Sensemaking and Sustainable Practicing: Functional Affordances of Information Systems in Green Transformations (2013, background): “Information systems assume a position of unique duality in that they can be both a contributor (DesAutels and Berthon 2011; Zhang et al. 2011) and a potential solution to environmental degradation (Elliot 2011).”
The role of smart metering and decentralized electricity storage for smart grids: The importance of positive externalities (2012, background): “, NETL, 2008) or focused on solutions that are enhanced by information systems such as green information systems to address environmental sustainability (e.g., Melville, 2010; Pupillo et al., 2009; Watson et al., 2010).”
Understanding the Impact of Opinion Leaders’ Characteristics on Online Group Knowledge-Sharing Engagement from In-Group and Out-Group Perspectives: Evidence from a Chinese Online Knowledge-Sharing Community (2019, background): “On the other hand, a larger and wider collection of online members could enable new forms of interaction in terms of speed, scope, and scale [10].”
The Effect of Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility on Environmental Performance and Business Competitiveness: The Mediation of Green Information Technology Capital (2016, background): “Watson et al. (2010) start from the perspective of energy, arguing that green information system (IS) is ‘‘energy ? information \ energy’’, rather than just limiting the deﬁnition of green IS to IT—understanding it as the integration of individuals, processes, software, and IT to support…”
Climate change and COP26: Are digital technologies and information management part of the problem or the solution? An editorial reflection and call to action (2022, methodology): “IS research has been focusing on socially relevant issues as well as examining green IS (Nishant, Teo, & Goh, 2017; Watson, Boudreau, & Chen, 2010).”
Sustainable supply management: An empirical study (2012, background): “…a supplier’s capability to develop or acquire skills, infrastructure and Information Technologies and Information Systems (IT/IS) are essential for companies (Vachon and Klassen, 2008) and green IT/IS is an important challenge because of their ability to better support SSM (Watson et al., 2010).”
Senior managers' perception on green information systems (IS) adoption and environmental performance: Results from a field survey (2013, background): “We primarily focused here on Green IS, which can reduce the environmental impact of firm’s actions, and how it can contribute to environmental sustainability [17, 24]; few studies have empirically assessed Green IS adoption at the level of the firm.”
Revisiting IS business value research: what we already know, what we still need to know, and how we can get there (2013, methodology): “For example, Watson et al (2010) and Loos et al (2011) argue for applying IS thinking and skills to reduce energy consumption and CO 2 emissions.”
