Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Additional field(s): Economics, Internet, e-Commerce, Management
English term or phrase: crowdsourcing
Definition from Jeff Howe:
Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call.

Example sentence(s):
  • Cash is key to getting people to participate, but successful crowdsourcing taps into a well of passion about a product that stretches beyond monetary incentives. Bloomberg L.P.
  • Surprisingly for a sector that has traditionally relied on volunteers to make up for its limited resources, development institutions have been slow to embrace "crowdsourcing" as a model for adding value The World Bank Group
  • So, are crowdsourced translations the future of our business? Probably not. Will crowdsourcing play a role in some sectors of the translation business? Probably. ForeignExchange Translations, Inc.

Explanation:
Jeg er klar over at man i de fleste tilfeller bare oversetter med "crowdsourcing", men tenkte jeg skulle forslå noe mer "kreativt". Har også sett oversettelsen "kollektive samskapingsprosesser".
