Dynamique de collaboration au sein des équipes dispersées : Le cas des projets d'ingénierie
Daoudi, Jaouad (2010) Dynamique de collaboration au sein des équipes dispersées : Le cas des projets d'ingénierie. Thèse de doctorat, École Polytechnique de Montréal.PDF3295KbRésuméLa globalisation des marchés, la cherté des compétences, et le développement sans
précédent des technologies de l’information et des communications (TIC) encouragent
les entreprises à réviser leurs pratiques. Désormais, les entreprises se procurent des
ressources bien au-delà de leurs frontières organisationnelles et nationales, et leurs
équipes deviennent de plus en plus étendues. Pour la réalisation des projets d’ingénierie,
la constitution des équipes dispersées dont les membres collaborent sur une base
régulière est devenue un mode de fonctionnement de plus en plus répandu. Cependant,
cette pratique amène un contexte nouveau qui se caractérise par la diversité culturelle, la
variété des pratiques, la différence des TIC utilisées, la rivalité, etc. Il s’agit là d’une
dynamique complexe qui nécessite davantage d’exploration.
L’objectif général du présent projet de recherche est de développer une meilleure
compréhension de la collaboration en contexte de dispersion des équipes de projets.
Pour y répondre, une exploration de la littérature qui porte sur la collaboration et la
dynamique des équipes dispersées est effectuée. Cette investigation a permis de
développer un modèle caractéristique du phénomène étudié. Ce modèle qui exprime, en
effet, les facteurs déterminants de la collaboration, le contexte auquel cette collaboration
fait face, et l’impact que celle-ci exerce sur la performance des équipes de projets.----------Market globalization, the scarcity of skills, and the explosive development of
information and communications technologies (ICT) compel companies to scrutinize
their practices. Henceforth, companies will seek resources beyond their organizational
and national boundaries, and project teams will become increasingly distributed. To
carry out engineering projects, today’s enterprises require distributed teams whose
members work together regularly and intensely. However, this practice has raised new
challenges: cultural diversity, differing practices, incompatible ICT, rivalries, and more.
This complex dynamic needs to be understood and effectively managed.
The overall objective of this research project is to develop a better understanding of how
collaboration works in distributed project teams. First, the literature on collaboration
and the dynamics of distributed teams is reviewed. A model including the different
determinants of collaboration, the characteristics of collaborative environments, and the
impact of collaboration on project team performance is then presented.
To verify the validity of the model, an empirical survey was administered to
professionals involved with distributed engineering projects. Based on data gathered
from 253 project teams, various research hypotheses are confirmed. The results support
the central role of collaboration in successful distributed projects. Superior collaborative
functioning depends on several factors: organizational support, ICT, project manager
leadership, and the flexibility and commitment of team members. Moreover, the
collaborative dynamic is found to be influenced by various contextual factors, including
member distributedness, and within-team trust and rivalry.
Our results provide both a practical and theoretical contribution through a better
understanding of collaboration in distributed project teams to enable optimal
management.Type de document:Mémoire ou thèse (Thèse de doctorat)Département:Département de mathématiques et génie industrielCode ID:342Déposé par:Marie-carline LajeunesseDéposé le:04 oct. 2010 14:58Dernière modification:04 oct. 2010 14:58
Nader Ale Ebrahim on 27 Apr 12"Review Article Toward a Theoretical Concept of E-Collaboration through Project Management in SMEs for Reducing Time and Cost in New Product: A Review M. Mohammadjafari, S.Z.M. Dawal, S. Ahmed and H. Zayandehroodi ABSTRACT Reducing time and efficient project execution is an objective in many industries and project management is one of the important keys for lead the company to this allegation. The project manager needs some tools for lead the firm to the success. Collaboration is one way to success and collaboration has many types, one kind is electronic collaboration. On the other hand, small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) are a part of manufacturing industries. Combining a literature review with our empirical experience we found that relationship between the project manager and related departments for production is essential for reducing time and cost in new product development. In this study, we describe about some definition of project management, E-collaboration, SMEs and new product and review some articles around this area.

SMEs are a part of manufacturing industries, but they have some limitation for attending and also for remaining in the market, especially in the global market (Mohammadjafari et al., 2010a). SMEs cannot compete with big companies, unless, they attend to customer needs.
