Towards an integrated crowdsourcing definition (2012, background): “In regards to real motivations of the crowd to participate, various studies have been carried out [9][51][56].”
Crowdsourcing as a Model for Problem Solving (2008, background): “InnoCentive ‘broadcasts scientific challenges to over 80,000 independent scientists from over 150 countries’ (Lakhani et al., 2007: 5).”
MOVING THE CROWD AT THREADLESS (2010, background): “Some existing quantitative data begin to explain the many reasons why crowds participate in crowdsourcing applications (Lakhani et al. 2007; Lietsala & Joutsen 2007; Brabham 2008b), but these data are conflicting, especially regarding how important the opportunity to make money is as a motivator…”
The Value of Crowdsourcing: Can Users Really Compete with Professionals in Generating New Product Ideas? (2012, methodology): “…(e.g., based on the lead user method; Hienerth, Poetz and von Hippel 2007, Lilien et al. 2002, von Hippel 1986), crowdsourcing relies on a self-selection process among users willing and able to respond to widely broadcast idea generation competitions (Lakhani et al. 2007, Piller and Walcher 2006).”
Innovation Contests, Open Innovation, and Multiagent Problem Solving (2008, result): “This is consistent with an empirical study on 166 scientific problems posted on InnoCentive’s website by Lakhani et al. (2007), who find that problem-solving success is related to the ability to attract specialized solvers with diverse scientific interests.”
Open Innovation in Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprises (SMEs): External Knowledge Sourcing Strategies and Internal Organizational Facilitators (2015, unknown): “Quantitative empirical studies on external knowledge sourcing provide evidence that involving a large number of external sources of knowledge in innovation is a promising choice for large firms (Lakhani et al. 2007; Laursen and Salter 2006).”
Towards a characterization of crowdsourcing practices (2011, methodology): “CS of complex tasks can be illustrated by the emblematic case of the InnoCentive platform (Brabham, 2008; Lakhani et al. , 2007).”
Task Design, Motivation, and Participation in Crowdsourcing Contests (2011, background): “Following an emerging research interest in crowdsourcing contests [9, 43, 44], we develop and test a research model that examines the motivational factors influencing a solver’s participation.”
Open R&D and open innovation: exploring the phenomenon (2009, background): “…from open source project development (Von Hippel and von Krogh, 2006), open innovation strongly focuses on peerproduction through communities (Lakhani et al., 2008; Reichwald and Piller, 2009), consumers (Hienerth, 2006; Lettl et al., 2006), lead users (Franke et al., 2006), universities or…”
Citizen Participation, Open Innovation, and Crowdsourcing (2013, result): “Lakhani et al. (2007, 12–13), in a study of scientific problem solving, found similar results: Our most counter-intuitive finding was the positive and significant impact of the self-assessed distance between the problem and the solver’s field of expertise on the probability of creating a winning…”
Information-Sharing in Academia and the Industry: A Comparative Study (2011, background): “Also, studies on emerging open-source iniiatives in the industry have shown that implementing norms of haring can result in the development of technologies whose qualty standards are comparable to those of proprietary technologies von Hippel, 2005; Lakhani et al., 2007).”
Crowdsourcing the Public Participation Process for Planning Projects (2009, background): “To enlarge the discussion to the realm of innovation research, as well, several studies (Lakhani and Jeppesen, 2007; Lakhani and Panetta, 2007; Lakhani et al., 2007; von Hippel, 1988, 2005) have found tremendous success when non-experts engage in scientific problem solving and product design, often…”
