Addressing Behavior in Collaborative Networks

Abstract

Abstract. Many factors such as weak partner commitment, lack of proper partners' alignment on interest and values, individualism, lack of flexibility, and loss of autonomy may cause partnership's failures in collaborative networks. Most of these serious causes for conflicts in collaborative networks are rooted in partner's behavior, therefore analyzing and modeling the behavioral aspects of collaborative networks are important to enforce their success. This paper first addresses two kinds of behavior related to collaborative networks including Individual Collaborative Behavior and Network Collective Behavior, and then introduces an approach to measure the comparative individual collaborative behavior of partners in networks.

Recent Models for Collaborative E-Government Processes: A Survey

“…Some studies restrict e-government to Internet-enabled applications, with business processes do not use technology or focus on interactions between government and external groups; e.g. [38] describes a semantic platform for e-government; [39] presents a system for egovernment, and [40] proposes a collaborative network. They are classified as models in this study.…”

“…Some studies were only limited to collaborative networks (e.g. [40]) or presented descriptive studies of administrative situations that were presented as models (e.g. [39], [63]), so they were classified in this category.…”
