    CROWDSOURCING - A PARADIGM SHIFT IN INNOVATION
    (GIM Journal of Management, 2012-07) Rajarajeswari M
    The practice of tapping a crowd has long been used by business. For example, in 1916, Planters Peanuts held an open contest to develop its logo. What’s new about crowdsourcing today is how it uses web 2.0 technology to rapidly and affordably reach a global crowd, engage their interest, manage and filter their ideas and feedback, and help choose the optimal scenarios to act upon. The most advanced crowdsourcing technology uses sophisticated algorithms based on deep knowledge of human behavior, and equips companies, organizations and governments with the ability to distill crowd input down to not just “what’s most popular” but what are really the most economically-viable and probable ideas to succeed. It’s not unusual for the contribution of a crowd to be worth millions to a company. This article, defines crowdsourcing and its effect to business. It also proposes to study trends in crowdsourcing, massive volunteer projects, crowd control mechanisms, new user study methodologies, and interactive systems powered by crowds.

    IDENTITY THEFTS AND ONLINE FRAUDS IN INTERNET
    (Nehru Journal of Management and Research, 2016-11) Rajarajeswari M
    The importance of identity can raise a series of scholarly discussions across disciplines. Decades ago, Erikson (1980) pointed out that the formation of identity is essential to individuals‘ development, especially during the period of adolescence. The term identity refers to the unique and stable characteristics associated with an individual, and the aspect of self is based upon the interior state of awareness. However, it is argued that the culture shaped by the modern information media alleviates the term from consciousness and associates with the body (Poster, 2006). The view introduced in the following sections probably evidences the shift. Admittedly, this perspective of identifying individuals may discard the psychological portion of identity but reflects an emerged culture in the digital era.
