Klappentext zu „Unleashing the Crowd “
This book disrupts the way practitioners and academic scholars think about crowds, crowdsourcing, innovation, and new organizational forms in this emerging period of ubiquitous access to the internet. The authors argue that the current approach to crowdsourcing unnecessarily limits the crowd to offering ideas, locking out those of us with knowledge about a problem. They use data from 25 case studies of flash crowds - anonymous strangers answering online announcements to participate in a 7-10 day innovation challenge - half of whom were unleashed from the limitations of focusing on ideas. Yet, these crowds were able to develop new business models, new product lines, and offer useful solutions to global problems in fields as diverse as health care insurance, software development, and societal change. This book, which offers a theory of collective production of innovative solutions explaining the practices that the crowds organically followed, will revolutionize current assumptions about how innovation and crowdsourcing should be managed for commercial as well as societal purposes.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Unleashing the Crowd “

Pressezitat
"This book is written in a unique, lucid, story-telling style that caters to both practitioners seeking tangible tactics for enhancing their use of the crowd and scholars seeking to understand the state of the crowdsourcing literature and the data and methods necessary to advance such research. ... The transformation sparked by this book will further ignite the imagination of practitioners and researchers of innovation alike as to the potential of the crowd." (Daniel Armanios and Huiyan Zhang, Administrative Science Quarterly, November 6, 2020)
