1. What is Crowdsourcing?

Work effectively and efficiently

“Crowdsourcing” is a coined word that is made up of the word “crowd”, as in a large group of people, and “source (sourcing)”, which refers to outsourcing. This new business model allows you to outsource tasks to an unspecified large number of people with expert knowledge in their field.
