Examples of Collaboration in the following topics:
-
- Google Docs are a particularly popular and easy to use set of collaborative softwares.
- Collaborative software was originally designated as groupware and this term can be traced as far back as the late 1980s, when Richman and Slovak said, "Like an electronic sinew that binds teams together, the new groupware aims to place the computer squarely in the middle of communications among managers, technicians, and anyone else who interacts in groups, revolutionizing the way they work. "
- Collaborative software has produced major gains in productivity.
- Agile software development is a group of software development methods based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.
- Through this work we have come to value: individuals and interactions over processes and tools; working software over comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration over contract negotiation; responding to change over following a plan.
-
- Apart from frames and nudges, group collaboration (i.e. the input of employees as well as different departments, customers, suppliers, and so on) appears to be another key component to achieving success when sustainability-based changes are introduced into a business.
- ', The New York Times) These outcomes suggest that collaboration can be used to set long-term sustainable goals before individual biases and misinformation have the chance to set in – which is important because, as the next section reveals, setting clear, understandable goals and objectives that everyone can agree on is a cornerstone of the sustainability process.
-
- While organizations gain advantage by collaborating with intermediaries, there are costs involved to consider.
- Distribution of goods is often enabled through collaboration with partners and intermediaries.
- While this is generally a mutually advantageous situation, where margins are captured by all parties, it is still worth briefly exploring how a given business is impacted by the cost of collaboration.
- There are various other intermediaries (legal, customer support, etc.), but this provides a general framework for common areas of collaboration when bringing a product or service from the business to the consumer.
-
- Partnership agreements govern the relationship between the various individuals who are collaborating on a given venture.
- As a result of this, partners entering an agreement will want to consider creating a partnership agreement, which governs the nature of their relationship relative to the venture they are collaborating on.
- Annual Account - This obligates each partner to collaboratively settle organizational accounts and debts each year.
- When entering a collaboration, it is important to consider what could go wrong before it goes wrong, and plan for how to handle that contractually.
-
- He calls the World Wide Web a "Global network for collaboration" and gives many examples of how many forms of knowledge work can now be done anywhere in the world, that individuals from different countries can collaborate on projects without having to travel to distant cities to meet each other face-toface, and that projects can be worked on by contributors from anywhere in the world.
- Colleagues can collaborate on projects without having to travel great distances.
- The best examples of a large number of individuals collaborating on a common project is the so-called "open" movements: Open source programs like Linux and others we discuss later in this chapter, Open access to research journals, and the Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative which provide free educational resources over the Internet developed by volunteers from all over the world, of which the textbook you are reading from the Global Text Project is a prime example.
-
- Such is what all too often happens with internal and external customers when managers or teams choose to think by themselves and then broadcast edicts rather than work collaboratively with every stakeholder.
-
- An important issue relating to the development of a collaborative supply chain is following specified ordering and replenishment policies.
- An example of Collaborative Supply Chain Planning (CSCP) is Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).
- Similar to SCM and VMI, Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR) was developed to allow better communication of control information, which enables coordination and optimization of shared business processes.
- Warner-Lambert applied CPFR to the Listerine mouthwash products by sharing of forecasts and responding to inconsistencies between the collaboration partners' forecasts.
- Planning consists of identifying an opportunity for collaboration, then developing an agreement to collaborate, as well as forming a collaborative business plan.
-
- Modern internet based presentation software, such as the presentation application in Google Docs and SlideRocket also allow presentations to be developed collaboratively by geographically separate collaborators.
-
- One of the key requirements of successful sustainable supply chains is collaboration.
- The practice of collaboration, such as sharing distribution to reduce waste by ensuring that half-empty vehicles do not get sent out and that deliveries to the same address are on the same truck, is not widespread because many companies fear a loss of commercial control by working with others.
-
- This creates the economic advantage of specialization, and enables multiple strategic partners to collaborate on the design, production, and distribution of countless goods and services.
- While there are other advantages of intermediaries depending on the situation, this chart captures the broader reasoning behind the strategy of collaborating externally to fulfill certain operational requirements.
