摘要：The explosive growth of the Internet has led to a more connected world, and as a consequence,crowdsourcing has become an efficient and inexpensive option worldwide. Crowdsourcing is an increasingly populartrend in which firms solicit assistance from the public for their activities that are typically performed by employees orcontractors. This study proposes a crowdsourcing classification model and applies it to various crowdsourcing cases byexamining the motivation and implications of some popular websites exemplifying crowdsourcing-based activitiesranging from content ideas (the process of generating new ideas) to content services (providing customers with ongoingservices). Other activities include designing, generating, subcontracting, and reviewing content and evaluating contentsolutions. Finally, the study proposes a taxonomy of crowdsourcing activities that has important theoretical andpractical implications. This study offers interesting avenues for future research and provides insightful guidelines forcrowdsourcing practitioners.
