    Finding new sources for ideas and solutions is central to the innovation process. Organizations are increasing the use of crowd and crowd-based platforms to find novel solutions, raise capital, develop new products, pursue collaborative ventures, and develop outcome-based services. Researchers are using crowdsourcing to describe this breadth and depth of organizational level engagement with the crowd for explaining search behavior for innovative action. Despite crowdsourcing's potential, most of the research on crowdsourcing focuses around the end functionality of crowdsourcing in the innovation process (e.g., end-product development, continuous feedback, and collaborative ventures). What is missing from the current research is a certain level of inquiry into the theoretical foundations and their implications for subjects like organizational forms and institutional logic that are central for crowd-level engagement. Against this background, this study identifies emerging research themes within crowdsourcing, and maps out the future research lines.

    There is growing trend towards the use of crowd by organizations for idea generation, finding novel solutions and even financing to scale up new ventures. As a result, the academic discourse on crowdsourcing is on the rise (see Afuah & Tucci, 2012; Lehner, 2013; Jeppensen & Lakahani, 2010) particularly due to some anecdotal evidence of various organizations like Mosaic Inc, Wikipedia, Threadline, and Innocentive. However, for most organizations, crowdsourcing is particularly unfamiliar ground. It requires new thinking, new resources and new capabilities to effectively navigate the creative and unpredictable processes of engaging with the crowd, and manage both high-impact results and risks. This is also true in the academic literature of crowdsourcing. We find that the body of literature that has been produced is detailed but constricted, often drawing insights within distinct disciplines such as finance, entrepreneurship or marketing. This paper contributes on three levels: firstly, it provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on crowdsourcing by theorizing different forms of crowdsourcing and subsets that are often used interchangeably. Secondly, by defining the different theoretical constructs related to crowdsourcing, it maps out a research agenda. Lastly, it proposes a classification of crowdsourcing initiatives based on the mode/level of engagement with the crowd. Finally, by producing a holistic research agenda, this article acts as catalyst for improving the navigation complexity for organizations and scholars alike.
