Contents Online Innovation Communities -- Factors Influencing Community Member Behavior -- Community Members' Contribution Focus
Summary Jan Bierwald presents the individual behavior of members in Online Innovation Communities, in which thousands of users contribute voluntarily to a jointly developed outcome. The individual member behavior is explored by conducting a detailed content analysis of more than 7,300 mails.
