Knowledge Spillovers in the Supply Chain: Evidence from the High Tech Sectors (2015, background): “User developers contribute actively to the creation of new software, and clinicians co-develop new surgery tools jointly with companies (e.g. von Hippel et al., 1999; von Hippel and von Krogh, 2003; Jeppesen and Frederiksen, 2006).”
Exploring the Foundations of Cumulative Innovation: Implications for Organization Science (2007, background): “As scholars increasingly recognize that sources of innovation are more diverse and more distributed in sectors such as semiconductors, oil and gas exploration, consumer products, and electronics the scope of our framework widens (von Hippel 1988, Chesbrough 2003, Jeppersen and Frederiksen 2006, Li”
Ethical norms and issues in crowdsourcing practices: A Habermasian analysis (2018, background): “For example, studies have been conducted on the motivations of individuals to participate in various forms of crowdsourcing (e.g., Frey et al. 2011; Jeppesen and Frederiksen 2006; Lakhani and Wolf 2005; Leimeister et al. 2009).”
Network Exchange Patterns in Online Communities (2011, background): “For example, innovative users on a firm-hosted and product-focused forum were more interested in firm recognition compared to peer recognition and reciprocity by peers (Jeppesen and Frederiksen 2006).”
The Role of Participation Architecture in Growing Sponsored Open Source Communities (2008, background): “Sponsorship of external communities has been used as a source of open innovation, whether in musical instruments (Jeppesen and Frederiksen (2006), computer games (West and Gallagher, 2006; Prügl and Schreier, 2006) or sporting goods (Franke and Shah, 2003).”
Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation (2014, neutral): “Communities and value networks have long been identified as an important source of innovations for firms sourcing external innovations (Chesbrough et al., 2006; Jeppesen and Frederiksen, 2006; West and Lakhani, 2008).”
Wisdom or Madness? Comparing Crowds with Expert Evaluation in Funding the Arts (2016, neutral): “…– such as crowdsourcing (Poetz & Schreier, 2012), innovation tournaments (Boudreau, Lacetera, & Lakhani, 2010; Terwiesch & Ulrich, 2009), and collective and group innovation (Jeppesen & Frederiksen, 2006; O’Mahony, 2003) – ultimately have an expert authority overseeing the actions of the crowd.”
Perceived 'usefulness' of online consumer reviews: An exploratory investigation across three services categories (2012, background): “The greater the lure of positive reputation, the greater will be the reviewers’ efforts in providing useful reviews (Jeppesen and Frederiksen 2006).”
Service Innovation: A Service-Dominant Logic Perspective (2015, background): “types of value sharing by users or beneficiaries in different value cocreation contexts (Franke and Shah 2003; Jeppesen and Frederiksen 2006).”
Usability and Sociability in Online Communities: A Comparative Study of Knowledge Seeking and Contribution (2009, background): “Individual motivational factors include the desire for reputation (Jeppesen and Frederiksen, 2006; Peddibhotla and Subramani, 2007; Wasko and Faraj, 2005), monetary incentives (Kankanhalli et al., 2005a, 2005b; Peddibhotla and Subramani, 2007), information need and knowledge growth (Kankanhalli et…”

Community Engineering for Innovations: The Ideas Competition as a Method to Nurture a Virtual Community for Innovations (2009, background): “Lessons learned from the literature about open source projects show that it is difficult for organizations to initiate, build and nurture an external community for innovations (cp. West and O’Mahony, 2005; Jeppesen and Frederiksen, 2006; West, 2007).”
Consumer Empowerment Through Internet-Based Co-creation (2009, background): “Due to cost-efficient and multimedia-rich interaction opportunities offered by the Internet and the existence of online communities, virtual co-creation has become a suitable means of creating value and improving the overall success of new products [6, 37, 40, 48, 68, 76, 83, 96, 101, 118, 122].”
