Organisations are waking up to the need for extending business processes beyond corporate firewalls which implies inclusion of people outside the company as readily as they do people inside the firm thus giving rise to the formation of various online consumption communities. In this research paper, a business online community credibility (BOCC) model was developed by incorporating the perspective of the community manager to measure the credibility of an online consumption community by incorporating the concepts of community dynamics, co-creation, collaboration enabler, CRM goals, return on investment and customer life time value.
