The Economic Leverage of the Virtual Community
Abstract
The virtual community represents one of the most interesting developments of the information age. There has been much popular discussion of the economic potential of virtual communities, but little empirical evidence of successful economic leverage. Beginning with some background on virtual communities, this article reviews theoretical perspectives applicable to their management and economic leverage, presents an appropriate conceptual framework to support such leverage, and concludes with some managerial guidelines for successful implementation. The article's primary thesis is that economic activities associated with the virtual community must not merely concide with its social interactions, but be embedded within them.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
