Crowdfunding as an entrepreneurial phenomenon substitutes traditional
sources of finance (banks, financial markets, governments) for the crowd.
Socially and economically, it is challenging the traditional boundaries
that have been set for centuries between industry, the financial sector,
and the public. Though its basic principle cannot be considered as a
radical innovation, crowdfunding as a rapidly growing practice calls for
renewed management, legal, and governance patterns.Descriptive inquiries
on 'how to do it' are multiplying but crowdfunding remains a fuzzy subject
for research and reflexivity. This book gathers the best recent research
outcomes on the managerial and social impact of this new practice.The need
for theory is three-fold, for both scholars and practitioners. Positive
theory is needed to understand how projects are organised, how (and why)
they may succeed or fail and how governments consider this new practice
and try to regulate it. Normative theory can provide templates and
'recipes' to develop projects, and provide advice on which models are more
efficient. Finally, critical theory is needed to consider the social and
economic impact of crowdfunding.
