Abstract—As a typical emerging area, crowdsourcing is promoting the contact among the people, organization, society and cooperation. It has been more and more popular that crowdsourcing model is used to solve business problems and take advantage of market opportunities. In this paper, we first review the concept, feature, process of crowdsourcing. Then we distinguish crowdsourcing from outsourcing and point out crowdsourcing’s function on companies. Third, we make deep analysis on Weichaishi’s crowdsourcing platform in China from the perspective of the operating process, management mechanism and relationship among crowd and outsoucer. At last, we look forward the future study.
