1) Intellectual property risk
Intellectual property risk. Under crowdsourcing mode, the discussion on intellectual property rights is still inconclusive. Crowdsourcing is based on the non-contractual relationship between enterprises and the public. Most contractors have not signed contracts with enterprises, that is to say, in the process of completing the task, it is not clear which content is the information of intellectual property rights, nor is it clear who owns the intellectual property rights between the public and enterprises. On the other hand, while completing the task, the public will inevitably learn some related technologies of enterprises. If the key technology inadvertently flows into the hands of powerful competitors, it will surely cause disaster. Intellectual property disputes will become an obstacle between the public and enterprises.
2) Ability risk
Ability risk refers to the risk that the ability of the task recipient does not match the difficulty of the task. There are two situations that can lead to capacity risk. First, the contractor contracts out businesses that are not suitable for crowdsourcing mode, such as the uniqueness of the task enterprise. The second situation is caused by various uncertainties at both ends of the Internet. The level of knowledge and ability of contracted talents cannot be determined, and the completion of tasks may not meet the needs of enterprises.
3) Information risk
Information risk. In the complete life cycle of a crowdsourcing task, * * * involves three parties, namely employers, intermediaries and contractors. The employer entrusts the task to the intermediary, and the intermediary then recruits talents. The intermediary can't fully understand the information and reputation of the employer and the difficulty of specific tasks, and can't fully determine the level and truth of the contractor's knowledge and ability. Such a tripartite relationship may cause the risk of information asymmetry. In addition, there is another situation that will also bring information risks. "Crowdsourcing" emphasizes open innovation and has certain transparency. Once the key information of the enterprise is mastered by competitors, it will give them an opportunity.
