PublicationModularization of Crowdfunding Services: Designing Disruptive Innovations in the Banking Industry(Association for Information Systems, 2015-12-13)Crowdfunding represents a disruptive innovation in the banking industry by enabling the exploitation of market segments. Incumbents struggle to utilize this new phenomenon as crowdfunding is based on modules that have not been considered relevant for banking so far. Nevertheless, crowdfunding services are not entirely new compared to traditional banking. We argue that the modular design enables a bank to utilize crowdfunding. Thus, we started an action research project in order to investigate how modularization enables a bank to design crowdfunding services. Findings so far led to the identification of eleven preliminary crowdfunding services and their interconnection within an ecosystem. Our expected contribution will increase the understanding of crowdfunding services by bridging research on modularization, service ecosystems, and crowdfunding, and highlight the handling of disruptive innovations in an established industry. For practice, we provide a way of designing crowdfunding services in an efficient manner while building on already existing competencies.Type: conference paper

PublicationHow Idea Creativity and Hedonic Value Influence Project Success in Crowdfunding(Universität Osnabrück, 2015-03-06)
;Schulz, Moritz ;Schulthess, KarinCrowdfunding has become a viable source of funding for a variety of projects during the last years. More and more music, creative and artistic but al-so entrepreneurial projects search funding through the crowd. Although first project characteristics with an impact on a project's funding success have been identified, qualitative variables within crowdfunding projects have mostly remained uncovered. With that in mind, this paper empirically examines the influence of idea creativity and hedonic value on projects' funding success. We assessed 108 projects from 20 platforms in order to measure the extent of these two dimensions. Our broad approach allowed us to compare results for the different types of crowdfunding. We find that idea creativity and hedonic value can have varying impacts on projects' funding success depending on the type of crowdfunding.Type: conference paper -
PublicationPyramiding 2.0: Exaptation of the Pyramiding Approach to Recruit New Idea Contributors for a Virtual Ideas Competition(Association for Information Sytems, 2014-12-15)
;Bretschneider, UlrichWhen searching for user innovations, the identification of so called ‘technology lead users' is one of the most important tasks. However, scientific literature indicates that the present measures to search and to recruit new members imply high spreading losses. As a con-sequence we develop the "Pyramiding 2.0" approach. Building on existing literature we develop a theory-motivated approach for systematically recruiting participants for a crowdsourcing environment with the help of a virtual social network. This paper describes our reasons for using the pyramiding approach and elaborates on the supposed benefits that an adaption of the pyramiding search within an online setting implies. Our findings confirm the assumption that the pyramiding 2.0 approach can be successfully applied to recruit new idea contributors for a virtual ideas competition. Moreover, our results show that pyramiding can be applied within a virtual social network, thereby expanding existing literature within the field of pyramiding.Type: conference paper -
PublicationIs all that Glitters Gold? Exploring The Effects of Perceived Risk on Backing Behavior in Reward-based Crowdfunding(Association for Information Sytems, 2014-12-15)
;Bretschneider, UlrichCrowdfunding is gaining much attention in theory and practice. Various platforms have emerged, offering different stakeholders the possibility to raise money from an undefined group of online users. Despite the growing interest, there appears to be little understanding of what drives backers to revoke pledged funds. In this research-in- progress paper, we address this issue by drawing on perceived risk theory. Perceived risk is widely recognized as the main source of negative influence on consumers' purchasing behavior in e-commerce. Therefore, we aim at developing a theory ingrained research model that helps to analyze and understand the impact of perceived risks on backers' funding on revocation behavior in reward-based crowdfunding. Doing so, our research contributes to the body of risk theory by applying it into a new context. It helps crowdfunding intermediaries and individuals to understand potentially occurring risks, and provides them with actionable advice on how to handle them.Type: conference paper -

PublicationLook at Me : Using Signaling Theory to Design Profile Functionalities for Virtual Ideas Communities(Research and Development Management, 2013-06-28)
;Ebel, P. ;Zogaj, S. ;Bretschneider, U.In existing virtual ideas communities (VICs) there are no functionalities that allow members to signal directly their skills and competences. While through submitted ideas, users of VICs can signal their competencies indirectly, a possibility to communicate explicitly their skills and competencies is missing. Drawing from existing literature within the field of VICs we assume that users that have the possibility to signal their skills will be more active. Hence, to satisfy members' self-marketing needs, community members have to be provided with possibilities or, more specifically, functionalities which enable them to signalize their proficiencies. Against this backdrop, we designed profile functionalities based on the signaling theory. In addition to systematically designing these IT artefacts, our research in progress also contains a first evaluation.Type: conference paper -
PublicationApplying an Open Innovation Method for identifying Challenges in the Cloud Business EnvironmentThe success of connected life services is strongly related to the success of cloud computing. These enormous data volumes can only be handled economically with cloud-based services. Therefore, cloud computing can be seen as a basic technology for successful connected life services. However, the actual use of cloud-based solutions within the B2B sector is due to existing uncertainties by the customers still limited. Therefore, the research question of the study is: Which challenges do cloud users have and how can these challenges be overcome? To answer this question a workshop was designed applying the lead user method as part of the open Innovation approach to identify challenges of the daily work life and to develop user centered and innovative cloud-based product/ service concepts. A total of 10 lead users have participated in the workshop. All participants are customers of a German small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME), which offers a number of cloud-based services for the business sector. In a first step the participants identified 42 challenges of their daily work life. In a second step the participants, who were separated into three groups, developed solution concepts to overcome selected challenges. To structure the development of the solution concepts the Business Model Canvas has been used. The workshop results show that the lead user method is appropriate to identify the challenges of the daily work life and to elaborate cloud-based solution concepts therefore. The customer Integration in the product/ service development process is suitable to develop user centered and innovative concepts.Type: conference paper
