Companies need to take the shift in rela-tionships into account when managing customer relationships in the age of digital-ization. Customers are now more involved and adopt a more powerful position as market participants. Simultaneously, companies are able to interact with their cus-tomers directly. One new media phenomenon is the emergence of virtual commu-nities which are hosted by firms for commercial purposes. Virtual communities permit companies to enhance the customer-firm-relationship and promote consumer-to-consumer interactions.

Thus, the research question of this seminar paper pertains to this issue: What motivates consumers to participate in firm-hosted virtual P3 communities?
