Sub symbols in the community involvement category
The Symbol Library further expanding to include illustrations of the different elements within each main category of Open Business models. Models centered around Upgrade, Related Services, Access and Community Involvement (visit the Symbol Library to get a thorough description of the various categories.)
Todays contribution is the sub symbols related to the Community Involvement category.
Business models within this category are identified by opening up of your creative work, providing interest parties with a platform to contribute to and comment on your work, and adding value.
So far I have identified 7 different business aspects based on community participation:
 |
Open ideation - involving a community to contribute in the idea generation phase of a work. |
 |
Open production - involving a community to contribute in the production phase of a work. |
 |
Open post development - involving a community to contribute in the continuous development of a work through remixes, version updates etc. |
 |
Open distribution - involving a community to contribute in the distribution a work. |
 |
Donation - creating a platform/functionality allowing a connected community to donate to your cause. |
 |
Sharing economy - establish a platform where a community connected to your work can exchange ideas, know-how/expertise etc. |
The last sub-category, Labor Exchange is still to be illustrated. It relates to business models where a connected community performs a small task (often tasks that calls for human intelligence, f.x solving a Captcha-test) to gain access to a free product/service.
Any suggestion for how that can be illustrated is more than welcomed.
