The gains from crowdsourcing can be high, but so can the risks. Contests may become a nightmare for the sponsoring organization if the innovators do not behave as planned. When contest managers act in undesirable ways from a participant’s perspective, community members might bash, shame or ridicule a company. To prevent “firestorms” – negative, often highly emotional posts in social media that are eagerly taken over by traditional media – project sponsors need to ensure fairness throughout the contest. The value of the price and the procedures for selecting winners must be fair and transparent – and companies need to stick to predefined rules. Organizations that succeed in keeping their community motivated might not only benefit from new ideas, but also from additional positive effects. Devoting time, skills and personal engagement to developing new ideas for a company favors intense relationships, and participants often become passionate brand followers. By communicating openly about their approach of open innovation, companies can also foster their innovative image.

<DIV align=left> The NIM Marketing Intelligence Review (NIM MIR) is a leading global journal for marketing decision makers. It offers marketing knowledge from well-known academic think tanks all over the world, and focuses on all aspects of marketing intelligence, e.g. new strategies based on academic and empirical market analyses, new models and methods enabling more effective marketing decision making, and state-of-the-art articles on current fields of marketing research. Readers will be informed about important developments in marketing theory, marketing methodology and marketing strategies. Volumes 1 to 10 were published under the name GfK Marketing Intelligence Review (GFK MIR). The first issue was published in June 2009. The NIM MIR delivers relevant insights from academic research, using practical and accessible rather than academic language, supported by professional journalists who "translate" academic papers. We publish papers that contribute new and often fascinating knowledge, for instance about customer behavior, brand or pricing strategies, data analysis or decision making techniques. All papers are intensively reviewed from an academic as well as a practical perspective. Our mission is to present high-quality articles by top authors whose work has appeared in leading academic marketing journals, thereby allowing readers to follow the progress of marketing science. The NIM MIR is aiming to achieve a high level of acceptance and an excellent reputation among upscale target groups within marketing management, and among marketing instructors looking for interesting applications of the latest marketing concepts and methods. Readers of the NIM MIR have their fingers right on the pulse of marketing science The NIM Marketing Intelligence Review is published by the <A href="http://www.nim.org/">Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions</A> (Nürnberg Institut für Marktentscheidungen e.V., formerly the GfK Verein e.V.), which has long-held academic ties with the University of Nuremberg, Germany. The NIM has repositioned itself as an interdisciplinary, non-commercial institute for researching market decision. The NIM remains majority shareholder of the Nuremberg based market research company GfK. The MIR is managed by a team of managers and marketing scholars from universities all over the world (See editorial board). Each issue has a special topic and is edited by a leading researcher in the respective field. It is published biannually in May and October of each year.
