Organizations need to develop effective engagement strategies to engage individuals to contribute and sustain their involvement with innovative ideas. We investigate how feedback can encourage and promote more ideas by considering the source and valence of in-process feedback, user characteristics, and the moderating effect of the aforementioned variables. Our model is tested using a panel linear model and data from the MIUI Forum. We discovered that individuals who received unfavorable peer evaluation reduced subsequent idea generation, with the effect lessening as ideators gained success experience. Whereas receiving positive peer feedback cannot stimulate users’ ideation. Experienced contributors are more motivated (less demotivated) to come up with ideas after receiving positive feedback (negative feedback) from firms. We complement extant research related to feedback by investigating its synergetic effects on ideation and exploring which feedback is more important and their boundary conditions.

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the existing research and summarize the value co-creation mechanism between enterprises and users in crowdsource-based open innovation (COI).

Design/methodology/approach

Crowdsourcing is an effective means for enterprises to launch open innovation. This paper will first introduce the concepts and forms of open innovation and crowdsourcing, and then define COI.

Findings

This paper will analyze the key parties in innovative tasks, value co-creation mechanism that creates ideas, the interaction of key participants and the process of integrating internal and external resources to realize open innovation.

Research limitations/implications

In the end, this paper will put forward the theoretical framework for future studies on the development of COI from the perspective of value co-creation.

Originality/value

This thesis will first introduce the concepts and forms of open innovation and outsourcing and then define COI. Then it will systematically review the existing research studies and summarize the value co-creation mechanism between enterprises and users under COI model by analyzing the key parties in innovative tasks, value co-creation mechanism that creates ideas, the interaction mode of key participants and the process of enterprises integrating internal and external resources to realize open innovation.
