Abstract

In an open innovation approach, many organisations make use of external skills and resources, such as soliciting the crowd to create value. This practice is called "crowdsourcing". In the Web 2.0 era, it consists in outsourcing some of the tasks usually performed internally or entrusted to identified providers to large networks of internet users. This paper focuses on competitive crowdsourcing, one of many types of crowdsourcing. What are the advantages of this particular means of value creation? What questions does this practice raise? This article aims at enhancing reader understanding through the study of three competitive crowdsourcing platforms.
