Abstract

More and more consumers base their buying decision process on online reviews. Not surprisingly, researches show that online reviews have an actual impact on revenues. As a result, a new product can disappear even before it makes it to the market. How to make sure that the new product will get positive online reviews before it goes to market? By evaluating the market value of a new product before and after Crowdsourcing, we offer the proof-of-concept that crowd-wisdom pertaining to new-product idea generation improves its market value significantly, both in term of ratings and comments after just one integration of the crowd into the new product development process. The improvement took place before a large investment was done. More surprisingly, this market value after Crowdsourcing is the same for the Crowd involved in the Crowdsourcing process than for the potential customers of the new product created by using this process.
