Credit in collective action
The participants in the collective action often feel the need for recognition. Sometimes this need of recognition only becomes a motive to work in collective. Sometimes people also work in order to get some visibility among the people or to become known or seeking attention. However there are a few people who work behind the curtain and are not so visible. They do not do it for recognition. The question is that how to distribute the credits and also how to avoid people who take false credits?

It is almost impossible to distribute equal credits.
Take for example a formula 1 race... hundreds of engineers, pit crew, radio crew, etc. are responsible for a car moving swiftly. But, at end of the day, it is the driver who is been credited after the win, and not the hundreds of crew men who made it possible!
Or, have you ever seen coach of a cricket team given due credits after a match win?
