| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have examined Japan’s crowdfunding approach, which is somewhat different from that of the Western countries, by highlighting a specific crowdfunding platform (Music Securities) and a crowdfund-backed firm (SABAR restaurant). Further, we have explored the suitability of Japan’s crowdfunding approach for addressing the financial needs of SMEs in developing countries, using Bangladesh as a case. Besides, we have extensively reviewed concepts, types, models, growth, theories and patterns of crowdfunding, and outlined some future research directions. Moreover, we have provided some lessons on crowdfunding. We have disseminated our research results in academic conferences and articles. Most importantly, we have written a book on Crowdfunding: Lessons from Japan’s Approach. Springer will publish this book in June 2018. As a whole, our research will benefit novices, academics, researchers, and policymakers interested in crowdfunding technology.
