In this article, we investigate the influence of user community network embeddedness on collective innovation and entrepreneurship. The network embeddedness of user communities plays a crucial role in the entire process of users moving from innovation to entrepreneurship, and provides numerous benefits to users in collective innovation and entrepreneurship endeavors. Within an embedded user community, members have opportunities to share, communicate, collaborate, and provide feedback, which are all instrumental in motivating users, refining existing ideas, and testing prototypes. Additionally, this research also identifies the drawbacks associated with collective innovation and entrepreneurship in user communities, and recommends pertinent coping strategies.
