Crowdfunding is a relatively nascent, rapidly growing phenomenon whereby individuals or ventures pursue funding from a potentially large number of backers via the Internet. This rapidly emerging literature invites a variety of conceptual lenses and offers significant potential to advance theoretical understanding of important organizational activities, such as how entrepreneurs and organizations are evaluated by external stakeholders or how the crowdfunding process shapes the strategic decisions of emerging organizations. Our integrative review seeks to discover how the extant body of crowdfunding research challenges, extends, and contributes to the theoretical understanding of management and organizational phenomena and how these insights might drive further theoretical advancement. To do so, we inductively identify ten dominant topics that span the crowdfunding landscape across disciplines (268 articles) and synthesize the major findings within each topic based on relevant theoretical concepts. In doing so, we highlight how each topic area has applied and advanced various organizational theories. We then leverage the ten topics to articulate opportunities for future research uncovered by our review that provide potential contributions to theories germane to the management literature and to guide the next decade of crowdfunding research.

众筹：以理论为中心的多学科文献综述和路线图


众筹是一种相对较新、快速增长的现象，个人或企业通过互联网从潜在的大量支持者那里寻求资金。这些迅速涌现的文献引入了各种概念视角，并为推进对重要组织活动的理论理解提供了巨大的潜力，例如外部利益相关者如何评估企业家和组织，或者众筹过程如何塑造新兴组织的战略决策。我们的综合综述旨在发现现有的众筹研究主体如何挑战、扩展和促进对管理和组织现象的理论理解，以及这些见解如何推动进一步的理论进步。为此，我们归纳确定了跨越跨学科众筹领域的十个主要主题（268 篇文章），并根据相关理论概念综合了每个主题中的主要发现。在此过程中，我们强调了每个主题领域如何应用和推进各种组织理论。然后，我们利用这十个主题来阐明我们的综述所发现的未来研究机会，这些机会为与管理文献密切相关的理论提供潜在贡献，并指导未来十年的众筹研究。
