One of the main issues of business world is competition and competitiveness, and this cannot be happened unless one company absorb new ideas and innovations. Based on what scholars mentioned, companies should utilize users instead of professionals in order to create new innovations, and this is due to that users have better understanding of what users want. As a result, in the mobile platforms, platform owners need to know how to invoke users to create more innovative apps. In this research we were into finding important matters that increase number of innovation of users. We saw that lead-userness, toolkit support, work method autonomy, knowledge sharing, and modularity have an impact on quantity of user’s innovation. We also examined the moderator effect of variables on the relation of lead-userness and quantity of user’s innovation. Goal of this research is to explore effective factor on quantity of user’s innovation and their causal relations. With doing that, we had contribution to the theoretical knowledge of platforms, user innovation, knowledge sharing, and modularity
