Keynote by Brita Schemman at the workshop: “Platform Economy: Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Public Policy Perspectives”

"Within the last ten years we have witnessed a surge in empirical studies that address the use and usefulness of crowdsourcing within the innovation context. To better understand what makes
crowdsoucing work, we first propose a framework that structures the different areas of knowledge production within the innovation crowdsourcing space, based on their level of task uncertainty and
mutual dependency among the crowd to fulfil the task. Using this framework, we then review the relevant literature to identify and synthesise the factors that have found to be important for the
production of new ideas and solutions."
