Crowdsourcing describes the Outsourcing of traditionally internal subtasks to voluntary users, for example on the internet. It is often used by companies, which invites the crowd to take part in special parts of the innovation- or production-process. The collective knowledge of the crowd is used to solve problems in research and development.
