Erfolg bei Crowdfunding-Kampagnen: Eine Perspektive aus E-Commerce und Social Media (Crowdfunding Success: A Perspective from Social Media and E-Commerce)

Michael Beier; Kerstin Wagner

German Abstract: Mit Crowdfunding hat sich in den letzten Jahren eine neue Finanzierungsform etabliert. Bislang ist jedoch nur wenig darüber bekannt, wie Projektinitiatoren die Erfolgschancen in ihren Crowdfunding-Kampagnen steigern können, indem sie sog. „On-Page“ (auf der Projektseite) und „Off-Page“ Kommunikationsmass-nahmen (ausserhalb der Projektseite) einsetzen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag untersuchen wir bei 740 Crowdfunding-Kampagnen der Schweizer Plattform 100-days.net, inwieweit sich derartige kommunikationsbezogene Massnahmen der Projektinitiatoren auf ver-schiedene Erfolgsmasse der Kampagnen auswirken. Dabei analysieren wir mögliche Effekte auf: (1) die Anzahl der Zahlungen, (2) die durchschnittliche Höhe der Zahlungen und (3) den letztendlichen Kampagnenerfolg. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Nutzung reichhaltiger Medien und zahlreiche Projekt-Updates die Erfolgschancen steigern. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigen sich keine Effekte aufgrund der einfachen Einbindung von Social Media Kanälen in Crowdfunding-Kampagnen. English Abstract: Crowdfunding as a new way of financing in the web 2.0 has increased over the last years, but only little is known how project initiators increase their chances of successful fundraising through on-page and off-page communication activities. Using a dataset of 740 projects published on one of the dominant crowdfunding platforms in Switzerland, we test communication-related determinants of fundraising success in terms of (1) number of donations (2) average amount of donations and (3) total campaign success. Our results show that high media richness in the project presentation and a high frequency of project updates leverage fundraising success. In contrast, no beneficial effects of the mere application of social media channels could be observed. The implications for research on crowdfunding and practice are discussed.

Regional Differences in Entrepreneurship Education

Kerstin Wagner; Frank Bau; Jürgen Schmude; Michael Dowling

One of the major problems still faced by entrepreneurship scholars in their field is the difficulty of creating a conceptual framework, integrating entrepreneurship theory-development into a coherent scheme. The discussion of what entrepreneurship research is about has been conducted by numerous authors (e.g. Busenitz et al., 2003; Bygrave and Hofer, 1991; Davidsson and Wiklund, 2001; Gartner, 2001; Low and MacMillan, 1988; Shane and Venkataraman, 2000). There is consensus that entrepreneurship research can include the creation and development of new organizations. However, this is not sufficient, because entrepreneurship can also happen within existing organizations or, furthermore, opportunities can be sold to other individuals or to existing organizations (Shane and Venkataraman, 2000, 219).
