Innovative Consumer Behavior in Online Communities
In this study, we analyze creative consumer behavior in online basketball communities. More precisely, we are interested in the kind of ideas generated, how innovations in online communities develop, and how the members of online communities support each other in generating creative solutions. While the process of innovation slightly differs between Chinese- and English-speaking online communities, the quality and quantity of the ideas developed is impressive in both cultures. Various examples indicate that community members, in principle, are willing to share their ideas with manufacturers.
