Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to highlight the fundamental elements about the potential knowledge ecosystems underlying the crowdfunding environment, providing a tentative analysis of the state of the art and suggesting a possible research agenda.
Design/methodology/approach
Based on a sample of 51 papers retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database, the investigation, implementing a bibliometric literature review (BLR), has examined the main metadata of the scientific literature that includes studies about crowdfunding and knowledge ecosystems.
Findings
The main research areas in the field, in terms of occurrence network analysis, seem to affect three main clusters (entrepreneurial ecosystems, business ecosystems and service ecosystems), being the role of knowledge (and consequent knowledge management) relevant mostly in regard to entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Originality/value
The research is intended to shed light on the potential connections, relationships and interactions between crowdfunding and the knowledge ecosystems that may emerge in the dynamics involving crowdfunding platforms, projects and operators, emphasizing the contribution of knowledge management in this respect.
本研究旨在强调众筹环境下潜在知识生态系统的基本要素,对现状进行初步分析,并提出可能的研究议程。基于从Web of Science (WOS)数据库中检索到的51篇论文样本,本调查实施了文献计量学文献综述(BLR),检查了包括众筹和知识生态系统研究在内的科学文献的主要元数据。在发生网络分析方面,该领域的主要研究领域似乎影响了三个主要集群(创业生态系统、商业生态系统和服务生态系统),其中知识(以及随之而来的知识管理)的作用主要与创业生态系统相关。本研究旨在揭示众筹与知识生态系统之间的潜在联系、关系和互动,这些生态系统可能在涉及众筹平台、项目和运营商的动态中出现,并强调知识管理在这方面的贡献。
