Growing pains and blessings: Manifestations and implications of equity crowdfunding industry maturation
2022
The equity crowdfunding industry has grown significantly in the past decade. Industry life cycle theory suggests that growth dynamics and relations between stakeholders change as industries mature. The present study examines the characteristics and implications of maturation in the equity crowdfunding industry via the lens of industry life cycle theory. Specifically, we explore whether the industry is reverting to traditional entrepreneurial finance practice, or whether it retains its original distinguishing characteristics. Accordingly, we first assess changes with respect to users (investors) and products (campaigns and investment objects). Second, we assess the implications of these chan…

Supply chain coordination under asymmetric information and partial vertical integration
2022
AbstractSupply chain contracting is known to suffer from inefficiency in the presence of asymmetric information. Full vertical integration would eliminate the informational inefficiency but can be strategically undesirable. Yet today’s supply chain partnerships exhibit a certain degree of partial vertical integration via equity ties between the firms. Such governance forms received limited attention in supply chain research. Management literature suggests that partial vertical integration may help the firms to ease contracting problems by aligning their incentives, and thus improve the total surplus. We address this proposition by studying a model of a partially integrated supply chain in w…

Donation Crowdfunding : Principles and Donor Behaviour
2020
AbstractDonation crowdfunding is a form of internet-enabled fundraising where backers provide funding based on philanthropic motivations without expectation of monetary or material rewards.

The chapter provides an overview of the limited research on donation crowdfunding while highlighting donor motivations and behaviour, as well as drivers of success in donation campaigns.

Crowdfunding Music : A look at crowdfunding as an alternative source of funding for independent creators within the recorded music industry
2017
Master's thesis Music Management MU501 - University of Agder 2017 With larger crowdfunding campaigns getting the media hype for crowdfunding going, crowdfunding is often touted as the future of creative project funding. With examples like Amanda Palmer always being presented, is crowdfunding the future and saviour of funding for recorded music projects? This is what this thesis is trying to answer, to see if crowdfunding is a suitable alternate way of funding projects. The subject is an oftendiscussed one, but a subject that has not seen much academic research. The success of Amanda Palmer can often be put down to her already having fans from previous work with The Dresden Dolls. But that i…
Hvordan påvirker et ønske om låtandeler produsentens kreative valg i studio?
2016
Masteroppgave i Music management MU501 - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Musikkteknologi har endevendt musikkbransjen, fra produksjonsbånd til sluttbruker. Der man tidligere henvendte seg for å kjøpe musikk fra en forhandler, skriver man nå inn kredittkortinformasjon for å få tilgang til hele verdensrepertoaret via. telefonen sin. Hvilken påvirkning har denne revolusjonen hatt på produsentrollen? Moderne produsenter jobber ikke kun på oppdrag fra et plateselskap, men ofte for artister som selv finansierer og eier innspillingen. Disse jobber gjerne sammen på et håndtrykk, uten noen satt avtale om kompensasjon i forkant. Nå som produsenter har fått et større kunstnerisk mandat med et mindre honora…
