Um die kontinuierlich steigende Anzahl an Angeboten zu überblicken, beginnen Unternehmen damit, die Auswahl der eingesetzten Kommunikations- und Kollaborationstools den eigenen Angestellten zu überlassen. Inwieweit sich diese Freiheit auf die Entscheidungsfindung der Mitarbeitenden auswirkt, wurde jedoch kaum erforscht. Klassische Adoptionsmodelle der Wirtschaftsinformatik betrachten den Auswahlprozess bislang lediglich aus einer 1:1 Sicht, innerhalb derer der Evaluationsprozess zwischen dem Individuum und der Anwendung betrachtet wird. Bei dieser Betrachtung wird die Existenz alternativer Anwendungen jedoch vernachlässigt. Diese Arbeit untersucht daher sogenannte „multidimensionale“ Evaluationsprozesse, innerhalb derer sich der Nutzende der Präsenz alternativ existierender Anwendungen bewusst ist. Basierend auf dem „technological-personal-environmental Framework“ von Jiang, Chen und Lai (2010) wird jener multidimensionale Prozess im Rahmen dieser kumulativen Dissertation aus insgesamt drei Blickwinkeln betrachtet. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass die Existenz alternativer Anwendungen einen Einfluss auf die Wahrnehmung bezüglich der aktuell genutzten Systeme nimmt. Zudem werden neue Anwendungen nicht isoliert bewertet, sondern im Kontext bereits existierender Systeme. 2 Abstract English Businesses now have the ability to select specific applications from a wide range of communication and collaboration tools to deploy them for business-related tasks. To understand the ever-increasing number of offerings, companies are starting to leave the choice of communication and collaboration tools used to their own employees. The extent to which this freedom affects the decision-making of employees, however, has hardly been explored. Classical
