Social gamification in enterprise crowdsourcing

Enterprise crowdsourcing capitalises on the availability of employ-ees for in-house data processing. Gamification techniques can help aligning employees’ motivation to the crowdsourcing endeavour. Although hitherto, research efforts were able to unravel the wide arsenal of gamification techniques to construct engagement loops, little research has shed light into the social game dynamics that those foster and how those impact crowdsourcing activities. This work reports on a study that involved 101 employees from two multinational enterprises. We adopt a user-centric approach to ap-ply and experiment with gamification for enterprise crowdsourcing purposes. Through a qualitative study, we highlight the importance of the competitive and collaborative social dynamics within the enterprise. By engaging the employees with a mobile crowdsourc-ing application, we showcase the effectiveness of competitiveness towards higher levels of engagement and quality of contributions. Moreover, we underline the contradictory nature of those dynam-ics, which combined might lead to detrimental effects towards the engagement to crowdsourcing activities

Outsourcing labour to the cloud

Various forms of open sourcing to the online population are establishing themselves as cheap, effective methods of getting work done. These have revolutionised the traditional methods for innovation and have contributed to the enrichment of the concept of 'open innovation'. To date, the literature concerning this emerging topic has been spread across a diverse number of media, disciplines and academic journals. This paper attempts for the first time to survey the emerging phenomenon of open outsourcing of work to the internet using 'cloud computing'. The paper describes the volunteer origins and recent commercialisation of this business service. It then surveys the current platforms, applications and academic literature. Based on this, a generic classification for crowdsourcing tasks and a number of performance metrics are proposed. After discussing strengths and limitations, the paper concludes with an agenda for academic research in this new area

Application of Crowdsourcing Technology In Terms Of Digitization of Supply Chain Strategy

Abstract— The article presents the study on the problem of crowdsourcing application in terms of digital development of supply chain strategy. The purpose of this study is to develop the algorithm of application of crowdsourcing technology in terms of digitalization of supply chain strategy in socio-economic processes.

German crowd-investing platforms: Literature review and survey

This article presents a comprehensive overview of the current German crowd-investing market drawing on a data-set of 31 crowd-investing platforms including the analysis of 265 completed projects. While crowd-investing market still only represents a niche in the German venture capital market, there is potential for an increase in both market volume and in average project investment. The market share is distributed among a few crowd-investing platforms with high entry barriers for new platforms although platforms that specialise in certain sectors have managed to successfully enter the market. German crowd-investing platforms are found to promote mainly internet-based enterprises (36%) followed by projects in real estate (24%) and green projects (19%), with the median money raised 100,000 euro

Barriers for SMEs in Adopting Crowdsourcing

Despite its undisputable benefits for firms, crowdsourcing is rarely applied in small and medium sized enterprises (SME), yet. Until today extant literature provides only an uncomplete picture of the barriers that hinder SMEs from adopting crowdsourcing. Because of these incomplete insights on this phenomenon there is a great deal of uncertainty on how to overcome these barriers all the more. In the scope of an interview series with 15 SMEs we explore a range of different barriers. The findings from our study do not only expand the so far incomplete body of knowledge but also provide practical references for SMEs to be aware of the barriers. This simplifies avoiding them and successfully adopting crowdsourcing

User Roles in Virtual Community of Crowdsourcing for Innovation: A Case Study of Xiaomi MIUI in China

Crowdsourcing innovation, as a new innovation pattern, helps companies reduce the risks and costs of innovation, which has received widespread attention and practical application. What is critical for improving crowdsourcing innovation performance is to understand the heterogeneity of participating users deeply, guide and motivate users to participate actively. Based on the typical characteristics of crowdsourcing innovation communities, this paper proposes a model integrating social network analysis (SNA) & K-means clustering algorithm to identify participants’ roles and conducting empirical research with Xiaomi MIUI community. The result indicates that users can be divided into nine categories: active user, positive user, negative user, bystander, creative contributor, faithful supporter, tourist, and new participant. In order to provide decision support for enterprises to govern crowdsourcing innovation virtual community effectively and improve innovation performance, this paper analyses the behavioural characteristics of each user role from two dimensions: interaction behaviour and contribution behaviour
