Reward-based crowdfunding of entrepreneurial projects: the effect of local altruism and localized social capital on proponents’ success (2017, positive): “Moreover, altruism has proven to positively affect participation in important crowd-based phenomena enabled by the Internet, such as Open Source software (von Krogh et al. 2012) or crowd science (Franzoni and Sauermann 2014).”
The open innovation research landscape: established perspectives and emerging themes across different levels of analysis (2016, neutral): “…users as innovators (Bogers, Afuah, and Bastian 2010; Piller and West 2014), innovation communities (Fleming and Waguespack 2007; West and Lakhani 2008) or open source software development (Shah 2006; von Krogh et al. 2012) that do not necessarily consider the firm as the focal level of analysis.”
What factors influence knowledge sharing in organizations? A social dilemma perspective of social media communication (2016, background): “According to Von Krogh et al. (2012), social practices do not only evolve and refine employees’ tacit and explicit knowledge.”

Social Barriers Faced by Newcomers Placing Their First Contribution in Open Source Software Projects (2015, background): “Several other studies dealt with motivation in OSS [4, 16, 40, 42, 48, 59, 65].”
The Next Generation of Research on IS Use: A Theoretical Framework of Delegation to and from Agentic IS Artifacts (2021, background): “Open source software development is characterized by code contributions from developers from around the world who communicate and collaborate through digital technology (Fitzgerald 2006; Von Krogh et al. 2012; Von Krogh and Von Hippel 2006).”
How does social software change knowledge management? Toward a strategic research agenda (2012, background): “Rather, individuals engage in social practices that are also origins of knowledge (Marabelli and Newell, 2012; von Krogh et al., 2012a).”
