摘要

本文的目的是探讨众包的不同方面及其随时间的演变。通过三个不同的案例研究,本研究关注影响开放式创新众包的不同因素。此外,除了证明众包对众包活动有巨大影响的因素外,研究结果还为我们提供了一个建议的管理框架,供我们在采用众包时考虑。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定性研究方法最为方便。它的重点是提供对现象的深入理解。定性研究代表了研究参与者的观点和观点,此外,它是由通过现有或新兴概念解释这些事件的愿望驱动的(Yin, 2016)。采用案例研究方法,深入调查当代现象(“案例”),并在其现实世界背景下,特别是在现象与背景之间的界限可能并不明显的情况下(Yin, 2018),如基于众包的开放式创新商业模式。研究结果:研究人员在考虑为开放式创新建立管理框架时,提出了众包的好处和挑战。此外,研究人员确定了高度影响众包的不同因素,提出了一个可用于采用众包的模型。这项研究还揭示了众包是如何被引入埃及市场的,以及这些年来它是如何演变的。研究局限性/启示本研究存在一些局限性,需要在后续工作中加以考虑。X公司在高度限制和保密的情况下使用众包,限制了众包的效果和结果。另一个限制是,这项研究只是定性的,增加定量方法将在数字上支持研究结果。此外,该研究仅将企业作为信息来源,而忽略了人群样本。实践意义本研究的主要目的是解决埃及企业采用众包开放式创新意味着缺乏研究证据的问题。为此,作者采用了三个案例研究,使他们能够直接观察和报告信托首席执行官的日常工作,并特别关注实践。因此,这些管理人员根据他们具体的工作要求,使自己具备所有实际用途的知识。因此,本研究的第一个主要贡献是,它提供了急需的关于三家埃及国际公司的众包实际实践的经验数据。此外,研究结果可以作为考虑众包活动时的指导方针,突出这些活动的优点和缺点。本文讨论了众包的不同观点,并对其类型进行了新的分类。此外,这些类型是如何使用的,特别是在埃及市场。另一方面,本文调查并记录了三家不同规模的公司利用众包进行创新的经验。收集到的信息被用来提出一种新的模式,通过这种模式,公司可以避免其他公司遇到的困难。此外,该研究还强调了利用众包进行开放式创新的好处和挑战。

Toward an Egyptian managerial framework based on crowdsourcing for open innovation
PurposeThe purpose of the presented research paper is to explore the different aspects of crowdsourcing and its evolution over time. Supported by three different case studies, the research focuses on the different factors that affect crowdsourcing for open innovation. Moreover, the findings give us a proposed managerial framework to be considered when adopting crowdsourcing in addition to factors that proved its huge effect on crowdsourcing activities.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative research approach for this research was the most convenient. It focuses on providing an in-depth understanding of the phenomena. Qualitative research represents the views and perspectives of the participants in a study besides it is driven by a desire to explain these events, through existing or emerging concepts (Yin, 2016). Adopting a case study research method that investigates a contemporary phenomenon (the “case”) in depth and within its real-world context, especially when the boundaries between phenomenon and context may not be evident (Yin, 2018) as in crowdsourcing based business model for open innovation.FindingsThe researchers presented the benefits and challenges when considering crowdsourcing establishing a managerial framework for open innovation. Additionally, the researchers identified the different factors that highly affect crowdsourcing proposing a model that can be used for adopting crowdsourcing. The research also presented insights about how crowdsourcing was introduced in the Egyptian market and how it evolved through the years.Research limitations/implicationsThe study had some limitations to be considered in the following work. Company X used crowdsourcing within a high degree of limitations and confidentially consequently, restricting the effects and results of crowdsourcing. Another limitation was that the study has been only qualitative, and the addition of the quantitative approach will numerically support the findings. Moreover, the research depended on the businesses only as of the source of information and neglected the crowd sample.Practical implicationsThe main aim of this study was to address the lack of research evidence on what it means to adopt crowdsourcing for open innovation in Egyptian firms. The authors have done so by adopting three case studies which enabled them to directly observe and report on the daily work of trust CEOs, with special attention to the practices. Whereby, these executives made themselves knowledgeable for all practical purposes, as dictated by their specific job. Accordingly, the first major contribution of the present research is that it provides much-needed empirical data on the actual practices of crowdsourcing in three Egyptian, yet international companies. Moreover, the results could be used as a guideline when considering crowdsourcing activities highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of such activities.Originality/valueThe paper discusses different perspectives of crowdsourcing presenting a new categorization for its types. Moreover, how these types have been used especially in the Egyptian market. On the other hand, the paper investigated and documented three different sized companies' experiences utilizing crowdsourcing for innovation. The collected information was used to suggest a new model by which companies can avoid the difficulties others had. Moreover, the research highlighted the benefits and challenges of using crowdsourcing for open innovation.
