One of the first books on the European market to\ncomprehensively identify and address issues surrounding\ncrowdfunding. Extensive empirical evidence, knowledge,\nand research ensures its accessibility to a broad spectrum\nof readers. For those interested in practicalities, this book\nshows how best to use information technology and resources\navailable to micro-entities, whereas academics will benefit\nfrom methodologies, as well as ideas and directions for\nfurther research into new forms of economic activity\nin an environment of globalisation and modern IT.

This book is, therefore, of great benefit for economics\nstudents, tutors and lecturers, as well as postgraduate\nstudents of economics, management, and particularly\nMBA students in finance and computer science for\neconomics. Also of interest for managers of institutions,\nbusinesses and foundations reliant on public funding\n(charitable, cultural, educational) for whom crowdfunding is,\nor may become, an important form of fundraising.\nProfessor Dziuba’s book should be mandatory for\ne-commerce and crowdfunding IT platform system designers\nand administrators.
