Jarvenpaa, Sirkka L., and Karl R. Lang. "Boundary management in online communities: Case studies of the Nine Inch Nails and ccMixter music remix sites." Long Range Planning 44.5-6 (2011): 440-457.

This study examines the complex nature of boundaries in online communities, specifically within the context of nontraditional, nonhierarchical organizations like music remix sites nin.com and ccMixter.org. It highlights the shift from traditional organizational boundaries to those that encompass identity, power, and competence, which are co-managed by platform providers, community members, and content owners. The paper explores how these boundaries interact and can be integratively managed to foster creative content production, providing insights into the nuanced role of boundary management in facilitating creativity in online communities.
