The COVID-19 crisis brought about an unprecedented wave of interest into rapid ideation and innovation. Among others, the pandemic triggered a series of collaborative innovation events—so-called hackathons—to leverage the power of the crowd for crisis response. In contrast to earlier hackathons, these events are different in their speed of mobilization, global scale, and their fully virtual nature with organizers and teams being geographically dispersed. Analyzing this new empirical phenomenon, we characterize COVID-19 hackathons against other forms of innovation crowdsourcing and describe challenges and best practices in the areas of people management, session management, technology, and knowledge management. Based on our empirical findings, we develop a conceptual framework that emphasizes the importance of managing virtual crisis hackathons as the integrated sum of its different parts. Empirical evidence is presented to demonstrate how open innovation efforts such as hackathons can be leveraged for crisis management and more generally for ideation activities in increasingly remote working environments. This article contributes to crowdsourcing research by highlighting key differences of virtual hackathons from the traditional crowdsourcing approaches and hackathons investigated by prior research. Moreover, we affirm the value of mobilizing knowledge from different sources, particularly from a broad spectrum of civil society.

... However, very recently, this challenging desire of bridging digital and sustainable goals have led scientific community from interdisciplinary fields -data science, informatics, business, and management -in highlighting a new research objective. Which is to create novel management frameworks or tools, that can help organizations on strategy level in creating a unique integrative digital-sustainable competitive advantage (Bharadwaj et al., 2013, Lobschat et al., 2021Wade et al., 2021, Subramaniam, 2022. Such research objective became more prominent when both, academics and practitioners, from all kinds of global organizations, demanded novel solutions on this matter in the World Economic Forum annual meeting in the year 2021 (The world economic forum, 2021). ...

... Moreover, the combination of diverse knowledge elements stemming from different industries within digital innovation further increases the diversity of innovation actors involved [7]. Consequently, companies increasingly rely on dynamic, heterogeneous groups of innovation actors to develop new product innovation [24]. With the inclusion of diverse actors across unit and firm boundaries, innovation agency has become less predefined and more distributed in the digital age [7]. ...

... For organizations, it means options for online/onsite issuance, flexible data structures, and seamless integration with existing systems. This principle emphasizes the importance of familiarity during the crisis and aligns with the principle "Prioritize digital tools that are easy and familiar over tools that are new" for digital inclusivity (Yokoi et al. 2021 Evaluation indicates that data privacy is not a major concern for users, and complementors are not incentivized to request minimal data. To address this challenge, we reformulate SO-3 to DP4: "Control Data Minimization in Requests." ...

... From the perspective of internal governance, digital technology subverts conventional organization structures while nurturing new business forms (Obwegeser et al. 2020;Hanelt et al. 2021;Qi and Xiao 2020;Zhang and Chen 2020). Specifically, digital technology (i.e., cloud conference and blockchain) enables minority shareholders to participate in or learn about strategic planning, daily business anytime and anywhere, thereby improving the level of internal governance to a certain extent (Lafarre and Van der Elst 2018). ...
