One of the first books on the European market to

comprehensively identify and address issues surrounding

crowdfunding. Extensive empirical evidence, knowledge,

and research ensures its accessibility to a broad spectrum

of readers. For those interested in practicalities, this book

shows how best to use information technology and resources

available to micro-entities, whereas academics will benefit

from methodologies, as well as ideas and directions for

further research into new forms of economic activity

in an environment of globalisation and modern IT.

This book is, therefore, of great benefit for economics

students, tutors and lecturers, as well as postgraduate

students of economics, management, and particularly

MBA students in finance and computer science for

economics. Also of interest for managers of institutions,

businesses and foundations reliant on public funding

(charitable, cultural, educational) for whom crowdfunding is,

or may become, an important form of fundraising.

Professor Dziuba?s book should be mandatory for

e-commerce and crowdfunding IT platform system designers

and administrators.
