Mass Collaboration Theory

Mass Collaboration Theory suggests that large-scale projects and innovations can emerge when many people, often from diverse backgrounds, work together voluntarily. Instead of relying solely on experts or centralized institutions, it leverages the collective knowledge, skills, and efforts of a broad community—like open-source software development or citizen science initiatives. This approach harnesses distributed collaboration, often enabled by digital tools, creating complex, high-quality outcomes that might be difficult for individuals or small groups to achieve alone. It highlights the power of collective intelligence in shaping social, technological, and creative advancements.
