Choosing the right crowd: an iterative process for crowd specification in crowdsourcing initiatives
conference contribution
posted on 2017-02-08, 09:30 authored by Eoin Cullina, Kieran Conboy, Lorraine MorganCrowdsourcing enables organizations to obtain
dynamic solutions from large and diverse crowds of
individuals. With the advent of IT-mediated ecosystems
crowdsourcing initiatives readily possess a means to
mediate, regulate and refine crowdsourcing sub
processes including the process of vetting and selecting
crowd membership (crowd specification sub process).
Despite this fact there is ambiguity in current research
as to what constitutes a crowd. Furthermore,
traditional crowd selection processes show signs of
limited application and are often conducted (i) once, at
a fixed stage in the process and (ii) by the process
initiators. This research-in-progress paper seeks to
address constraints caused by the limited application
of these processes. Firstly, a definition of the crowd is
formulated from concepts identified in literature.
Secondly, an iterative conceptual model is advanced
from theory that facilitates the creation of a crowd
tailored for tasks of varying size and complexity.
