Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Development

Crowdsourcing is very relevant in the literature, because of its impact on the performance of organisations in the new virtual environment. Its importance is crucial in a world where e-commerce, new technologies and artificial intelligence are becoming more and more prevalent, and where organizations require the generation of new data and ideas that increasingly come from outside the organisations. This paper reviews the literature on crowdsourcing, analysing the main trends in the area. To do so, the paper uses different bibliometric techniques, as well as an in-depth literature review. The results indicate that the study of crowdsourcing has moved from a conceptual review to increasingly practical applications. Management, Computer science and secondly Geography and Psychology remain the main areas of research in the topic. Diverse sub-areas linked to "task analysis", "citizen science", "social media", and "machine learning" are preponderant. The paper highlights the managerial side of Crowdsourcing, with innovations related to the evolution of technological applications related to the new ubiquitous web, and the personal aspects of the participants. The work helps to observe research trends and the various uses, potentials and key elements of their implementation, which is important for researchers and practitioners.

Crowdsourcing: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

The new environment of technological development has led to&nbsp;a transformation of teaching and learning methodologies, especially in&nbsp;the field of language teaching. In this field, the so-called Crowdsourcing, applied in other fields, is an essential&nbsp;element to be considered. This paper tries to identify the applications of Crowdsourcing for teaching and learning. The&nbsp;aim is to&nbsp;observe the state of the art and its trends in&nbsp;order to&nbsp;improve efficiency in&nbsp;learning processes. The&nbsp;paper analyses 192 documents on crowdsourcing and language teaching and&nbsp;learning,&nbsp;extracted from the Web&nbsp;of Science in&nbsp;the period&nbsp;2012 to&nbsp;2023. The article carries out a literature review and performs a bibliometric and visualisation&nbsp;analysis essentially on journals, authors and&nbsp;keywords. The&nbsp;results show&nbsp;the importance&nbsp;of crowdsourcing in&nbsp;language teaching and&nbsp;learning, and&nbsp;the particularities of aspects such as Crowdteaching and Crowdlearning associated with&nbsp;new methodologies and&nbsp;technological developments. New trends indicate the relevance&nbsp;of including aspects such as, apart from language and linguistic considerations technological&nbsp;developments such as machine learning,&nbsp;natural language processing, sentiment&nbsp;analysis, or classification models. The&nbsp;results offer guidance to&nbsp;researchers and&nbsp;teachers to&nbsp;plan their research and&nbsp;to improve language teaching and&nbsp;learning processes.

Management of Crowdsourcing in Language Teaching and Learning: The State-of-the-art and Future Directions

This paper aims to investigate an agile, knowledge-based, innovative,&nbsp;and integrated solution for businesses, i.e., “Digital entrepreneurship”, which&nbsp;means creating new ventures and transforming existing businesses by developing&nbsp;novel digital technologies and novel usage of such technologies. On the one&nbsp;hand, financing the projects is unaffordable for the companies, and a&nbsp;crowdsourcing platform is a good way to mitigate the burden of expenditure. The&nbsp;Digital Entrepreneurship process is a multidisciplinary field: developing&nbsp;software is rooted in information systems (IS), conceptualising business&nbsp;models, and formulating strategy. In addition to that, digital entrepreneurship&nbsp;is located at the junction of knowledge, business, and institutional&nbsp;entrepreneurship. This complicated nature of digital entrepreneurship requires&nbsp;a strategy. The type of opportunities they pursue characterises the strategy of&nbsp;formation and sustainability for a new venture; therefore, the entrepreneurs&nbsp;need to select strategies to make the best position according to their&nbsp;resources or the attainable resources through crowdsourcing.&nbsp; We shed light on the importance of&nbsp;crowdsourcing to have a successful state-of-the-art business after reviewing&nbsp;the background of digital entrepreneurship, crowdsourcing, and the digital&nbsp;entrepreneurship strategy.
