Crowdsourcing New Product Ideas over Time: An Analysis of the Dell IdeaStorm Community (2013, background): “Some crowdsourcing applications take the form of a one-time contest or multistage tournament (Terwiesch and Xu 2008, Terwiesch and Ulrich 2009).”
Advancing a Typology of Open Innovation (2010, background): “…and Ernst 2007; West and Gallagher, 2006), and (iii) labor productivity (Lokshin et al., 2008) and efficiency gains through innovation contests (Terwiesch and Xu 2008) and open source communities (Dahlander and Wallin 2006; Di Maria and Finotto 2008; Gruber and Henkel 2006; West and O’Mahony…”
Value Creation and Value Capture in Open Innovation (2018, background): “Therefore, fairness is a fundamental concept when looking at open-innovation systems from a value perspective (e.g., Franke, Keinz, and Klausberger, 2013; Nambisan and Baron, 2010; Terwiesch and Xu, 2008).”
Turning Open Innovation into Practice: Open Innovation Research through the Lens of Managers (2011, background): “In the same context the participation in innovation contests and IP auctions for finding valuable solutions (Terwiesch and Xu, 2008) is recommended.”
Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation (2014, positive): “…is encouraging external innovators by providing effective incentives, whether monetary incentives (extrinsic benefits) such as awards and innovation contests (Terwiesch and Xu, 2008) or nonmonetary incentives/intrinsic motivation as often found in open-source software (West and Gallagher, 2006).”
Incentives and Problem Uncertainty in Innovation Contests: An Empirical Analysis (2011, background): “To our knowledge, only Terwiesch and Xu (2008) have begun to make progress in integrating these issues thus far.”
MOVING THE CROWD AT THREADLESS (2010, background): “Additionally, Terwiesch and Xu's ( 2008 ) research at crowdsourcing company InnoCentive found that ‘ideation problems’ are suited for broadcasting to an online base of solvers.”
Marginality and Problem-Solving Effectiveness in Broadcast Search (2010, background): “…maximization of social welfare, award structure, entry criteria, optimal solver pool size, the means to induce effort amongst solvers, and the tradeoffs between internal and external development (Boudreau et al 2009; Che and Gale 2003; Fullerton and McAfee 1999; Taylor 1995; Terwiesch and Xu 2008).”
Wisdom or Madness? Comparing Crowds with Expert Evaluation in Funding the Arts (2016, neutral): “…than experts, resulting in more failures, but more breakout hits, than the experts, similar to findings about how the structure or the number of participants in screening can generate more high quality and low quality ideas (Sah & Stiglitz, 1986; Terwiesch & Ulrich, 2009; Terwiesch & Xu, 2008).”
Crowdsourcing: A Review and Suggestions for Future Research (2018, neutral): “…solvers mitigates and potentially reverses any negative impact on quality, especially in high-uncertainty contests, because of what is known as the “parallel path” effect (Boudreau, Lacetera and Lakhani, 2011) and also because this can lead to more varied sets of solutions (Terwiesch and Xu, 2008).”
Exploring Managerial Mechanisms that Influence Innovative Work Behaviour: Comparing private and public employees (2014, background): “In congruence with this, there is an ongoing theoretical discussion of the innovativeness resulting from innovation contests (Di Gangi et al. 2010; Sawhney et al. 2005; Terwiesch and Xu 2008).”
