Supporting and facilitating the Enterprise Collaboration (EC) & Enterprise Interoperabi... - 0 views

  •  
    The article reviews the challenges and prerequisites of taking Enterprise Interoperability and Collaboration Solutions are used in supply chains, collaborative networks and business ecosystems. The article is more focus on the observations and developments of COIN project. Such as service usability, organization maturity and participatory take-up process are considered as requirements for end user success with take-up. The paper also discusses the challenges of inter-organizational implementation and the software lifecycle from the viewpoint of the end user. The development is based on increasing solution usability and developing guidelines for the implementation process. (Karvonen & Conte, n.d). A lot of this paper seems to be common sense, which is applying an IT based solution to an enterprise to optimize aspects of it. I think it is always useful to define some kinds of structured process when evaluating a solution to a problem and identifying risks and planning contingencies on how to deal with those risks. This paper appears to be just such an example of it. I would be very interested to see a practical example of the technique described by paper to see if it is practical to implement. The problem with many researchers is that unless they have practical work experience, they might find what they understand in theory does not always applied in the real world.

Social Production, Information and Organisation Forms: Rethinking Collaboration - 0 views

  •  
    This article brings some ideas about internet and social networks services. When I heard the word Social Production I immediately think of ownership. The fact is, for a truly collaborative effort to be made, ownership must be discarded, which is a very difficult concept for emotive based humans. There are also the other factors such as wealth that are the driving force behind online social networks. At the end of the day, it's not idealism that drives these infrastructures, but it may appear so in many cases that is a majority of them are driven for financial means. People don't seem to realize but websites like YouTube or Facebook were not created for the purpose of purely sharing information, providing a platform for people to gather and solve issues, in fact, they were created as a means of making money. A very smart way of making money, that is shaping the online world. For example, Facebook has very strong metrics that measure behavior and activities. Users willing to hand over their details maybe not fully realizing that their information is a commodity that will be sold to companies so their advertising department can target them. What I find amazing is the fact that many people are not willing to divulge information about themselves to a telemarketer on the phone or a strange on the street, but they are fully willing to divulge the name, interests and share photos with the world online. The Social Networking age of the internet is breaking down people's privacy and truly exposing a world in which everyone can know everybody. Reference: Kallinikos, J.

    The article elaborates how Internet operates and applies successfully step by step in contemporary art educational field. The article explicitly explained how the Australian Art schools and teachers teach and guide their art students to use online information and different of websites to learn and share their discussions and opinions. Internet education has playing an important role in schools and universities since Internet widely entered to our society and life. In order to achieving their study goal, lots of adult students choose online education in contemporary technological society. In this article, Art online education is a successful example in domain of internet education. As Harris (1999) described a telecollaborative activity as an educational endeavor that is involving people from different areas to work together by using internet tools and resources.The biggest challenge for current art education is how to help students to live this digital communication age. When internet and new technologies provide us with unique opportunities in the life, the thing need to be worried about is how to study and utilize these communication technologies. However, to students, utilizing internet technology to think, to imagine, to create is the significant aspect for catching up this networking era.(Roland, 2003). To young generation, it is not a big issue to learn how to read and gather information from internet, and it is not a problem either to know how to communicate with others by online chatting tools. I think only internet knowledge they need to catch up for their online education is how to use special software to finish their online projects. The topics about internet collaboration and internet education will continue permeating into our society in this technological and digital era. This is an inevitable trend of technological progress and development. Reference: Harris, J. (1999). First steps in telecollaboration. Learning and le

The Role of Collaboration in Organizations - 1 views

    As we know that collaboration is one process of participation in a group project or between organizations. This article elaborates the factors of effective influences in developing collaboration process of organizations in order to achieving the desired results for organizations, such as the skills of leadership, communication, sustainability, participation etc. (Hogue, st al, 1995), and internal communication, external communication, membership, and goal setting. (Borden ,1997). The article also explored that the importance of networking collaboration in areas of organizations cooperation and collaborative relationship. I agree with that the building and developing the trust is the vital skill for leaders to nurture the collaborative relationship between organizations. Trust is the basic element for all kinds of collaborative projects. The purpose of the collaboration is what the leaders and stuff in the group seek to create, so ensuring a clear and understood goal for collaborative groups and organizations is also an important issue. In order to establishing a successful collaboration within organizations, trust, freedom with bring different perspectives to bear to solve problems and provide with positive change, and considering of culture and work environment and so on are supportive points to manage the organizations as a successful whole. So, for collaboration to be successful between organizations there must be clarity, direction and communication. Reference The Role of Collaboration in Organizations.(2010).
