There are many theories useful for framing the cognitive work that groups undertake in CSCW settings,

Dividing work into short and simple subtasks may be more suitable for some areas, while chunking work to avoid the switching costs of people choosing another task to do could be more appropriate to some other markets.
Therefore, it can be concluded that matching the format of the work to the characteristics of the market could possibly lead to a faster outcome with better quality 22.
In conclusion Crowdsourcing is a powerful method to solve a variety of problems in faster and less expensive ways in comparison with traditional ones;
