Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dell used crowdsourcing, which involves obtaining ideas or input from a large group of people (in this case, online users) to generate new ideas for products and improve their web site and marketing strategies. Data mining techniques may involve analyzing large amounts of data to identify patterns and insights, but it is not the same as crowdsourcing. Brainstorming and outsourcing involve generating ideas internally or hiring outside professionals to do so. Cloud computing may play a role in the platform used to host the crowdsourcing initiative, but it is not the method used to generate ideas.
