Abstract

Recent online innovation support tools, such as crowdfunding platforms, have made it easier for novice innovators to develop and implement their work in the real world. However, novice innovators often fail to connect with mentors in these contexts, which limits their ability to develop successful products. Theories of learning and innovation describe the importance of working in a social context to acquire needed resources. By designing tools that encourage and scaffold the act of help-seeking, we can connect more novice innovators with potential mentors. The goal of my dissertation is to 1) develop an emergent model of online help-seeking behavior for novice innovators, 2) identify features novice innovators use to inform mentor connection decisions, and 3) design and evaluate a tool that scaffolds novice-mentor connection in innovation communities.
