Review and functional classification of collaborative systems

A communications framework for extended enterprise performance measurement

“…The Internet is probably the largest intellectual resource in the world (Addyman 1994), and its use has been noticeable in online commerce (Serve et al 2002), e-learning (Graf 2002), e-collaboration (Bafoutsou and Mentzas 2002) and supply chain strategy formulation (Cagliano et al 2003). Intranets are private-computing networks, internal to an organisation, allowing access only to authorised users (Pakstas 1999).…”

Caramba—A Process-Aware Collaboration System Supporting Ad hoc and Collaborative Processes in Virtual Teams

“…Academic research has suggested many different classification models. For a recent extensive survey of collaborative application taxonomies see Bafoutsou and Mentzas [3]. DeSanctis and Gallupe [12], Ellis et al [17] and Johansen [24] suggest a two dimensional matrix based on time and place, where they differentiate between systems' usage at same place/same time (e.g.…”

“…A detailed evaluation of current collaboration systems (academic and commercial) is out of the scope of this paper and the reader is referred to the literature [e.g. 3,11]. From a functional perspective we suggest that a process-aware work collaboration system for virtual teams needs to (a) provide organizational constructs (e.g.…”

Web 2.0 Tools in the Innovation Process A Systematic Literature Review

“…IT Tools enabling interaction and collaboration are especially important in this context. These tools are critical to support crossboundary, cross-time and cost-effective collaboration [9] [10], and collaboration, in its turn, is 'the meta-capability that enables exploiting knowledge to drive innovation' [11]. Indeed, the influence of ITs on collaboration in the innovation process is evident in the "fifth-generation innovation" model (See [12] [13] [8]), as well as in the new paradigm of "open innovation" (cf.…”
