation and video, led to individual differences in reactions to the virtual body, subsequently influencing feelings of presence.

Summary: This article discusses the challenges brought by the rapid development of artificial intelligence in the adoption of technology at an individual level. It focuses on the role of biases and examines their impact on user decision making. Through a case study of three German car manufacturers, the article highlights the importance of the pre-announcement phase in information systems adoption and provides a comprehensive analysis of biases caused by individuals' cognitive limitations. It also reveals a notable spillover effect of users' experiences and opinions on AI from their personal lives to their professional lives, which contradicts previous findings in IS research.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of online information on brand reputation and brand premium in the online market. The findings suggest that the presence of online information may change the situation of brand premium, and firms with lower reputation can potentially earn higher profits under certain conditions. Additionally, as the gap in brand reputation increases, the profits of both firms may also increase, leading to a win-win situation in brand competition.
