{"product_id":"2940169555387","title":"Creating and Capturing Value through Crowdsourcing","description":"\u003cp\u003eExamples of the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing go back to at least 1714, when the UK used crowdsourcing to solve the \"Longitude Problem\", obtaining a solution that would enable the UK to become the dominant maritime force of its time. Today, Wikipedia uses crowds to provide entries for the world's largest and free encyclopedia. Partly fueled by the value that can be created and captured through crowdsourcing, interest in researching the phenomenon has been remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite this amp;mdash; or perhaps because of it amp;mdash; research into crowdsourcing has been conducted in different research silos, within the fields of management (from strategy to finance to operations to information systems), biology, communications, computer science, economics, and political science, among others. In these silos, crowdsourcing takes names such as broadcast search, innovation tournaments, crowdfunding, community innovation, distributed innovation, collective intelligence, open source, crowd power, and even open innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis audiobook aims to assemble chapters from many of these silos. Chapters provide a systematic overview of the research on crowdsourcing from different fields based on a more encompassing definition of the concept, its difference for innovation, and its value for both private and public sector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116746522864,"sku":"2940169555387","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169555387_p0.jpg?v=1763686847","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169555387","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
