Kickstarter, the largest crowdfunding platform, has helped media entrepreneurs successfully fund over 57 800 projects in the last 6 years across 5 different project categories. To have a successful funding cycle, entrepreneurs need to leverage their promotional skills and their network actions. Previous crowdfunding research (Agrawal et al., 2010, Mollick, 2014, Zheng et al., 2014) has shown how the entrepreneur's social network ties, may positively affect their ability to reach the desired funding goal. But how does their built network inside the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, impact project performance? Kickstarter lets entrepreneurs engage with an audience of possible backers - project creators can post project updates, can write comments and back other creators’ projects. Those interchangeable roles - project creators can be ...

Ao mesmo passo que a critica de teatro vai desaparecendo dos principais jornais e revistas nacionais, as agendas culturais vao assumindo um papel cada vez mais consolidado enquanto fontes principais e preferenciais de informacao acerca dos espetaculos teatrais. O panorama descrito suscita duas interrogacoes centrais: A que se deve o progressivo desvanecimento da critica de teatro na imprensa portuguesa? De que modo e que este fenomeno, enquanto pratica do jornalismo cultural, evoluiu ao longo dos tempos? No sentido de ir ao encontro destas questoes, adotamos o Systematic Combining (Dubois e Gadde, 2002) como principal metodologia de investigacao. Esta metodologia de carater abdutivo permitiunos realizar simultânea e dinamicamente a pesquisa teorica e a pesquisa empirica, atraves da combinacao estruturada dos raciocinios indutivo e dedutivo, tracando caminhos que partiram do universo teorico par...

It occurs when a large group of people, seen as the crowd, agrees to collaborate with small amounts of money to a project, in exchange for a reward. This concept is not new, but a recent internet-based and ex-ante approach, in the form of open call, provides new applications for it. Ex-ante is a game changer vision once no investment is realized until the financial goals are achieved. This allows the test of creative and innovative ideas that would seem risky to invest without further warranties. Crowdfunding is a subset of crowdsourcing, in which internet connects people with money to the people who need it. Howe (2008) underlines that crowdfunding is about social networking, since entrepreneurs are able to advertise their projects through all their friends and acquaints just by sharing a link. Crowdfunding can also represent a new...
