“…(Lasi et al 2014) In this way, the design processes should take advantage from the knowledgeable and creative individuals outside the company, which can also contribute to achieving strategic goals and reducing innovation costs, and that sharing intellectual property both ways is useful for different parties in different ways. Together with crowdsourcing, cloud-based design and manufacture, and mass collaboration, open Innovation compose what is called Social Product Development, which enable innovation through collaborating communities (Bertoni et al 2012;Forbes & Schaefer 2017). Social Product Development relies on the cloud and requires secure information channels.…”

The 4th industrial revolution (IR) requires new products and business models adjusted to the rapidly changing market conditions, which calls for evolutions in design engineering. In this context, smart design engineering is here defined as a methodology used during the analysis and design of a product or a system, which can be composed by hardware, software and/or services, and that explicitly considers exploiting the technologies and opportunities from the 4th IR. This work contributes to both design theory and practice: (i) it deepens the understanding about the necessary smart design engineering features and shows how these features impact the product design and development process’s (PDDP) key dimensions (procedures, people and tools); (ii) it maps the features’ impact on PDDP’s phases, thus providing practical direction for process improvement. To accomplish these results, a survey was performed on the initial features presented in the literature, which helped to identify new features and to confirm their relation to the 4th IR and their impact on the PDDP. These features were then analyzed against the 4th IR environment perspectives and core technologies, which led to understanding how they can be used to improve the PDDP.

“…Examples hereof are 'crowdsourcing' (Brabham 2008), where the creative solutions of a distributed network of individuals are harnessed through an open call for proposals. Likewise topics like 'social product development' (Forbes & Schaefer 2017) and 'open innovation' (Chesbrough 2003) has the potential to share respectively the 'socially inclusive' and the 'open' dimensions of product development, but should be considered as prerequisites.…”

“…Such expectations set particular requirements for the openness of the product development approach and interactions between the backers and the developers. In this sense the (digital) user plays an increasingly important role in the way goods are used and consumed (Brenner et al 2014), and these dynamics share some similarities with the 'open-design' paradigm (Boisseau, Omhover & Bouchard 2018), 'mass collaboration design' (Ball & Lewis 2018), 'social product development' (Forbes & Schaefer 2017) and the 'creative consumers' phenomenon by Berthon et al (2007). Such requirements for openness can be considered a particular characteristic of crowdfunded product development.…”

This paper provides an empirical review of the reward-based crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.com, with the aim to explore and identify challenges in crowdfunded product development, which consequently can lead to failure of the crowdfunding campaign. The review was based on the analysis of a total of 144 successfully funded ‘technology’ campaigns, which all concerned the creation of physical consumer hardware preordered by campaign backers. The analysis was built around a failure mode model, which was established through a pre-study. The study reveals that (i) no more than 32% of the campaigns managed to deliver the crowdfunded products on time, and, if campaigns are delayed, (ii) there is a significantly higher probability that the delivered products might lack expected attributes. The causes for delay have many reasons, but (iii) a set of particular product development issues were identified as the main challenges. A better understanding of crowdfunded product development can help researchers and practitioners to better understand and utilize the opportunities of this new product development paradigm.

“…Crowdsourcing allows access to a large pool of public volunteers, saves time in collecting data, reduces costs, and accelerates the speed of innovation [3,4]. With increasing globalization and continuing internationalization trends, the flattening effect of Globalization 3.0 has created an environment that encourages the growth of crowdsourcing [5]. Crowdsourcing can extend the innovation activities of enterprises to an infinite and vast network space—it also explores, utilizes, and integrates the innovation resources of the whole society and the wisdom of the society through the Internet [6,7,8,9].…”

With the characteristics of low cost and open call, crowdsourcing has been widely adopted in many fields, particularly to support the use of surveys, data processing, and the monitoring of public health. The objective of the current study is to analyze the applications, hotspots, and emerging trends of crowdsourcing in the field of public health. Using CiteSpace for the visualization of scientific maps, this study explores the analysis of time-scope, countries and institutions, authors, published journals, keywords, co-references, and citation clusters. The results show that the United States is the country with the most publications regarding crowdsourcing applications for public health. Howe and Brabham are the two leading authors in this field. Further, most of the articles published in this field are found in medical and comprehensive journals. Crowdsourcing in public health is increasing and diversifying. The results of this study will enable and support the analysis of the specific role of crowdsourcing in the public health ecosystem.
