报告内容摘要 | The impact of an increased number of options on the backers' decision of supporting a reward-based project has become the most prevalent topic of online crowdfunding research. The number of options in reward-based crowdfunding projects plays an important role in influencing backers' decisions. However, prior studies provided two-pronged outcomes for the impact on the backers' decision of supporting a project. They also neglected the impact on the backers' decision on which option to select. Anchored on the theories of assortment decisions, we found that the number of options has an inverted U-shaped relationship with the backers' decision on supporting a crowdfunding project. It also has a significant impact on the backers' decision on selecting an option. Three studies were conducted, and they collectively provided a piece of solid evidence to our findings. | |
