Strategic Approaches to Successful Crowdfunding
As alternative source of financing, microfinance and crowdfunding organizations are increasingly relying on commitment, compliance and cooperation among individuals, groups, and communities. In considering the extraordinary growth of the market for microfunding and microlending in recent years, this article aims to investigate a number of important questions. Can the conventional rule of social collateral applied to group lending be replicated in online crowdfunding? What are the institutional, social and organizational requirements in order to transpose the social collateral model of solidarity and responsibility to heterogeneous online crowdfunding and microlending platforms? What would be the implications for borrowers and lenders in terms of group compliance, collaboration and cooperation? By highlighting the differences and similarities between microfinance and crowdfunding structures, the article seeks to provide a broad comparative framework for analyzing different patterns o...

The present era has witnessed a rapid technological advancement, which has shaped our social connection into a new dimension. Online social networks are gaining acceptance and popularity among masses. PCs and mobile devices are used to connect with each other. Availability of online social networks on remote devices, such as cell phones, has made it even more pervasively. A large population of internet users today is actively participating in online social networks (e.g., Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Blogger). The percentage of members is growing higher each year. Online social networks are a specific type of Virtual Organizations, called informal VOs. This paper focuses on users and resources gathered and provided by online social networks. It presents online social networks as informal VOs and develops a generic pattern of user and its special type, which we call SUBJECT. It identifies the roles served by users as Subjects in online social networks and it reveals how users can be &...
Initiatives to expand the uptake of ICT and electronic commerce in regional and rural regions have been a matter of considerable profile. This paper explores how some businesses and groups are making effective use of a web-based presence and/or online services. Several factors appear to underlie success. These include a high degree of ownership; the ability for multiple users to contribute, to publish and maintain the web-based information and finally the degree to which web-based applications have been tailored to meet the particular business or community purpose.

This essay ponders the theoretical bases for the project of a social history of soil. A case is made that soil history is fundamental to any and all environmental history, not only to agricultural history where soil studies are often relegated. Conversely, history is argued to be essential for scientists to understand the state of soil. Reviewing the state of the literature, it concludes that environmental history has so far paid strikingly little attention to the history of soil. What has been written, including several recent volumes, has concentrated heavily on the history of soil science rather than on the history of soil itself, and tends to adopt a mechanistic interpretation of the relationship between societies and soil, often with a focus on fertility and degradation defined in simple additive terms. Several scientifically outmoded ideas have minimized possible ways of conceptualizing the interactions of society and soil and contributed to the lack of historians' study of soil: the idea of soil as a geological given rather than as a historical product; conceptions of nature in general as homeostatic and cyclic rather than linear and historical; and conceptions of soil as an inert mineral material rather than as a living body. Other social sciences such as archaeology and geology have already progressed significantly along the path of writing a history of the social production of soil. Environmental historians should become conversant in contemporary soil science and engage this neglected but essential field with the particular expertise and approach that historians can bring.

A major theme within the literature on rural development is that the particular mix of formal and informal institutions present in any situation is a key determinant of development outcomes. However, there is some evidence that in policy and practice there are considerable difficulties in articulating formal organizational realities with the rules and norms embedded in informally constructed social structures.

The combination of low-cost access to increasingly powerful computing and networking capabilities combined with a deregulated internet has facilitated the rapid development of a new social phenomena, that of the online community. The potential for near universal internet access and the ability to communicate at costs lower than ever before in human existence has facilitated the development of online communities which work to fulfill two basic human desires, first, to reach out and connect to other human beings and secondly to obtain knowledge. This paper examines the concept and practice of online communities: first, by establishing an understanding of their historical and technological roots; and then by developing a threedimensional taxonomy through which the properties of the communities can be examined. Case study examples are utilized to illustrate the community types within the taxonomy. #
