Crowdfunding Prospects in New Emerging Markets: The Cases of India and Bangladesh
2020
AbstractCrowdfunding is a viable approach to financing start-ups and supporting social causes in advanced economies. The World Bank estimates a vast potential for crowdfunding also in emerging markets. The South Asia region consists of predominantly collectivist societies where helping others through donations is an integral part of prevailing religious obligations and societal norms. Thus, these countries share certain cultural and religious traits that are highly consistent with the principles of crowdfunding. In the current chapter, we explore the history, ongoing activity, and future prospects of crowdfunding in new emerging markets, specifically, India and Bangladesh. We observe that I…
Crowdfunding as a tool to support sustainability‐oriented initiatives: Preliminary insights into the role of product/service attributes
2019
A common goal of current research seems to uncover whether crowdfunding (CF) could be considered an effective way to support sustainability-oriented initiatives in securing funding, due to diverging results emerging from literature. We claim that the objective of proving whether CF may benefit sustainability-oriented initiatives could be misplaced; rather, we deem more fruitful to understand how critical are some attributes of products/services pursued within CF campaigns to benefiting sustainability-oriented initiatives and increasing their odds of success in CF. We focus on food-related projects as in this sector, sustainability issues apply more than to any other human activities and con…

Beyond Economic Profitability, Sustainable Financing through Crowdfunding
2021
Esta investigación se ha llevado a cabo con el objetivo de determinar la relación entre el crowdfunding y la sostenibilidad. El crowdfunding es una herramienta de financiación que surge de la economía colaborativa, y emplea una plataforma online para poner en común inversores que ofrecen recursos económicos y emprendedores, empresas o individuos que demandan dichos recursos. Con el fin de analizar dicha relación se realiza una revisión de la literatura previa en el tema y se observa que a través de la innovación se crean proyectos sostenibles que son financiados a través de crowdfunding. Estos proyectos significan una solución sostenible que incide en el pensamiento fuera de la caja, y que …
El crowdfunding: función económica, tipologías de la realidad, naturaleza y régimen jurídico
2016
El crowdfunding ha ido evolucionando desde el año 2008 hasta la actualidad, en relación al imparable ascenso de este mecanismo de financiación, que surge como alternativa a la escasez de crédito tradicional ofrecido por el sector bancario, a consecuencia de la crisis económica de finales de 2007. Es por ello, que la primera fase de nuestra investigación se centra básicamente en comprender el origen del crowdfunding, conocer la coyuntura económica en la que crece tan rápidamente, así como su encaje dentro de la nueva economía que surge tras la crisis económica. De este modo podemos comprender con mayor amplitud el fenómeno, una vez analizada la perspectiva económica y técnica del mismo, sien…
Crowdfunding in Africa: Opportunities and Challenges
2020
AbstractThe chapter presents the current state of crowdfunding research and practice in Africa while outlining opportunities and challenges associated with them. Conditions of growing popularity of digital and mobile finance, low penetration of traditional financial institutions, and a long cultural heritage of communal mutual support may enhance crowdfunding uptake. On the other hand, conditions of unclear regulation, relatively low levels of internet access, and societies characterized by low social trust may all hinder crowdfunding uptake. Accordingly, African crowdfunding is at its infancy and involves transitory hybrid practices of early adoption, often involving reliance on foreign co…
