How Does the Management of Multiple Stakeholders’ Interests Influence Decision-Making Processes? Exploring the Case of Crowdsourced Placemaking

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

Considering the difficulties that concern the stakeholder engagement, there is a strong debate on the opportunities that web 2.0 and crowdsourcing platforms can arise to resolve decision-making and facilitate alternative choices. The paper is based on the analysis of two companies that use a platform of crowdsourced placemaking trying to engage multiple stakeholders to construct and discuss about the most relevant solutions. This is an explorative paper that tries to understand the new phenomenon.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For this reason an for a more rapid reading of the next paragraphs I decided to classify the two companies in this way: when I will talk about the once that uses their own program I will talk about the closed company, on the other hand when I will talk about the second one I will talk about the open company.
