Statement 1 is incorrect. Crowdsourcing is the collection of information, opinions, or work from a group of people, usually sourced via the Internet. While crowdsourcing seeks information or work product, crowdfunding seeks money to support individuals, charities, or startup companies. People can contribute to crowdfunding requests with no expectation of repayment, or companies can offer shares of the business to contributors. Outsourcing is an agreement in which one company hires another company to be responsible for a planned or existing activity that is or could be done internally, and sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another. Crowdsourcing work allows companies to save time and money while tapping into people with different skills or thoughts from all over the world. The advantages of crowdsourcing include cost savings, speed, and the ability to work with people who have skills that an in-house team may not have. If a task typically takes one employee a week to perform, a business can cut the turnaround time to a matter of hours by breaking the job up into many smaller parts and giving those segments to a crowd of workers. Uber and Ola are companies based on this model. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
