The crowd thus provides the necessary resources, such as knowledge, time and skills, to solve an organization’s problems. Crowdsourcing consists in outsourcing tasks to large networks of Internet users. The activities entrusted to the crowd are varied: creating a new design, translating the Web, monitoring surveillance cameras, etc. However, this crowd activity is not necessarily paid. Crowdsourcing is therefore not considered either a volunteer activity or a real job. This article examines the blurring of the boundaries of work and organizations generated by crowdsourcing.
