Sample of research gaps 10
1.“While many studies have shown that
recommendation agents use did result in
improved decision quality and decreased
decision effort, there also exists some counter
evidence.” (Xiao and Benbasat 2007 in Mullor-
Bloch and Kranz 2015, 19)

2. “Even if other streams of IS research
suggest that intentions lead to behaviors, the
privacy paradox should be explored further to
provide an understanding as to why such is
not the case with information privacy.”
(Bélanger and Crossler 2011 in Mullor-Bloch
and Kranz 2015, 19)

3. “As e-commerce moves from primarily new
and search products to experience products,
trust as related to product understanding and
its underlying dimensions are likely to have a
different role that could be the topic of future
research.” (Gefen et al. 2008 in Mullor-Bloch
and Kranz 2015, 19)

4. “[…] no study to date has directly attempted
to evaluate the ability of the IT project barrier
to produce response lag. […] Yet, without
rigorous studies confirming or challenging the
notion […], no such conclusion is warranted. “
(Piccoli and Ives 2005 in Mullor-Bloch and
Kranz 2015, 19)
