Research on Backers’ Motivations in Reward-Based Crowdfunding with Analytic Network Process

Not just an ego-trip: Exploring backers' motivation for funding in incentive-based crowdfunding

Incentive-based forms of crowdfunding – such as reward-, equityand lending-based crowdfunding – are becoming increasingly popular. However, research that studies backers’ motivations for funding in these environments is still in an embryonic state, revealing an inconsistent and narrow picture. The few existing studies are largely guided by the idea that backers are mainly egoistically motivated...

The Analytic Network Process

Abstract   The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basic structure is an influence network of clusters and nodes contained within the clusters. Priorities are established in the same way they are in the AHP using pairwise comparisons and judgment. Many decision problems cannot be structured hierarchically because they involve the inter...

Research on the Maintenance Decision Model for Marine Equipment Based on Analytic Network Process

Abstract Maintenance policy selection for vessel equipment is a multiple criteria decision making. To ensure security, reliability and efficiency of vessel equipment, a maintenance decision model based on risk, availability and cost was proposed according to the characteristics of vessel equipment maintenance. For modeling, analytic network process (ANP) has been employed. And the maintenance p...
