Crowdsourcing for Business

Everyone is a talent. Some one is good at writing; some one is skilled in cooking, while some one is expert in design…We are experts in some fields, but we can not be experts for all fields. During our business life, we have to deal with many fields, how can we do well when we are not experts in those fields? Yes, right, ask related experts to do that. However, almost all companies can not hire all experts in the company; we have to find experts outside the company. What can we do that? Now days, there is a model - crowdsourcing, which we can get service from other experts.
