Drawing on social exchange theory (SET), we hypothesize that seekers and solvers have different preferences for the configuration of four central interaction design features of a crowdsourcing platform: communication channels, collaboration options, selection of winning submissions, and feedback mechanisms. Based on a conjoint study with 842 respondents, we show conflicting preferences for the configuration of these features, but also find a surprisingly consistent “best” configuration that can balance the individual preferences of both seekers and solvers. In addition, we identify social trust, risk aversion, and the need for cognition as three personal characteristics of individuals in seeker organizations and solvers that influence their preferred configuration of platform design. Our findings help intermediaries operating a crowdsourcing platform to offer nuanced platform interactions that align how individuals in seeker organizations (e.g., project managers) and individual solvers create and capture value in crowdsourcing. Furthermore, we contribute to the micro-foundations of open innovation by proposing SET as a novel perspective to examine how the expectations and value drivers of all parties involved in a crowdsourcing project can be balanced.</p>","PeriodicalId":16900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","volume":"42 4","pages":"641-678"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpim.12787","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fisher","doi":"10.1111/jpim.12781","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jpim.12781","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Realizing its overarching potential in achieving digital transformation, leading organizations, such as Air New Zealand, have recently employed blockchain technology to manage 3D printing innovation. Despite the potential benefits, including the key role of blockchain as a supporting technology in Industry 5.0, these applications of blockchain technology in 3D printing are still at a nascent stage in practice and mostly limited to producer innovation. Additionally, 3D printing and blockchain technologies are often independently revolutionizing value capture and value creation, whereas the theoretical implications of their combined impacts on innovation management remain an underexplored domain. Limited digital transformation efforts have been made to employ blockchain technology to create a synergy between producer innovation and community innovation in relation to 3D printing innovation. To solve these issues, we introduce a novel concept, <i>distributed ledger innovation platform</i> (DLIP), which refers to a network of firms and individuals that create and capture value on a blockchain through digital transformation efforts. In this research, we draw upon transaction cost and social production theories to investigate the potential benefits of blockchain to solve the digital transformation challenges associated with 3D printing innovation. We utilize these perspectives to propose the concept of DLIP as a new governance structure for managing digital transformation activities with blockchain. Additionally, we examine illustrative digital transformation efforts via 3D printing innovation and applications of blockchain technology. Then, we present future research directions for innovation management scholars to investigate the benefits of DLIP in digital transformation efforts via 3D printing. We conclude by discussing the potential applications of DLIP to manage other enabling technologies of digital transformation, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the metaverse.</p>","PeriodicalId":16900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","volume":"42 4","pages":"766-788"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Promoting these with “designed by consumers” claims has proven highly effective in boosting innovation appeal and market success. However, beyond the appeal of the perceived similarity between co-contributors and customers (Dahl et al., 2015), little is known about the effectiveness of different communication strategies for crowdsourced products. Central to the current investigation is the crucial creative strategy decision about whether to show the co-contributor in the advertisements and the persuasive role of the co-contributor's level of physical attractiveness. The use of attractive sources is highly prevalent in standard advertisements and is known to have reliable positive effects in persuading consumers (Mello et al., 2020). In contrast, our research suggests that showing attractive co-contributors in advertisements for crowdsourced products undermines their unique appeal and can even backfire. Through a series of qualitative and experimental studies, we found that this effect results from two mechanisms: (1) negative persuasion knowledge, where consumers question whether the attractive source is the genuine co-contributor, and (2) disruption of the similarity appeal that typically makes crowdsourced products well-received. These findings not only advance our understanding of the effectiveness of “designed by consumers” claims but also contribute significantly to the broader communication and persuasion literature. Importantly, our findings provide managers with actionable strategies for maximizing the commercial success of crowdsourced products.</p>","PeriodicalId":16900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","volume":"42 4","pages":"679-703"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on empirical analysis of relevant industry incumbents, we address the following research question: <i>How do key microfoundational elements, notably individual behaviors and organizational processes and design, interact to drive business model innovation</i>? Despite its importance, little is known about this question. We explore the microfoundations of BMI via a multiple-case study method. We specifically investigate the interplay between microfoundational components at varying levels (individual, process, interaction, and organizational design) in three incumbent companies in Finland's power electricity sector. Theoretically, this article's contributions lie in examining the interaction mechanisms that drive the interplay between microfoundational elements at macro and micro levels during the different BMI stages. These mechanisms are critical for shaping interaction processes in BMI and supporting value creation and appropriation. For managers, our research provides a microfoundational framework for guiding BMI, including guidelines for critical tasks such as promoting a creative culture, enhancing cross-functional collaboration, balancing innovation with operational stability, aligning with industry trends, and preparing the organization for continuous innovation.</p>","PeriodicalId":16900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","volume":"42 4","pages":"704-736"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpim.12784","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on the self-determination theory, this article investigates different types of motivation and provides compelling theoretical and empirical evidence for the critical role of one motivation which is so far under-researched, that of identified motivation (i.e., which is personally important and consciously valued), in triggering users' intention to submit. We further identify a new construct stimulating motivation—sponsor-challenge fit—and reveal identified motivation as an underlying mechanism explaining the influence of sponsor-challenge fit on the intention to submit to crowdsourcing initiatives addressing grand challenges. We demonstrate the importance of identified motivation compared to other types of motivation and explore two moderators (sponsor transparency and sponsor capability) in two scenario-based experiments involving fictitious crowdsourcing initiatives. The first study demonstrates that increased sponsor transparency (i.e., open disclosure of submission guidelines and selection criteria) strengthens the effect of sponsor-challenge fit on users' identified motivation and, consequently, their intention to submit. The second study reveals that sponsor capability (i.e., financial and operational ability to develop ideas further) can mitigate the negative effects of a low sponsor-challenge fit, thereby enhancing identified motivation even when the fit is low. Our article contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the identified motivation's role in addressing grand challenges, clarifying the impact of the alignment between sponsor and challenge on engagement, and demonstrating how sponsor transparency benefits organizations with high fit while sponsor capability aids those with low fit.</p>","PeriodicalId":16900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","volume":"42 4","pages":"737-765"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpim.12777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A few research studies show that inventors use the consultation tactic to champion their new ideas inside organizations—that is, inventors ask others to contribute to their new ideas in the hope of obtaining others' commitment. However, prior research does not indicate <i>why</i> inventors should use consultation and <i>when</i> it is beneficial. This research proposes that consultation enhances psychological ownership, and that psychological ownership increases idea commitment. Additionally, we posit that the extent to which idea receivers contribute and build psychological ownership will vary depending on the format of the new idea. We hypothesize that consultation is beneficial when idea receivers are asked to contribute to low-elaborated ideas framed in a non-narrative format, as this type of idea format provides greater opportunities for inputs. In contrast, we argue that idea receivers build less psychological ownership when they are asked to contribute to high-elaborated ideas and/or ideas framed in a narrative format (e.g., storytelling). An exploratory survey with 204 inventors confirms that the use of consultation for gaining idea commitment is widespread in companies. The survey shows that inventors present their new ideas at varying levels of elaboration and narrative format. Furthermore, three laboratory experiments provide strong support for our predictions. This study extends our understanding of the idea championing process by providing new insights into how consultation best fosters psychological ownership.</p>","PeriodicalId":16900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","volume":"42 3","pages":"614-638"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143861606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce a third type of CEO, external founders, who founded other ventures before being appointed as CEOs. Drawing on upper echelons theory, we propose that the unique combination of external founder CEOs' values and knowledge predisposes them to place less strategic emphasis on innovation than founder CEOs do but more than professional CEOs do. Heterogeneity among external founder CEOs may be due to nuances related to their exposure to professional investors in and successful exits from the ventures they founded. We assess our hypotheses empirically using the innovation-related speech in investor communications and patent applications of 1637 CEOs of 789 S&amp;P 500 firms from 2000 to 2019. We find that external founder CEOs emphasize innovation less than founder CEOs do, but contrary to our hypotheses, also less than professional CEOs do. However, certain nuances in external founder CEOs' founding experience bring their strategic emphasis on innovation close to that of founder CEOs.
