2 - 2 - PART I: ACCESS TO INFORMATION FROM WRITTEN TEXTS (60 points) Read the article below and then answer questions 1-7. THE POWER OF THE CROWD Have you ever had the urge to improve the design of a product so that it would be more attractive, more practical, or easier to operate? You are not alone people all over the world believe they could do a better job than the professionals. Nowadays they are getting a chance to prove it: more and more manufacturers are making use of "crowdsourcing," a new business strategy in which companies ask for and get help from the general public, also known as "the crowd." The term "crowdsourcing" was first coined in 2006 by journalist Jeff Howe to describe a trend he was seeing in a wide range of industries, from pharmaceuticals to electronics. Companies across the globe were turning to consumers for help in improving a service, solving a problem, or designing a product. Thanks to the Internet, Howe noted, they were reaching huge numbers of potential contributors of all ages and professional backgrounds, and quickly getting their input. The best suggestions were then selected and implemented. Crowdsourcing can be used both to seek out new ideas and to evaluate their market potential. The American T-shirt maker Threadless, for example, has a website where it receives hundreds of T-shirt designs from amateur and professional artists every week. Visitors to the site are invited to rate each design on a scale from 0 to 5, and to indicate whether they would actually buy the shirt if it were manufactured, enabling Threadless to estimate potential sales. The most popular designs are put into production. In a similar way, the Japanese manufacturer Henka asks the registered members of its website about half a million in number to suggest novel products for the home. Members also rate the ideas, and those with the highest scores are given to the company's professional designers for development. Consequently, both Threadless and Henka are able to offer customers a wide range of choices with proven appeal, thereby reducing the economic risks usually involved in developing new products. /המשך בעמוד 3/

3 While participation in crowdsourcing may win the contributors some sort of cash prize, they are rarely motivated by financial gain. Far more often people take on a task in the hope of being noticed by a potential employer. Other major incentives include the intellectual challenge and the social and professional prestige that could come from public acknowledgement of their work. Threadless, for instance, rewards contributors by putting the name of the designer on every T-shirt it manufactures. How common is crowdsourcing likely to become? Howe himself felt there are reasons to believe that the examples of crowdsourcing he was seeing were just the beginning of a major change in the way companies do business. "Actually," he wrote, "there are about 200 million reasons to believe it. That's the rough number of kids around the world that currently have Internet access."
