Cui Bono? The Selective Revealing of Knowledge and Its Implications for Innovative Activity (2013, methodology): “With respect to solution-revealing, Jeppesen and Molin (2003) articulate how software firms instigated the development of extensions to their products by voluntarily and strategically disclosing parts of their products.”
Why Do Users Contribute to Firm-Hosted User Communities? The Case of Computer-Controlled Music Instruments (2006, background): “These studies have focused on user communities in which consumers communicate and exchange information with fellow consumers (von Hippel 2001, Franke and Shah 2003, Lüthje 2003, Jeppesen and Molin 2003).”
