Abstract
So far, few study discusses the difference among the concepts of “user Co-Creation field,” which leads to a concepts confusion. We are motivated to deeply discussed the concepts of this field (e.g., Peer Production, Prosumer,, Collective Intelligence, etc.). In detail, we categorize the concepts in four types from the usage perspective. We then explain the backgrounds and the contexts of concepts in order to clarify their relationships. Besides, we investigate the negative outcomes bear from the concepts confusion and provide some suggestions for the future study. This study adds to the literature by showing an alternative way to clarify the concepts of “user Co-Creation field”.
