Research and Markets: Collaboration 2.0: Technology and Best Practices for Successful Collaboration in a Web 2.0 World
Dublin, Nov 03, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5daaed/collaboration_2_0) has announced the addition of the "Collaboration 2.0: Technology and Best Practices for Successful Collaboration in a Web 2.0 World" report to their offering.
This book examines collaboration from a holistic point of view, which we think is necessary and a best practice for being successful with collaboration technologies in today's Web 2.0 world. We look first at technology, since that is the most tangible aspect of collaboration (which is a behaviour). Most of the examples and case studies in the book are taken from our experiences with enterprises, often global and very geographically distributed organizations. The goal of the book is to help people in these large organizations which processes might provide the greatest "collaborative leverage" what technologies to apply to get the greatest benefit, and which interpersonal communication tools are needed to support "sustainable collaboration."
This book is a first collaboration between Stewart and David, with David writing the first 8 chapters on collaboration technology and process, and Stewart doing Part 2 of the book, chapters 9- 15 on process and people. In this way we cover all three factors we believe are critical for successful collaboration: people, process and technology. To give you a rough guide to the book, we have summarized each of the chapters in a paragraph to give you an idea of what is covered and also to help you understand the flow of the book.
