This book distinctively presents nine thematic discussions with live examples of small and large companies across the geographic destinations. Among many points of interest crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, decision-processes, technology, leadership, consumer behavior, crowd-based services designing, and future perspectives in the context of crowd-based business modelling and collective intelligence are central to the discussions in the book. This book argues that crowd is the pivot of marketing. It fills the knowledge gap on people-led enterprises by integrating the customer ideation process in developing crowd-based business models to achieve performance with purpose and proposes crowd-based business strategies in the emerging markets and significantly contributes to the existing literature.
