XUANWEI ZHAO, Enjun Xia · International Journal of Innovation Management · 2016
We run through the operation mechanism of open innovation and analyse network crowdsourcing from the perspective of overall innovation system, which considers public providers, corporate requestors, network platforms and virtual crowdsourcing communities throughout the entire operation of network crowdsourcing system. By demonstrating the definition of crowdsourcing capability, we advance towards a capability-perspective for network crowdsourcing system. Crowdsourcing capability is an integrative concept, which has business requestors’ capability, network platform capability and public creativity. On this basis, we study the formation mechanism of crowdsourcing capability from the perspective of knowledge sharing and value network. Overall, it contributes to explaining operation rules of network crowdsourcing system and describing different participant’s collaborative innovation and create value together.
