PublicationManaging disruptive innovation through service systems - Crowdlending in the banking industry(University of St.Gallen, 2017)
;Jakob, ThomasThe Internet has affected and partially radically changed the business models of traditional industries. Crowdfunding as a new concept of funding over the Internet by a large crowd has especially gained maturity. Crowdfunding offerings range from funding charitable projects or innovative gadgets to a funding alternative for start-ups or small businesses. Therefore, crowdfunding represents an innovative way to provide liquidity for illiquid markets. With regard to the banking crisis and the growing skepticism toward banks, crowdfunding is seen as a more transparent, democratic, and entertaining way of funding, which makes it highly attractive for banks. A senior innovation manager of The Bank of Switzerland (TBOS), one of Switzerland's largest and most traditional banks, recognized the disruptive and beneficial potential of crowdlending. By facing strong resentments, he developed the idea of TBOS engaging in crowdlending by collaborating with a start-up by bundling competencies in a service system.Type: journal articleJournal: Case Center -
PublicationAccelerating Customer Integration into Innovation Processes using Pico Jobs(Inderscience Enterprises, 2011-04)
;Fähling, Jens ;Krcmar, HelmutFischer, JanCrowdsourcing marketplaces emerged in the internet and enable the integration of customers in various tasks along the innovation process. Marketplaces such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk install a member base for third parties, where they can offer small, highly structured paid tasks which can hardly be solved automatically with information and communication technology (ICT) which we call Pico Jobs. In this paper, a new method for systematically utilising the creative potential of the users of these marketplaces for new product development is illustrated. First, an analysis of related work offers an overview of existing methods for integrating customers into innovation processes and classifies crowdsourcing marketplaces according to existing methods. Second, the characteristics of Pico Jobs are elaborated by reviewing leading crowdsourcing marketplaces. Third, our real-world case with OSRAM pinpoints the features of Pico Jobs for idea generation and validation such as the speed and the dynamic of involving customers into innovation processes. The article concludes with a discussion of potentials and limitations for companies applying Pico Jobs in order to accelerate the integration of customers. Overall, this article contributes a new concept for utilising crowdsourcing and points out opportunities for future research in this area.Type: journal articleJournal: International Journal of Technology MarketingVolume: 6Issue: 2Scopus© Citations 7 -

PublicationThe Rise of Crowd Aggregators - How Individual Workers Restructure Their Own Crowd( 2017-02-12)
;Durward, DavidCrowd work has emerged as a new form of digital gainful employment whose nature is still a black box. In this paper, we focus on the crowd workers – a perspective that has been largely neglected by research. We report results from crowd worker interviews on two different platforms. Our findings illustrate that crowd aggregators as new players restructure the nature of crowd work sustainably with different effects on the behavior as well as the existing relationships of crowd workers. We contribute to prior research by developing a theoretical framework based on value chain and work aggregation theories which are applicable in this new form of digital labor. For practice, our results provide initial insights that need to be taken into account as part of the ongoing discussion on fair and decent conditions in crowd work.Type: conference paper -

PublicationAbsorptive Capacity for Open Innovation Communities - Learnings from Theory and Practice(Academy of Management, 2011-08-12)
;Köroglu, OrhanKrcmar, HelmutPotential of open innovatioin communities are manifold, but the question of systematically capturing value from these communities has rarely been researched. We therefore develop a value appropriation framework form absorptive capacity theory and apply in to the case of Ubuntu Brainstorm, one of the Internet's biggest open innovation communities. This theory integration contributes to bothe research strams. Open innovation can be embedded into a broader theoretical context, and a deeper understanding of real absorption processes can be developed. Need for future research and guidelines for practice in regard to improving a company's value appropriation from open innovation communities are offered.Type: conference paperVolume: Paper Session 1317 -

PublicationPrincipal Forms of Crowdsourcing and Crowd Work(FEPS - Foundation for European Progressive Studies, 2016)
;Durward, David ;Wobbe, Werner ;Bova, ElvaDragomirescu-Gaina, CatalinIn recent years, companies have been getting access to larger pools of workers, and the phenomenon of crowdsourcing has emerged as a new pattern of digitally mediated collaboration. In parallel, an ongoing digitalisation has been accelerating the division of labour through hyperspecialisation and giving rise to new forms of work, for example crowd work. This paper illustrates the differences between crowdsourcing as an alternative concept of organizing, and crowd work as a new form of digital gainful work. The variety of crowdsourcing applications on the one hand, and the different forms of crowd work on the other, will be introduced. In summary, more and more individuals decide to work online in the crowd, and those crowds consist of people of any social strata, age or location. Hence, with the rise of crowd work, several opportunities and risks for all of these participants can be observed and need to be addressed.Type: book section
