TITLE: The sustainable banking industry - factors associated with sustainable innovation. FINAL SEMINAR: 2021-05-26COURSE: Master thesis in Business & Management - Organization at Uppsala University. AUTHORS: Kristofer Edin & Robin Nikolausson. ADVISOR: Josef Pallas.KEYWORDS: Sustainable innovation, Internal factors, External factors, Regulations, Technology, Market demand, Organizational culture, Market opportunities, Internal collaborations, Managerial dedication, Knowledge management.PURPOSE: This thesis aims to study factors associated with the development of sustainable innovation in the banking industry. Moreover, the ambition is to bring relevant findings and support for previous findings related to the information gap about how factors are associated with sustainable innovation and how they correspond to each other.METHOD: This research is using a case study methodology where one specific case company is being scrutinized. The study has used an exploratory study approach consisting of qualitative data gathering. Moreover, it is based on an inductive approach. The data consist of both primary data in terms of interviews with employees from the case company and of secondary data from various internet sources.LITERATURE REVIEW: Sustainable innovation, Technology, Regulations, Market demand, Organizational culture, Market opportunities, Internal collaboration, Managerial dedication, Knowledge management.EMPIRICAL FINDINGS: This thesis uncovers that there are both internal and external factors associated with sustainable innovation in the banking industry. The empirical findings thus correspond to the theory as it illustrates that the different factors are associated with sustainable innovation in the case company. However, the correctness of the theoretical suggestions varies in terms of the level of importance concerning the different factors. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION:The analysis illustrates that even as the eight factors are associated with sustainable innovation, it is difficult to decide their relative importance as they are not mutually exclusive, but dependent on each other. However, there are some empirical indications that some factors, such as market demand and organizational culture, are more dominant in the relationships among the different factors.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.Many multi-business unit organisations are not adequately prepared to deal with and capitalise on the opportunities that exist because they have a multi-faceted company structure. Increasingly, organisations are combining their efforts to exploit business opportunities and collaboration is becoming a key strategic tool. Collaboration provides ways to tap into competencies and organisational knowledge that might otherwise be trapped in business units. It is essential that these pockets, or silos, of excellence be harnessed to promote value-creating activities. The focus of this case study is on GEA Group Companies operating within the ambit of Sub-Saharan Africa. These companies exhibit a classical multi-business unit organisation with many opportunities for intra- as well as intercompany collaboration. Informal channels for collaboration may exist, but if GEA is able to collaborate more effectively internally, growth and value creation opportunists will be easier to exploit. This study has investigated the state of the current business models of the various GEA Group companies as well as the current collaboration efforts that are in place. The study has also explored the key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the various business models as well the key factors influencing collaboration efforts within GEA. Based on the results of interviews and surveys that evaluated the business models and intercompany collaboration efforts, recommendations for improvements are made and an intercompany collaboration model proposed for GEA companies in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Full textAbstract:
The change in the present global world puts pressure on companies to develop new strategies for gaining competitive advantage. The new fast technology leads companies to try to outshine one another to reach further into the world of innovation. Sharing knowledge online demands brave and huge changes from managers and employees. The use of new tools for faster more open communication requires a change of mindset from the involved parties. Our aim was to determine if the internal open communication was the solution to a more open knowledge sharing work climate. The Purpose of our study is to investigate if knowledge sharing indirectly foster a more learning and innovative organization. Which leads us to one of our main questions: can a wikis- tool for internal communication be an enabler for a more open and knowledge sharing working climate? In this thesis we are focusing on the new communication tool for a better internal collaboration which has the ability to facilitate the work for employees if it is implemented in a positive manner. All our research was performed in Ramböll a global company that gave us useful access and information for our thesis. We performed our study by using qualitative research such as interviews, dialogue and observations. The result from our study showed us how the open communication and knowledge sharing can strengthen the core communication to foster a more learning and innovative company. Open communication as enabler of the power of innovation in global companies.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis près d'une décennie, les outils issus du Web 2.0 s'insèrent dans la sphère de l'entreprise et sont présentés comme participant d'un changement technologique et managérial majeur. Pour autant, on constate des lacunes théoriques dans la caractérisation des régimes collaboratifs proposés par ces nouveaux objets, réunis sous la bannière du Social Software. Nous proposons ici d'explorer les dimensions à travers lesquelles les objets de Social Software proposent un renouvellement des régimes collaboratifs. Ce projet nous amène d'abord à présenter les évolutions techniques et paradigmatiques entre Groupware et Social Software. Dans un deuxième temps, nous réalisons une exploration empirique du champ via l'analyse des discours commerciaux d'éditeurs de Social Software et la présentation de quatre dispositifs que nous qualifions au regard des taxonomies issues des champs du Computer Supported Cooperative Work et de l'Entreprise 2.0. Nous enrichissons cette analyse par la modélisation des trajectoires d'évolution des quatre dispositifs faisant l'objet de nos études de cas, au travers d'un cadre conceptuel centré sur l'objet technique. Enfin, nous proposons un cadre inédit pour la caractérisation des régimes de collaboration proposés par les dispositifs de Social Software. Cette recherche nous amène à rediscuter des liens entre les technologies et les modalités de pilotage de l'action collective dans les organisationsFor the last decade, Web 2.0 tools have entered the corporate sphere and are considered as part of a major technical and managerial shift. However, there is still a lack of theoretical framework to define the collaborative regimes that the new objects of Social Software carry. In this dissertation, we explore the dimensions through which Social Software objects offer a renewal of collaborative regimes. First, we highlight the technical and paradigmatic evolutions between Groupware and Social Software. Then we carry an empirical exploration of the field of Social Software, by analyzing publishers' commercial discourse and presenting four devices that we describe through the taxonomical frameworks of Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Enterprise 2.0. This analysis is supplemented by the modelization of the four devices' evolution paths, relying on a conceptual framework that focuses on the technical object. Finally, we suggest a novel framework to define the collaboration regimes proposed by Social Software devices. This research leads us to further discuss the links between technology and the management of collaboration

Full textAbstract:
Teacher collaboration is one of the strategies for encouraging teaches to work together to achieve their common ends. In a complex modern world, teachers rarely have time to collaborate with each other. E-mail and Internet technology encourages teacher collaboration to emerge with personal interaction. E-mail is rapid, permitting responses within the same day or even a few hours. On the network, teachers can seek advice from teachers on other campuses and around the world, and at the same time, they can build their relationship with other users. In Western Australia, an e-mail network for science curriculum leaders was established in both primary and secondary schools. In 1998, a study showed that 93 heads of science departments in government high schools were connected to this e-mail network, and more than two-thirds of them had their computers connected to the World Wide Web.
This study aims to: firstly, test Fishboughs models of collaboration among high school science teachers in an electronic environment (e-mail and Internet); and secondly, presents a detailed science web site analysis in terms of the potential of these websites to foster collaboration. The investigation is divided into two distinct studies: Study One is a survey of the teachers perceptions of collaboration via the Internet and Study Two is a detailed science website analysis.
Study One employed both mail questionnaire and face-to-face interview techniques as methods of data collection. The Science Teacher Collaboration via E-mail and Internet Questionnaire was developed and used to collect data on models of collaboration and interaction perspective of collaborative relationships via the Internet of science teachers at the selected schools. The information from quantitative analysis was used to compose the interview schedule. The follow-up interview was conducted with science teachers who agreed to be interviewed at the sample schools.
Study Two adopted a content analysis technique for analysis of data collected from the two kinds of science websites, specific science websites for science teachers and science websites for general audiences from five chosen continents, Australia, Asia, Europe, America and Africa.
The study found that the Consulting model of collaboration is frequently used by science teachers and science web sites from five chosen continents.

Full textAbstract:
The passive reliance on ideas to spontaneously emerge within companies is today replaced with more active and continuous ideation management that embraces employees from different functions and knowledge-domains within the company to create and develop ideas. A frequently observed feature in the active management of ideation is the reliance on collaboration and competition mechanisms. These mechanisms use the strength of enabling people to working together towards a shared interest (collaboration) and the power of enabling people to outperform each other in submitting the best idea (competition). The existing research on collaboration and competition in ideation is found inconclusive about their effects as collaboration is stated to both enhance and hamper performance, and as competition is claimed to both drive and reduce performance in ideation. This constitutes a limitation to the management of ideation as it reduces the ability to actively and purposefully guide ideation through a deliberate use of the two mechanisms. The aim of this thesis is to investigate collaboration and competition mechanisms in firm-internal ideation. A multi-methodological approach has been deployed using three different studies: a multiple case study, a survey, and an experiment. This has allowed for the phenomenon of ideation to be studied using different perspectives and for the individual results to be triangulated. The empirical data has been acquired from both industry and experiments with university students. The conducted research has revealed that the inconsistencies on the effects from the two mechanisms are possible to understand and resolve by applying a more detailed level of analysis. When competition is decomposed into components of individual- and group competition, it is found that individual competition drives idea quantity and that it hampers collaboration, whereas group competition instead is found to induce collaboration and to nurture idea quality. This indicates that competition can be used to manage levels of collaboration in ideation, thereby bridging the two mechanisms. This thesis further presents that the individual effects from each of the mechanisms are complementary to each other. This implies that the effect from each mechanism is retained when combined with the other mechanisms, and that the combined effect is equal to, or even greater than, the sum of the individual effects. This combined use is found to drive both ideation efficiency and motivation, and is offering management an interesting third alternative, out of the two mechanisms, of how firm-internal ideation can be managed in a more effective and efficient manner. An analytical framework is included, presenting the interrelationships between the mechanisms, motivation, ideation behavior and the ideation performance.QC 20150831

Briggs, Marion Christine Elizabeth. "Complexity and the practices of communities in healthcare : implications for an internal practice consultant." Thesis, University of Hertfordshire, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2299/8969.
Full textAbstract:
Current literature regarding quality health services frequently identifies interprofessional collaboration (IPC) as essential to patient-centred care, sustainable health systems, and a productive workforce. The IPC literature tends to focus on interprofessionalism and collaboration and pays little attention to the concept of practice, which is thought to be a represented world of objects and processes that have pre-given characteristics practitioners can know cognitively and apply or manage correctly. Many strategies intended to support IPC simplify and codify the complex, contested, and unpredictable day-to-day interactions among interdependent agents that I argue constitute the practices of a community. These strategies are based in systems thinking, which understand the system as distinct from experience and subject to rational, linear logic. In this thinking, a leader can step outside of the system to develop an ideal plan, which is then implemented to unfold the predetermined ideal future. However, changes in health services and healthcare practices are often difficult to enact and sustain.This thesis problematises the concept of ‘practice’, and claims practices as thoroughly social and emergent phenomenon constituted by interdependent and iterative processes of representation (policies and practice guidelines), signification (sense making through negotiation and reflective and reflexive practices), and improvisation (acting into the circumstances that present at the point and in the moments of care). I argue that local and population-wide patterns are negotiated and iteratively co-expressed through relations of power, values, and identity. Moreover, practice (including the practice of leadership or consulting) is inherently concerned with ethics, which I also formulate as both normative and social/relational in nature. I argue that theory and practice are not separate but paradoxical phenomena that remain in generative tension, which in healthcare is often felt as tension between what we should do (best practice) and what we actually do (best possible practice in the contingent circumstances we find ourselves in). I articulate the implications this has for how knowledge and knowing are understood, how organisations change, and how the role of an internal practice consultant is understood. An important implication is that practice-based evidence and evidence-based practice are iterative and coexpressed(not sequential), and while practice is primordial, it is not privileged over theory.I propose that a practice consultant could usefully become a temporary participant in the practices of a particular community. Through a position of ‘involved detachment’, a consultant can more easily notice and articulate the practices of a community that for participants are most often implicit and taken for granted. Reflective and reflexive consideration of what is taken for granted may change conversations and thus be transformative.

Björkman, Conny. "Internal capacities for school improvement : Principals' views in Swedish secondary schools." Doctoral thesis, Umeå universitet, Pedagogik, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-1921.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis was to describe and analyse principals´ views of collaboration forms, staff development and leadership, as critical internal capacities for school improvement, in five more successful and four less successful Swedish secondary schools, and compare the qualitative similarities and/or differences in the principals´ views at the level of schools. A successful school is understood to be a school where pupils accomplish both the academic objectives and the social/civic objectives in the National Curriculum. The empirical materials used were collected through semi-structured interviews with the principals and deputy principals, and through general school observations in the nine schools. The perspective of principals´ views was used as the unit for analysis, in order to reflect the principals´ way of thinking about the internal capacities, as principals´ views were expected to be an important indication of how principals act and interact with teachers in their specific context. To create such a model for analysis meant creating views, generated from empirical text, that deepened the understanding of the meaning of collaboration forms, staff development, and leadership, as critical internal capacities for school improvement. These views were then interpreted with the help of two theoretical concepts; structure and culture. The creation of the model made it possible to analyse and describe the school observations and the principals´ views of the three critical internal capacities, in the same usage. The question of what is decided helped to describe and understand the structure in a school, which in educational sociology is understood as the division of labour. The question of how the decisions are realised helped to describe and understand the culture in a school, the distribution of work. By using the theoretical concepts of structure and culture it was possible to unfold the power relations and the modes of control in the schools, regarding the three internal capacities for school improvement. One part of the result was the constructed view types for collaboration forms, staff development and leadership. It was possible to construct three qualitatively different view types: A principal distributed and team-based/involving view type, a principal distributed and teacher-based/traditional view type, and a politically distributed and principal-based view type. The last view type only appears in relation to staff development. When connecting the principals´ views of the three internal capacities in the different schools to the different view types, the results show that the ´team-based` view type dominates in all of the more successful schools, as well as in one of the less successful schools. In two of the less successful schools the ´team-based´ view type has become a vision for the principals to strive for in relation to the experienced reality of the ´teacher-based´ view type. The remaining less successful school is dominated by the ´teacher-based´ view type. Principals´ views of external collaboration forms, the connections with the world outside the school-house, are interesting, as all schools no matter the level of success, are ´teacher-based´.

Full textAbstract:
“Mashups” are web-based maps that intermix user-created data with information gathered
from multiple online sources. As part of the wave of “Web 2.0” technologies, mashups represent a shift toward distributed authoring and sharing of Internet content, complicating traditional modes of knowledge production. Mashups originated in the open source “hacker” movement and are now associated with the term “neogeography,” used to describe the practice of amateur mapmaking online.
In this thesis I ask whether mashups facilitate a cartography that is more accessible and democratic, studying the ways in which mashup authors create alternative community or personal cartographies while remaining dependent on existing power structures for data and resources. I illuminate these issues through a series of examples, such as: mashups that render personal memories about places, maps created by activist groups to counter dominant representations of geography by governments or corporations, and websites that facilitate the collaborative creation and sharing of spatial knowledge within community groups.
Contrasting these case studies with traditional paper cartography and GIS, as well as the professional online mapping technologies of the Geospatial Web (or GeoWeb), I explore how mashups attempt to represent personal, subjective, overlapping and contradictory perceptions of space and place. While enthusiastic claims about the ability of mashups to wrest mapmaking from state and corporate hands are currently overstated, I conclude that mashups do in fact provide new ways of collaboratively representing space whose implications are still to be determined.

Full textAbstract:
The developing knowledge economy affects organizations within the innovation system where higher education institutions (HEI) are regarded as a significant part. There is a large amount of research that focus on different aspects of collaboration such as the outcome, the process and its infrastructure. To emphasize HEIs role in the national and regional innovation systems concepts such as Mode 2 and Triple helix, and the Knowledge triangle, have developed. These concepts have also heavily influenced Swedish innovation policy. This thesis is set to analyze collaboration work between Swedish HEIs and the public and private sectors, and to understand how collaboration: i) occurs in practice in research and undergraduate education; ii) is influenced by policy efforts, and; iii) influence HEI’s internal and external social capital building. Firstly, research and teaching links is analyzed to highlight the integration of collaboration, research and education within specific research profiles. This is because previous research has neglected collaboration and its effect on undergraduate education. Secondly, social capital theory is used as a framework for the analysis. Social capital theory is used to obtain a thorough understanding of individual researchers’ attitude to collaboration and participation in collaboration activities. The results indicate that short term projects had long-term effects since it established new education programs and projects. Collaboration also effects undergraduate education through research profiles with their integration of research and education in groups within as well as outside the HEI. The results also show that social capital building through top steered initiatives is complex. In the HEIs there was no relation between researchers expressing a positive attitude towards different forms of collaboration and a high participation level in collaboration activities. This suggests that building of external social capital within HEIs is not related to the nature of the internal social capital. There was interfaculty differences in both the researchers’ attitude to collaboration activities and participation in collaboration activities. As expected, professors had more opportunities and ability for collaboration. They also indicated a resistance to use a central infrastructure for collaboration to build external social capital. The opposite was demonstrated for professors from the humanities who had little experience of collaboration. They still did not to use the infrastructure to a large extent. Suggestively policy makers should encourage a more efficient external social capital building through earmarked funding for collaboration on a department level rather than on the HEIs’ central level.

The purpose of this research is to find evidence on how temporary projects change in connection to both internal organizational changes, in terms of change in management, as well as the external force of change of COVID-19. In addition, the thesis will also go into depth on how these changes have affected collaboration and work-satisfaction. The research is a case study of qualitative nature and ten semi-structured interviews, with five project leaders and five employees in a collaborative project, were conducted to enable interactions between theories and empirical findings. It was decided to obtain a case project in order to investigate how the external force of COVID-19 and the internal force of change in head management has affected the project's work settings, collaboration and the well-being/work satisfaction of the employees. Along with the interviews, the theoretical structure made it possible to perform a thematic analysis. The changes connected to the working processes and the structure given the forces of internal and external change have altered the way the employees perform and operate in the project. It is concluded that collaboration is of utmost importance and that building trust and relationships have clearly become harder in a virtual work setting, it has affected how the project participants work together towards common objectives. These major changes have also affected the work satisfaction of the project members to different extents.

Full textAbstract:
Digitalization has led to a higher speed of product development and increased competition on the market. This has impacted how firms organize and manage innovation activities, where firms need to have certain abilities to quickly respond to the external environment in order to stay competitive in dynamic markets. As obtaining innovation capabilities internally require large amount of R&D expenditures, there are several strategies a firm can pursue in order to innovate more efficiently; such as pursuing an Open Innovation landscape, and investing in strategic alliances. However, as these strategies come with additional challenges and costs, focus has instead been turned to the internal environment, and collaborating more effectively internally for innovation purposes has received new light in recent research. Therefore, this study aimed at exploring the underlying structures and mechanisms of intra-organizational collaboration for innovation. Previous research on internal collaboration for innovation have investigated the formal and informal structures for knowledge sharing and joint problem solving. In this stream of research, there has been both consistent and mixed results on the enablers of collaboration. Firstly, previous research is consistent with the importance of trust and social interactions for informal collaboration. However, there exists mixed results on the impact of centralization on collaboration. Therefore, this thesis aimed to shed a new light on this topic, and answer the research question: What are the enabling factors for formal and informal collaboration? In an attempt to answer the research question, a qualitative study consisting of 13 interviews with innovation practitioners and corporate executives in the organizational setting of an IT-service company was conducted. The interviews aimed at providing insights on how collaboration for innovation across units and individuals was carried out, and were carefully recorded, transcribed and analyzed. The findings revealed both support for previous theory as well as provided with new insights, stating that centralized decision making, managers’ self-interest and a clear mandate enables formal collaboration; while decentralized decision making, social connections, employees’ mindset and geographical proximity enables informal collaboration. Particularly important for enabling informal collaboration is the possibility for social interactions between employees, their level of organizational awareness and their mutual trust. Furthermore, the results highlighted the presence of interdependencies between the enabling factors, and provided with a new insight on the impact of centralization by clarifying when and how centralization is an enabler of collaboration, and where firms benefit from decentralized decision making instead. The results indicate that centralized decision making enables collaboration on a strategic “macro” level, and decentralized decision making enables collaboration on a “micro” level.Digitaliseringen har både lett till ökad produktutvecklingshastighet och ökad konkurrens. För att kunna anpassa sig till förändringar på marknaden och fortsätta vara konkurrenskraftiga, måste bolag besitta vissa färdigheter och förutsättningar för att innovera. Då interna innovationsaktiviteter kräver kostsamma resurser, finns det ett antal strategier för att istället bygga på sig kompetenser genom externa samarbeten, såsom öppen innovation och strategiska partnerskap. Däremot kommer dessa med egna utmaningar och kostnader, vilket på senare tid har lett till ett nytt fokus på den interna miljön, och ett nytt ljus riktats mot forskning inom internt samarbete för innovation. Denna studie ämnar därför att utforska de underliggande strukturerna och mekanismerna bakom intern kollaboration för innovation. Tidigare forskning inom ämnet har tittat på de formella och informella strukturerna för intern kunskapsdelning och gemensam problemlösning för innovation. Här har tidigare forskning varit entydig i att sociala interaktioner och tillit är viktigt för informell kollaboration, däremot har påverkan av centralisering visat motsägelsefulla resultat. Därför ämnar denna studie i att svara på forskningsfrågan: Vilka faktorer möjliggör formell och informell kollaboration? I syfte att svara på frågan har en kvalitativ studie bestående av 13 intervjuer med innovatörer och bolagschefer på en IT-tjänstfirma utförts. Intervjuerna ämnade ge insikt på hur kollaboration för innovation över avdelning-, och individnivå skedde, varvid de spelades in, transkriberades och analyserades enligt ett antal metoder. Resultaten delvis bekräftade tidigare forskning, och delvis bidrog med ett antal nya insikter, genom att peka på att centraliserad beslutsfattande, ledares egenintresse och tydliga mandat möjliggör för formell kollaboration; och decentraliserat beslutsfattande, sociala kontakter, medarbetares tankesätt och geografisk närhet möjliggör informell kollaboration. Viktigt specifikt för informell kollaboration var möjligheten för sociala interaktioner och ömsesidig tillit mellan medarbetare, samt nivån på deras kunskap om organisationen. Ytterligare upptäcktes en växelverkan mellan olika möjliggörande faktorer för formell och informell kollaboration, samt en ny insikt om när, hur, och var nivån av centralisering gör nytta för kollaboration. De empiriska resultaten pekade på att centraliserade beslut möjliggör på en strategisk, “makro”-nivå, medan decentraliserade beslut möjliggör på en lägre, “mikro”-nivå.

Full textAbstract:
YesThe use of Information and Communications Technology (ICTs) in healthcare has the potential of minimizing medical errors, reducing healthcare cost and improving collaboration between healthcare systems which can dramatically improve the healthcare service quality. However interoperability within different healthcare systems (clinics/hospitals/pharmacies) remains an issue of further research due to a lack of collaboration and exchange of healthcare information. To solve this problem, cross healthcare system collaboration is required. This paper proposes a conceptual semantic based healthcare collaboration framework based on Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure that is able to offer a secure cross system information and knowledge exchange between different healthcare systems seamlessly that is readable by both machines and humans. In the proposed framework, an intelligent semantic gateway is introduced where a web application with restful Application Programming Interface (API) is used to expose the healthcare information of each system for collaboration. A case study that exposed the patient's data between two different healthcare systems was practically demonstrated where a pharmacist can access the patient's electronic prescription from the clinic.

Full textAbstract:
This project is about the design of a collection of principles that contribute to a sustainable internal communication. It is shown via an online manual (website-based-ebook). My findings are based on my work experience at IKEA of Sweden AB, developing their internal communication tool, the sustainability Hub, and on research, transition design, sustainable dialogue, and the diverse economy (see more in chapter 5.1., page 26). The design is targeted primarily to the decision-makers of small- to mediumsized organizations that are interested in a transition towards sustainable change, and, secondarily, students and lecturers from the fields of design, natural science, and economics. The methodological framework used in the project is transition design, sustainable dialogue, and the diverse economy. Furthermore, theories about change agency, intranet, sustainability, and IKEAs position on sustainability are outlined to establish a definition of sustainability that can be applied to multiple actors of the diverse economy. The outcome is a collection of 24 principles about an internal network focussing on the transition towards sustainability. I call it Intra-Collectivity because it is about change from within a system, and networks being the actors of change. I communicate my idea via a manual, that should guide the target group to create, maintain, and use Intra-Collectivity. The manual features infographics with explanatory texts guided by consistent user interface navigation. The design is done by the research of theories and of the target audience, by application of the methodological framework, by my work experience at IKEA, and by the design craft of a website-based ebook and digital infographics. The manual is publicly available and based on minimalistic, contemporary screen design, and infographic design principles. It places the graphical explanation in the focus. The principles of Intra-Collectivity are base on the following key findings: 1. The difficulty to find a definition of sustainability for the diverse bodies of the diverse economy can be solved by the differentiation between “honest sustainability scopes“ and “dishonest sustainable development“ (or “greenwashing“). 2. It can be derived from the field of transition design and sustainable dialogue that a constant, multiperspective communication is crucial to a network promoting change. 3. Solutions to sustainability problems are not definite but adaptive and require constant reiteration. 4. Internal communication becomes more effective in terms of sustainability if unconventional perspectives are taken into consideration.

We present platooning as a special case of crowd-sensing framework. After offering a policy that governs platooning, we review common scenarios and components surrounding platooning. We present a prototype that illustrates efficiency of road usage and vehicle travel time derived from platooning. We have argued that beyond the commonly reported benefits of platooning, there are substantial savings in acquisition and processing of sensory data sharing the road. Our results show that data transmission can be reduced to low of 3% compared to normal data transmission using a platoon formation with sensor sharing.

Full textAbstract:
Social media is progressively implemented in work organizations as means of communication among employees. Thus, it is of crucial importance to develop understanding how they empower and limit communicative activities which shape the network through which organizational tasks are accomplished, as it is these very dynamics that enforce and eternalizecompanies. Given these trends, the time seems ripe to investigate how Social media is used in internal communication processes in organizations, thatis the main purpose of this study. Additionally, this study aims to explore positive and negative consequences of Social media use perceived by employees. The research was guided by the following research questions:How is Social media used for communication and collaboration of project teams?What are the perceived advantages and disadvantages of Social media use in work by projectteammembers?The research adopts a grounded theory strategy which is considered to be appropriate for investigations in the field with scarce theoretical background. The data collection was conducted in two rounds: with seven unstructured interviews in the first round and five semi-structured interviews in the second round. The sample of the research comprised employees and managers of small and medium-sized companies specialized in Social Media Marketing and Digital Journalism in Uzbekistan. In accordance with the grounded theory approach, the data analysis was conducted through a coding process, which consists of three stages: open, axial and selective coding.The research questions were answered through developing a model which visualizes the use of Social media and its possible positive/negative impacts on communication and collaboration in organizations. The model was developed basedon the dataderived from the interviews. The central part of the model is metaphorically named Social media as a circulatory system of a company, thatexplains how Social media supports vital activity of a company through maintaining smooth functioning of key organizational processes. The possible positive and negative consequences of Social media use are also represented through two core categories: digitalization of social relationships and humanization of Social media. The first concept suggests that excessive use of Social media by employees leads to development of disingenuous relationships among users and increased pressure that stems from highercontrol and surveillance by management which areafforded by social media use. The second core category suggests that Social media, in contrast, may enhance social connectivity, employee commitment, engagement and develop a feeling of a family within a company. To provide this management should use Social media as another avenue for collaboration and display company informal meetings, achievements, and corporate culture.

Full textAbstract:
Les applications collaboratives décentralisées permettent de répondre aux problèmes de confidentialité, de disponibilité et de sécurité inhérents aux plateformes collaboratives centralisées. Elles reposent sur un paradigme de communication pair-à-pair selon lequel tous les utilisateurs sont directement connectés les uns aux autres. Les collaborations ayant tendance à s'élargir et dépasser les frontières des organisations, il est nécessaire de garantir aux utilisateurs le contrôle sur leurs données tout en assurant la disponibilité de la collaboration. Pour ce faire, il est possible d'utiliser comme topologie le réseau social qui s'est tissé entre les collaborateurs. Le manque d'information sur ce maillage de confiance nous amène à développer une approche pour étudier ses propriétés morphologiques. Dans cette thèse, nous développons et mettons en œuvre une approche permettant d'étudier la structure sociale des interactions dans le cadre de collaborations inter-organisationnelles. Nous proposons une approche stochastique qui s'inspire des Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM) et des modèles spatiaux. Nous définissons un formalisme qui met en avant la structure des interactions et intègre la dimension organisationnelle. Nous proposons d'utiliser une méthode d'inférence bayésienne, ABC Shdadow, pour contourner les difficultés liées à l'estimation de ce modèle. Cette approche est mise en œuvre sur un exemple réel : les collaborations initiées par les chercheurs d'un laboratoire. Elle permet notamment de montrer la faible propension, pour un chercheur, à tisser des liens avec d'autres laboratoires. Nous montrons que cette approche peut être appliquée à d'autres types d'interactions sociales, comme les interactions entre les enfants d'une école primaire. Enfin, nous présentons une stratégie de parallélisation de l'échantillonneur de Gibbs visant à traiter des graphes de plus grande taille dans un temps raisonnableDecentralised collaborative applications address privacy, availability and security issues related to centralised collaborative platforms. Such applications are based on a peer-to-peer communication paradigm according to which all users are directly connected to one another. Collaborations tend to widen and spread beyond the borders of organisations. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to guarantee to users the control over their data, while keeping collaboration available. To that end, the social network that has built between collaborators may be used as topology. Lack of information on this trusted network leads us to develop an approach to study its morphological properties. In this thesis, we develop and implement an approach to study the social structure of interactions in the context of inter-organisational collaborations. We propose a stochastic approach based on Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM) and spatial models. We define a formalism that highlights the structure of interactions and integrates the organisational dimension. We propose to use a Bayesian inference method, ABC Shadow, to overcome the issues related to the parameters estimation. This approach is applied to a real case study: the collaborations initiated by researchers in a laboratory. In particular, it highlights the low tendency for a researcher to create collaborative links with other laboratories. We show that this approach can be applied to other kinds of social interactions, such as interactions between pupils of a primary school. Finally, we present a parallelisation strategy of the Gibbs sampler aimed at processing larger graphs in a reasonable time

Les col•laboracions democratitzades a Internet, entenent-les com les eines participatives de la xarxa, o la Web 2.0, afecten en l'actualitat a nombrosos aspectes la nostra vida. Els acadèmics destaquen el potencial de la Web 2.0 per millorar l’aprenentatge o la salut, així com el seu continu impacte en sectors com el de la tecnologia de mitjans de comunicació. També plantegen un gran nombre de qüestions importants als professionals i estudiosos. Per exemple, la consideració crítica de la Web 2.0 com una bombolla o bé com un element més del màrqueting, que necessita d'una determinació del seu abast i naturalesa. Aquest mateix punt és aplicable a l'ús de la Web 2.0 en el sector sanitari, també anomenat com Medicina 2.0 o Sanitat 2.0. Referent a això, considerant el risc que el contingut generat per altres usuaris sigui utilitzat per prendre decisions relatives a la salut, i tenint en compte l'eficàcia no provada de la Web 2.0 com a instrument de la política sanitària, els acadèmics del tema conviden a la definició de millors models que es puguin aplicar a l'ús pràctic d'aquesta eina. Aquesta tesi es centra en l'estudi d'aquestes qüestions fonamentals, en un camp que es mou a gran velocitat, per darrera de la pràctica real, i que requereix la concertació d'una investigació interdisciplinària. Per tant, aquesta tesi incorpora set obres diferents que ofereixen àmplies perspectives sobre l'ús d'eines de col•laboració en la xarxa en el camp de l'atenció sanitària, cadascuna analitzant el tema amb una profunditat suficient com per seguir sent rellevant en un camp en ràpida evolució.
Aquestes obres inclouen un examen d'(1) la Web 2.0 i (2) la Medicina 2.0, utilitzant l'anàlisi del contingut de milions de converses de la xarxa per identificar les principals qüestions pràctiques o teòriques i les tensions subjacents a cada concepte. Dos estudis addicionals analitzen (3) com i per què els metges fan servir les eines de la Web 2.0, i (4) com els metges busquen la informació en aquest context en constant moviment com és el d'Internet. Aquests dos estudis es basen en enquestes, diaris i entrevistes amb els metges que treballen en el Servei Nacional de Salut del Regne Unit. Tots dos destaquen resultats importants com ara models per a l'ús de la Medicina 2.0, o contribucions importants a la literatura com la connexió de la recerca cognitiva en la xarxa i la valoració de la informació en xarxa, tots dos camps sense connexió amb anterioritat a aquest treball. Tres estudis addicionals analitzen la web 2.0 des d'una perspectiva organitzacional, incloent (5) un estudi dels models de disseny de l'ús de la Web 2.0 en el sector farmacèutic, el qual detalla els millors models de pràctiques d'ús, i la seva clara relació amb els models de disseny de codi obert, i (6) també les estratègies d'innovació oberta al sector farmacèutic, on les eines de col•laboració en la xarxa permeten aquest tipus d'estratègies. Els dos últims estudis fan servir entrevistes amb 120 executius del sector farmacèutic analitzats a través d'anàlisi temàtic. Tots dos fan contribucions importants a la literatura mitjançant la caracterització de les estratègies d'innovació oberta i les implicacions per generar la capacitat d'absorció en el context d'innovació oberta. L'últim estudi (7) examina la Medicina 2.0 des de la perspectiva dels proveïdors de serveis de salut, per ajudar a la gestió d'ús de la Web 2.0 com un instrument per a millorar l’atenció sanitària.
En general, hi ha moltes contribucions importants a la literatura, que en conjunt aconsegueixen ampliar el panorama de la Web 2.0 en l'assistència sanitària, i aporten consideracions especifiques a la literatura que abasta els sistemes d'informació, les ciències de la informació i la informàtica mèdica , així com la innovació oberta i l'estratègia.Las colaboraciones democratizadas en Internet, entendiéndolas como las herramientas participativas de la red o la Web 2.0, afectan en la actualidad a numerosos aspectos nuestra vida. Los académicos destacan el potencial de la Web 2.0 para mejorar el eAprendizaje o la salud, así como su continuo impacto en sectores como el de la tecnología de medios de comunicación. También plantean un gran número de cuestiones importantes a los profesionales y estudiosos. Por ejemplo, la consideración crítica de la Web 2.0 como una burbuja o bien como un elemento más del marketing, que necesita de una determinación de su alcance y naturaleza. Este mismo punto es aplicable al uso de la Web 2.0 en el sector sanitario, también denominado como Medicina 2.0 o Sanitad 2.0. A este respecto y considerando el riesgo de que el contenido generado por otros usuarios sea utilizado para tomar decisiones relativas a la salud, y la eficacia no probada de la Web 2.0 como instrumento de la política sanitaria; los académicos del tema invitan a la definición de mejores modelos que se puedan aplicar al uso práctico de esta herramienta. Esta tesis se centra en el estudio de estas cuestiones fundamentales, en un campo que se mueve a gran velocidad, por detrás de la práctica real, y que requiere la concertación de una investigación interdisciplinaria. Por lo tanto, esta tesis incorpora siete obras distintas que ofrecen amplias perspectivas sobre el uso de herramientas de colaboración en la red en el campo de la atención sanitaria, cada una analizando el tema con una profundidad suficiente como para seguir siendo relevante en un campo en rápida evolución. Estas obras incluyen un examen de (1) la Web 2.0 y (2) la Medicina 2.0, utilizando el análisis del contenido de millones de conversaciones de la red, para identificar las principales cuestiones prácticas o teóricas y las tensiones que subyacen a cada concepto. Dos estudios adicionales analizan (3) cómo y por qué los médicos usan las herramientas de la Web 2.0, y (4) cómo los médicos buscan la información en este contexto en constante movimiento como es el de Internet. Estos dos estudios se basan en encuestas, diarios y entrevistas con los médicos que trabajan en el Servicio Nacional de Salud del Reino Unido. Ambos destacan resultados importantes tales como modelos para el uso de la Medicina 2.0, o contribuciones importantes a la literatura como la conexión de la búsqueda cognitiva en la red y la valoración de la información en red, ambos campos sin conexión con anterioridad al presente trabajo.Tres estudios adicionales analizan la Web 2.0 desde una perspectiva organizacional, incluyendo (5) un estudio de los modelos de diseño del uso de la Web 2.0 en el sector farmacéutico, el cual detalla los mejores modelos de prácticas de uso, y su clara relación con los modelos de diseño de la open source, y (6) y también las estrategias de innovación abierta en el sector farmacéutico donde las herramientas de colaboración en la red permiten este tipo de estrategias. Los dos últimos estudios emplean entrevistas con 120 ejecutivos del sector farmacéutico analizados a través de análisis temático. Ambos hacen contribuciones importantes a la literatura mediante la caracterización de las estrategias de innovación abierta y las implicaciones para generar la capacidad de absorción en el contexto de innovación abierta. El último estudio (7) examina la Medicina 2.0 desde la perspectiva de los proveedores de servicios de salud, para ayudar a la gestión de uso de la Web 2.0 como un instrumento para la gestión de una mejor atención sanitaria. En general, hay muchas contribuciones importantes a la literatura, que en conjunto logran ampliar el panorama de la Web 2.0 en la asistencia sanitaria, y aportan consideraciones específicas a la literatura que abarca los sistemas de información, las ciencias de la información, la informática médica, así como la innovación abierta y la estrategia.
Democratized internet collaborations, referring to participatory online tools or Web 2.0, now impact many aspects of people’s lives. Scholars note Web 2.0’s potential to improve eLearning or healthcare, and its ongoing impact in sectors such as tech-media. They also raise a plethora of important questions for practitioners and scholars, such as the criticism of Web 2.0 as hype or marketing term, which necessitates some determination of the scope and nature of Web 2.0. This holds equally for Web 2.0’s use in health care, denoted as Medicine 2.0 or Health 2.0. Moreover, given the risks of people using user-generated content for health decisions, and its unproven effectiveness as a health policy tool, scholars have called for best practice models of use. This thesis addresses these fundamental issues, in a field that is fast moving, behind actual practice, and that requires concerted inter-disciplinary research. Therefore, this thesis incorporates seven distinct works that provide broad perspectives on the use of online collaboration tools in healthcare, each analyzing a specific topic in enough depth to remain relevant in a fast moving field. These works include an examination of (1) Web 2.0 and (2) Medicine 2.0, using content analysis of millions of online conversations to surface the major practical or theoretical issues and tensions that underpin each concept. Two further studies examine (3) how and why doctors use Web 2.0 tools, and (4) how doctors search or forage for information in this evolving internet environment. These two studies rely on surveys, diaries and interviews from doctors working in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). Both highlight important results, such as models for Medicine 2.0 use, or make important contributions to literature such as connecting the previously separate cognitive online search and internet information judgment literatures. Three further studies examine Web 2.0 from an organizational perspective, including (5) design patterns of Web 2.0’s use in global Pharma, which details best practice models of use and its clear link to Open Source design patterns, and (6) global Pharma’s Open Innovation strategies, where online collaboration tools enable these strategies. The latter two studies employ interviews with 120 pharmaceutical executives analyzed through thematic analysis. They make major contributions to literature by characterizing open innovation strategies and gleaning implications for Absorptive Capacity in the Open Innovation context. The final study (7) examines Medicine 2.0 form the perspective of health service providers, informing management using eHealth as an instrument for improved healthcare management. Overall, there are many major contributions to literature, which together achieve both a broad overview of Web 2.0 in healthcare, but also make specific additions to literature encompassing information systems, information science, medical informatics, and open innovation and strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette nouvelle ère du numérique, l'accès à l'information est entré désormais dans une autre dimension. Nous assistons à la dominance d'un modèle fondé sur les opportunités offertes par un accès mondialisé à l'Internet et à son application phare : le "World Wide Web". Les services se sont multipliés. Les terminaux se sont diversifiés. Les technologies de transport se sont améliorées. Les attentes se sont élevées. Dans cette spirale que nous nous abstenons de qualifier, les opérateurs se trouvent désormais confrontés à une croissance soutenue du trafic dans leurs réseaux, en grande partie due au transport de flux vidéo. Les fournisseurs de services sur Internet se trouvent aussi concernés par la problématique de la qualité de service dont dépend la satisfaction de leurs utilisateurs. Pour l'ensemble des acteurs, ces nouvelles tendances présentent à la fois des défis et des opportunités. Les défis se concentrent dans la problématique de gestion de la demande croissante du trafic tout en maintenant une qualité d'expérience appropriée pour les utilisateurs. Les opportunités proviendront de l'adéquation entre une demande croissante des services Web en termes de qualité de services et des ressources qui devront supporter la distribution de ces services. Il est crucial pour chaque acteur de bien se positionner dans la chaîne de valeur pour gérer cette adéquation. Le rôle que prendra le réseau support, simple ensemble de tuyaux surdimensionnés, ou bien réseau intelligent offrant des fonctions avancées de contrôle illustre parfaitement cet enjeu. Ces deux alternatives sont respectivement connues sous les termes "dumb-pipe" ou "smart network". Dans cette thèse, nous considérons une nouvelle approche, qui se veut simple, efficace et adaptée pour faire face à ces défis. Les opérateurs réseaux et les fournisseurs de services sont mutuellement gagnants dans l'amélioration du transport de données dans les réseaux tout en continuant à opérer leur propre infrastructure. Cette démarche coopérative est le point de départ de nos travaux qui visent à définir un cadre, une architecture et des techniques appropriées qui amèneront ces acteurs à collaborer en vue de gérer conjointement cette problématique. Cette collaboration est nécessaire car chaque acteur quoique prisonnier de ses contraintes peut les transformer en relations contractuelles dans un processus client fournisseur pour l'optimisation de la gestion du traficIn this new digital world, driven by the dominance of a model based on the opportunities offered by global access to the Internet and its killer app: the World Wide Web, access to information is becoming a matter of a good experience and responsiveness. We are witnessing the Web services are of increasing popularity. New types of terminals are proposed. Communications technologies are improved. Users expectations are becoming higher. In such a context, network operators are facing serious challenges arising from the management of a massive traffic growth, largely driven by the increasing amount of video streams while internet services providers are also concerned by the issue of providing an adequate quality of experience to their end-users. For both actors, these dual trends present both challenges and opportunities. The challenges arise from the issues of managing the growing demand for traffic while maintaining appropriate quality of experience for users. Opportunities come from a smart management of the increasing demands of Web services in terms of quality of services and of the resources that will support the delivery of these services. It is then crucial for each actor to be well-positioned in the value chain to take part in this process. The role that will be played by the networks, as a basic set of oversized pipes, or as an intelligent network providing advanced management facilities, perfectly illustrates this issue. These two alternatives are respectively known as the "dumb-pipe" or "smart networks". In this thesis, we consider a new approach, which is simple, effective and adapted to meet these challenges. Network operators and service providers can mutually benefit from improving the data delivery in the networks while continuing to fully control their infrastructures. This collaborative approach is the starting bloc of our work aiming at defining a framework, an architecture and appropriate procedures to bring these actors to work together to manage this problem. This collaboration is particularly necessary because each actor, though prisoner of its constraints and capacities, can turn them into a contractual relation with the other in a client-supplier process for the optimization of traffic management

Full textAbstract:
This research study intends to find out about the use of online collaboration tools in supporting knowledge workers for the practice of employee volunteering. Online collaboration tools refer to the web-based technologies such as popular Web 2.0 tools like blogs or wikis and traditional online tools such as instant messenger, discussion forums, online chats and e-mail used by several individuals with the aim of achieving a common goal. The employee volunteering program- called Corporate Service Corps (CSC) - is an employee volunteering program in which the IBM employees tackle the economic and societal issues of the less developed countries they have been sent to while getting involved in project-based learning activities. This study provides an insight into how online engagement enabled the continuation of non-formal workplace learning practices such as volunteering and opened up possibilities for new ways to contribute to the learning process of employees. When it comes to online communities there is a mixture of entanglements, partnerships, negotiations and resistances between these tools and human actors. This research study explores how online communities are created by employee volunteers and also provides an understanding of non-formal learning practices within such fluid settings; important issues for organizations interested in non-formal learning practices of their employees are also raised. Today’s workplace settings are in constant need of recurrent learning processes interwoven with daily tasks on digital spaces. However, these digital spaces are not devoid of any issues and hence suggest the need for employees to be conscious of the emerging issues. The results from the case study are analysed by using participatory design methods in order to contribute to the understanding of the use of technology as both a single and collective experience. This research identified the specific benefits of online collaboration tools, and explored how their usage has been appropriated by employee volunteers for their practice of volunteering and how they influenced the process of their meaning-making. By doing so, it raised an awareness of the digital tools that provide collections of traits through which individuals can get involved in non-formal learning practices by having digital interactions with others.

Os tipos de organização, conceitos de cultura, conhecimento e colaboração nas organizações são apresentados para conseguir dar conta do conjunto das características internas que podem alterar as análises desta pesquisa. A metodologia por meio da observação não-participante nos blogs internos da Dell Computadores deve contribuir para melhor entendimento do objeto. Posteriormente as entrevistas semi-estruturada com seis funcionários selecionados, pretende estruturar a análise dos blogs internos da Dell Computadores e fornecer dados suficientes para este pesquisador identificar se este meio de comunicação tem potencial para a colaboração e gestão do conhecimento. Os resultados indicam que os blogs organizacionais internos contribuem para aproximar sujeitos da organização que estão geograficamente distantes, uma vez que estas estejam dispostas a oferecer o ambiente necessário e permitir que seus funcionários utilizem estes meio. A cultura oranizacional corresponde ao fator determinante neste processo, pois o tipo de organização, sua gestão e seus objetivos vão determinar se a cultura vai acompanhar a evolução da tecnologia e seus indivíduos serão engajados nas iniciativas para colaboração nestes ambientes. Além disso, a possibilidade de publicar e comentar nos blogs deve ser aberta aos funcionários, para que a colaboração ocorra entre os indivíduos, da mesma forma que os mesmos podem ser reconhecidos pelo seu conhecimento na organização.This work aims to investigate how blogs can foster internal collaboration and knowledge management in the organizational environment, from the perspective of information technology and communication in context before the growing use of social media. Types of organization, concepts of culture, knowledge and collaboration in organizations are presented able to account for all of the internal features that can alter the analysis of this research. The methodology through non-participant observation in internal blogs Dell Computers should contribute to better understanding of the object. Later, the semi-structured interviews with six selected employees, intends to structure the analysis of internal blogs Dell Computers and provide sufficient data for this researcher to identify whether this medium has potential for collaboration and knowledge management. The results indicate that the internal organizational blogs contribute to the organization's approach subjects that are geographically distant, since they are willing to provide the necessary environment and allow employees to use these means. The culture oranizacional match determining factor in this process, because the type of organization, its management and its objectives will determine if the culture will follow the evolution of technology and its individuals are engaged in initiatives for collaboration in these environments. Furthermore, the ability to post and comment on blogs should be open to employees, for collaboration to occur among individuals in the same way that they can be recognized for their knowledge in the organization.

Full textAbstract:
Les environnements virtuels collaboratifs sont des espaces 3D permettant à plusieurs utilisateurs de travailler ensemble pour réaliser une tâche commune. Pour concevoir de tels environnements, qui supportent les interactions homme-homme, il est important d’étudier comment les hommes développent un référentiel commun pour collaborer. Notre travail a consisté à explorer la notion de référentiel commun sur laquelle s’appuie toute activité collaborative. Cette notion favorise la compréhension mutuelle des tâches communes entre partenaires à travers un échange permanent d’informations, explicites et implicites. L’objectif de ce travail a donc été de faciliter et d’enrichir l’activité d’élaboration du référentiel commun dans les environnements virtuels collaboratifs en tirant parti des caractéristiques de ces derniers. En effet, la conception des éléments liés au référentiel commun (mode de communication, construction de l'environnement et interactions) est primordiale pour assurer le fonctionnement collaboratif de l'activité. Deux études expérimentales ont été réalisées autour de deux situations concrètes. La première étude montre que l’ajout d’indices visuels permet d’améliorer l’élaboration du référentiel commun dans le cadre d’une tâche de manipulation d’objets. La deuxième étude montre que la communication haptique permet d’améliorer la construction du référentiel commun autour d’une tâche d’apprentissage d’un geste technique. Ces résultats contribuent à donner des recommandations pour la conception d’environnement virtuel qui supportent la collaboration. Ceci est une première étape dans la définition d’une méthodologie de conception pour ce type de systèmesCollaborative virtual environments are 3D spaces that allow multiple users to work together on a common task. To design such environments to support human-human interactions, it is important to study how people develop a common frame of reference during collaboration. The concept of common frame of reference is central to all collaborative activities. It allows partners to understand each other through a continuous exchange of information (explicit and implicit). The ultimate goal of this research is to facilitate and enrich the construction of common frame of reference to accommodate specific collaborative virtual environments characteristics. Indeed, the design elements related to the common frame of reference (i. E. Communication modes, environment’s construction and interactions) are essential for successful collaborative activity. Two experimental studies were conducted using different collaborative virtual environments conditions. The first study shows that adding fixed landmarks can improve the development of common frame of reference within an objects manipulation task. The second study shows that haptic communication can improve the construction of the common frame of reference in a technical gesture learning task. These results are used to provide recommendations for collaborative virtual environments design. It represents a first step towards the development of a standardized collaborative virtual environments design methodology

Numérisation, nouvelle économie du Web ont créé de nouvelles pratiques de consommer et de travailler avec les dispositifs Internet. Les acteurs de l’innovation (laboratoires publics, acteurs de la R&D, collectivités locales, etc.) s’engagent de façon croissante vers des modèles alternatifs de conception distribuée. Des « lead-users » au « crowdsourcing », ces modèles de conception collaborative distribuée prennent notamment appui sur le potentiel de diffusion et de communication offert par l'Internet et la mutualisation de ressources qu'il autorise. L’ambition est ici de construire des espaces de conception et coopération ouverts, réunissant des concepteurs issus d’horizons divers et multipliant les interfaces collaboratives avec des utilisateurs expérimentés de façon à conduire à la définition conjointe de nouveaux produits combinant les technologies et les compétences apportées par chaque entité partie prenante.La thèse propose de développer une connaissance et d’opérer un retour réflexif à partir d’études de cas sur ces nouveaux modèles d’intermédiation de marché et d’innovation. Elle cherche à raisonner les échanges coopératifs en s’intéressant d’une part aux dispositifs qui les supportent (interfaces), d’autre part à la construction des règles de fonctionnement de ce type de « communauté modulaire » (individus dispersés en termes géographiques, organisationnels, culturels, hétérogénéité des profils), cependant engagée dans la mise en commun des connaissances et l’intégration des compétences autour d’assemblages technologiques nouveaux. Les axes de recherche pour répondre à ces questions s’organisent autour des interfaces et instrumentations des processus de coordination, des systèmes d’échange économiques et sociaux (contribution/rétribution) et du fonctionnement et régulation communautaireScanning, new Web economy have created new practices to consume and work with Internet devices. The innovation actors (public laboratories, from R & D, local authorities, etc.) are committed increasingly to alternative models distributed design. The "lead-users" to "crowdsourcing", these distributed collaborative design models are notably supported the potential of dissemination and communication offered by the Internet and the pooling of resources authorized. The ambition here is to build open development and cooperation areas, bringing together designers from different backgrounds and multiplying collaborative interfaces with experienced users in order to lead to the joint definition of new products combining technologies and skills made each entity involved.The thesis proposes to develop knowledge and operate a reflexive return from case studies on these new models of market intermediation and innovation. She tries to reason with the cooperative exchange by focusing on the one hand to devices that support (interfaces) on the other hand the construction of the operating rules of this type of "modular community" (individuals scattered geographically, organizational, cultural, diversity of profiles), however, engaged in the sharing of knowledge and integration skills around new technological assemblies. Research areas to address these issues are organized around the instrumentation interfaces and coordination processes of economic and social exchange systems (contribution / reward) and operation and community control

Based on these considerations, I conclude that must be relativized and denaturalized ideas that dichotomize collective subject and which propose freedom and political experience as products accessed by enterprising individuals because this funding model often requires the production of hegemonic subjectivity mechanisms, but it still has power as oxygenation device and can create new areas of resistance.

Pour ce faire, je me suis focalisée sur deux dimensions : faciliter l'organisation des ressources et des connaissances au sein de l'organisation et favoriser le travail collaboratif (le partage de ressources, l'échange de connaissances ou de compétences, la communication et la coordination au sein d’une communauté). Dans le cadre de cette thèse, j'ai choisi de : a) modéliser une mémoire organisationnelle de formation afin d'organiser et de capitaliser les connaissances, les ressources et les compétences de l'organisation, b) structurer cette mémoire grâce à une ontologie de domaine et des ontologies d'application, c) modéliser plusieurs mémoires favorisant la collaboration au sein d'une communauté, d) utiliser des technologies du Web2. 0 afin de faciliter les échanges et la coordination.

Le développement de la collaboration à distance induit un besoin de nouveaux outils pour suppléer aux instanciations perceptives de la confiance pendant l'interaction en présence physique. Dans cette recherche sur les signaux faibles de la perte de confiance, nous nous sommes intéressés aux sources de la perception de la perte de confiance à partir leur naissance biophysique émotionnelle jusqu'à leur expression dans le discours. Nous avons ensuite croisé les données de l'expression émotionnelle de la perte de confiance que nous avons pu recueillir avec un entretien et la production collective de la collaboration à distance dans le cas d'un développement Web offshore (clients Européens, maître d'oeuvre Pantha Corp.

This qualitative study focused on the strategies that two marginalized seventh graders used as they completed an Internet inquiry project about survival. The participants spent time over a four-week period in three phases—selecting a topic, locating information, and presenting information. Participants completed journals and participated in interviews. The participants' online searches and how they organized their presentations were recorded. The researcher took field notes. These four data sources were used to determine subcategories in each phase to document the strategies they employed as they completed the project. Participants used phrases and questions as they decided on key words to locate information. The majority of the sites they visited ended in the .com domain. They used different web browsers and spent varied amounts of time reading websites once they decided on key words and selected sites. Each participant approached the project uniquely and met the requirements to complete it.

Full textAbstract:
Equipes et communautés virtuelles deviennent un mode relationnel collectif largement généralisé. Elles possèdent des caractéristiques spécifiques : distances géographiques, rencontres physiques rares voire inexistantes, aptitude à inclure des grands nombres, facilité d’entrée-sortie, communication écrite dominante, ou effacement du statut social. Elles disposent d’un important bouquet d’outils web 2.0 collaboratifs avec des capacités propres, telles que la mémorisation des échanges, la possibilité du synchrone et de l’asynchrone, le dialogue multiple simultané, l’anonymat éventuel. La collaboration à distance réclame l’acquisition d’un nouveau savoir-faire devenu impératif, que nous appelons le management virtuel. Basée sur l’Analyse Systémique et l’Adaptive Structuration Theory, cette recherche propose un modèle, une mesure et une méthode d’aide au management virtuel. Le modèle est une représentation d’une entité virtuelle en trois dimensions fonctionnelles : la valeur ajoutée collective, la satisfaction des membres, et la flexibilité des frontières. Il s’appuie sur le concept d’adjacence, qui ajoute aux deux rôles d’un individu – l’agent, membre agissant pour la collectivité et l’acteur, stratège agissant pour lui - celui de personne connectée à d’autres individus ou communautés de même domaine d’intérêt. Toute entité virtuelle possède des individus adjacents et communautés adjacentes, en dehors d’elle, et intéressant le management virtuel. La mesure de la e-collaboration comprend celles de l’usage et de l’intérêt pour 18 outils collaboratifs. Elle a été réalisée auprès d’un échantillon de 199 entreprises pendant trois ans. The traitement de cette base de données a permis la création du modèle. Elle révèle des sous-groupes hostiles ou en faveur de la e-collaboration et indique sous quelles conditions elle est envisageable. Elle donne des tendances. Ainsi, les pratiques de community management commencent à être exploitées en interne dans le management d’équipes virtuelles. L’échantillon de grandes entreprises a montré aussi que la e-collaboration est en avance dans un pays émergent, le Vietnam, par rapport à la France. La recherche propose enfin une méthode, dénommée VEMS, Virtual Entities Management Support. Elle part d’une analyse de l’environnement et de la définition d’une stratégie en trois dimensions, puis détermine les fonctions de l’équipe ou de la communauté, les attitudes et les outils adéquats. Elle offre un choix de 18 fonctions et 79 attitudes déduites des recommandations de la littérature et enrichies des observations de l’échantillon. Cette méthode a été appliquée à cinq entités virtuelles de nature très différentes : internes chez un industriel et une banque, externes chez un réseau social, une communauté de fans de web séries, et une autre de fans de cuisine. Ces communautés possèdent de 160.000 à 40 membres. Pour chacune, une stratégie a pu être déployée, avec une série précise d’attitudes et d’outils, point de départ d’un programme opérationnel. Cinq fonctions et 22 attitudes sont communes à toutes les entités étudiées, dont six concernent les adjacences. Elles peuvent être considérées comme le fondement du management virtuel. La méthode a été également déployée auprès de quatre communautés de marques d’un même secteur à faible engagement. Quatre scénarios ont été déduits, dont la participation dans une communauté adjacente, préférable à celui de la création d’une communauté propreVirtual teams and communities become a widely spread collective relational mode. They have specific characteristics: geographical distances, physical meetings rare or nonexistent, ability to include large numbers, ease of input-output, dominant written communication, erasure of social status. They can benefit from a large number of web 2.0 collaborative tools with their own capacities, such as the storage of communications, the possibility of synchronous and asynchronous dialogue, multiple simultaneous exchanges, eventual anonymity. The e-collaboration requires the acquisition of a new imperative skill that we call virtual management. Based on the Systemic Analysis and Adaptive Structuration Theory, this research proposes a model, a measurement and a method, the Virtual Entities Management Support. The model is a representation of a virtual entity in three functional dimensions: the collective value, member satisfaction, and flexible frontiers. It is based on the concept of adjacency, which adds to the two roles of the individual - the agent acting for the community, and the actor acting for himself - the person connected to other individuals or communities with the same area of interest. Any virtual entity is connected to adjacent individuals and communities, an area of interest of the virtual management. The proposed measurement of e-collaboration includes the use and the interest for 18 collaborative tools. It was conducted with a sample of 199 companies for three years. This database processing has enabled the creation of the model. It reveals subgroups hostile or for e-collaboration and under what conditions it is interesting. It provides trends. Thus, the practice of community management begins to be used internally in the management of virtual teams. The sample of large firms also showed that e-collaboration is ahead in an emerging country, Vietnam, compared with France. The research also proposes a Virtual Entities Management Support method, called VEMS. It starts with an analysis of the environment, the definition of a strategy in three dimensions, and then determines the functions of the team or community, the attitudes and its appropriate tools. It offers a choice of 18 functions and 79 attitudes derived from the literature recommendations and enriched with the sample observations. This method has been applied to five virtual entities of different kinds: internal to an industrial manufacturer and a large bank, external to a social network, a community of fans of web series, and another community of fans of cookery. This entities include from 40 up to 160,000 members. For each, a strategy has been defined, with a specific set of attitudes and tools, the starting point of an operational program. Five functions and 22 attitudes are common to all the entities studied, six of which relate to adjacencies. They can be considered as the foundation of virtual management. The method has also been deployed to four brand communities of a sector with low consumer engagement. Four scenarios were deducted, including the participation to an adjacent community, preferable to the creation of a brand community

My study is informed by a partnership initiated between Gun Free South Africa and the Department of Education (District Tshwane South) with the concern of addressing violence in schools. Schools are often seen as professionalised and distant from their local communities. Learners belong to the very communities that are distanced from the school. They bring to school the unresolved issues from their families and interpersonal relations within the community. The study aimed to explore and describe the experiences of violence by a school community and how they cope with it. The study was informed by a qualitative and instrumental case study design within an interpretivist paradigm. Furthermore, the study was guided by an integrated conceptual framework derived from an asset-based and ecosystemic model, coping theories and the management system adapted from Babbie (2001). To address this I incorporated a variety of strategies such as interviews, collages, timeline and concept mapping through which a crystallisation of data could be obtained. I also used informal observations and visual data as additional data generating methods. Through a thematic analysis approach the study reveal the existence of violence as a challenge to the school community, and impacts directly or indirectly to their well-being. The study has further indicated that the perpetrators are known to the victims. The findings of the study suggest that on the basis of the integrated conceptual framework support structures could be mobilized, building partnerships between local schools and the community to provide a firm foundation for educational renewal and community regeneration and to contribute directly to the strengthening and development of the school community. The information gathered might also assist policy developers in developing support and intervention programmes for the restoration of school safety.

La première question posée concerne les documents en ligne porteurs de savoirs.

Le nom générique pour le système dynamique imaginé est celui de grenier de savoirs. Cette expérimentation nous a amené a étudié l'épistémè hypermoderne à partir de trois ouvrages : Les mots et les choses de Michel Foucault, Nous n'avons jamais été modernes de Bruno Latour et la trilogie Sphères de Peter Sloterdijk. Cette méthode est appliquée à la fabrication d'un grenier de savoirs sur la construction en terre-argile crue par une pratique collaborative. Les artefacts de cette recherche sont deux prototypes de greniers de savoirs, une application en PHP MySQL JavaScript pour le dialogue entre auteurs et utilisateurs de documents décrivant les entrelacements entre humains et utils dans le processus collaboratifThe first question is about how on line knowledge documents should be organised in order to be well indexed by Google and similar search engines. The second topoi' explored is how human beings and zeug-tools (1) should be interweaved to have a good-enough production of knowledge documents. The "ideal figure" to be explored is a compound of humans and tools that would fit with the two objectives. This future oriented experiment led us to study wiiat we call "hypermodern paradigm" or best "hypermodern espisteme". The three key works for defining the way people view the world in a time after modernity and postmodernity are Michel Foucault's The order of things. , Bruno Latour's We Have Never Been Modern and Peter Sloterdijk's Spharen. Within this episteme it is possible to describe a "method for discourse production". This method is applied for the description of a practical case building a knowledge garner experiencing collaborative learning. The output of this research is made of two knowledge garner prototypes some PHP MySQL JavaScript code for the dialogue between authors and users of documents (iii) some hundreds of pages of what is called describing and clarifying interweaving of humans and zeug-tools in the collaborative process

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose une méthodologie de pilotage d'organisations complexes, ens'intéressant à de nouvelles méthodes de planification collaborative et d'optimisation d'interventions en environnements soumis à des rayonnements ionisants. En nous basant sur l'étude d'installations scientifiques et technologiques complexes tels que celles du CERN à Genève (Suisse) et de la GSI à Darmstadt (Allemagne), nous y analysons les besoins et contraintes de planification imposés par les environnements à risques en général, et par lesrayonnements ionisants en particulier. Les implications liées à la collaboration sont ensuite détaillées, et un modèle ontologique d'intervention est proposé afin de sélectionner les méthodes les plus adaptées au problème étudié. La méthode proposée dans cette thèse repose sur des techniques éprouvées en planification de projets ainsi qu'en conception de produits comme la Design Structure Matrix (DSM). Elle introduit en revanche dans ces domaines des méthodes habituellement rencontrées en intelligence artificielle : les algèbres temporelles qualitatives et la propagation des contraintes temporelles, ainsi que la recherche de compromis en cas de conflit. Cette « DSM Collaborative » a été implémentée dans une application prototype testée sur des cas pratiques au CERN et à la GSI, dont le premier est décrit dans l'ultime chapitre de cette thèse. C'est une approche qui place la ressource(essentiellement humaine) et les contraintes temporelles au coeur du processus de planification. Elle met l'accent sur la collaboration entre les différents participants, ainsi que sur la simulation et la comparaison multicritère de multiples scenarii plutôt que sur la recherche d'un unique optimum souvent irréalisable sur le plan pratiqueThis work proposes a methodology to handle complexity in organizations byfocusing on innovative and collaborative planning and scheduling methods dedicated to the optimization of interventions in environments emitting ionizing radiations. By taking as work environment highly complex and technological scientific facilities such as the ones of CERN in Geneva (Switzerland) and GSI in Darmstadt (Germany), we analyze the needs and requirements induced in intervention planning and scheduling by hazardous environments in general, and then more specifically by ionizing radiations. The implications of collaborative work are then scrutinized, and an ontological model for interventions is designed in order to select the methods best suited to our problem. The framework we present in this work relies on methods sucessfully used in project planning and scheduling and innovative product design like the Design Structure Matrix (DSM). It also introduces in these fields methods borrowed to artificial intelligence planning and scheduling such as the temporal qualitative algebras, constraint propagation, and the search of compromises in case of conflicts. This so called “Collaborative DSM” has been implemented in a prototype software application tested at CERN and GSI on practical applications. The very first one and its results are presented in the final chapter of this thesis. This framework aims at placing resources (mostly human resources) and temporal constraints at the heart of the planning and scheduling process. It focuses on collaboration between the different actors involved, from coordinators to technicians, and on simulation and multiple-criteria comparison of several scenarios, rather than searching for a unique optimum, which often tends to be non-practical, should one even be found

Full textAbstract:
Den digitala utvecklingen har gjort det möjligt för musikproducenter att samarbeta med musiker, artister och medproducenter på distans via internet under produktionsprocessen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av en intervjuundersökning med fyra musikproducenter nå fördjupad kunskap om deras arbetsprocess med andra via internet. Tidigare forskning om musikproduktion har pekat på tekniska möjligheter att använda moln-tjänster för musikproducenter (Kozsolko, 2015). Det är tekniskt nya möjligheter sedan Gullö (2010) pekade på musikproducenters multikompetens och arbete med DAWs under produktionsprocessen. Resultaten visar på att musikproducenterna som arbetar med distansproduktioner skickar ljudfiler fram och tillbaka mellan varandra via onlinetjänster som Dropbox, Sprend och We Transfer och ibland även egna servrar. Det är mycket ovanligt att de skickar hela projekt då de sällan använder samma musikprogram (DAW). Respondenternas tankar gällande ledarrollen är att det är den är väldigt viktig för att projektet ska flyta på, det fanns dock delade meningar över hur det kan se ut. Tre av de fyra intervjuade musikproducenterna föredrar att behålla så mycket kontroll som möjligt och har ibland svårt att helt lämna över en uppgift till någon annan. Deras tankar kring musikprogrammens cloud-funktioner där det går att arbeta i samma projekt med andra i realtid möttes av blandade reaktioner där några såg det som opraktiskt och rörigt och några som potentiellt intressant men inget de skulle prova på under den närmaste tiden. Diskussionen visar att producentyrket är svår att placera under konst eller hantverk då det innehåller båda aspekterna. Ledarrollen kan se olika ut men behöver vara aktiv för att fungera i ett distanssamarbete. Konventioner är viktiga för att fastställa nya arbetsmetoder.

Its objective is to define and analyse the collaborative strategies in interactive writing practiced by a virtual community of blogging students. The theoretical framework is mainly qualitative, based on the principles of action research and more specifically Research and Development. The data for empirical studies were collected through a digital learning environment – a Communitarian Blog, specifically constructed and enriched with different plug-ins. In this learning environment, students, aged 15-17, from Poland, Ukraine, Italy and the Czech Republic, stimulated by a learning scenario, developped written interactions for eight months. The study has demonstrated that the added extensions have facilitated the emergence of a new learning community. It has also shown how the added artefacts have been used, allowing for an extensive analysis of the strategies mobilised for writing and the characteristics of this interactive writing

O estudo de caso da wikicidade Portoalegre.cc apresentado nessa dissertação questionou em medida essa iniciativa de participação digital possibilitou a interação entre o governo local, os cidadãos e a empresa de tecnologia que desenvolveu o projeto, estabelecendo, assim, interfaces que efetivassem à criação e à mobilização de projetos colaborativos entre sociedade, mercado e Estado. Por meio da investigação em fontes documentais secundárias, em entrevistas semiestruturadas, no conteúdo gerado na plataforma e nas sistematizações provenientes da técnica de livre navegação no website, foram realizadas a descrição da plataforma como um construto tecnocultural e uma estrutura socioeconômica, bem como a caracterização das dimensões que a definem como uma iniciativa de participação digital. A partir desses esforços investigativos, identificou-se que os cidadãos-usuários participaram mais por demandas e opiniões sobre a ação estatal e sobre a condição urbana e menos por meio de proposições e de mobilizações representativas de práticas colaborativas conforme previa a proposta da plataforma. Sem contar, que a gramática relacional entre a esfera civil – circunscrita aos cidadãos-usuários envolvidos – e a Administração Municipal de Porto Alegre não caracterizou-se pela troca mútua. Nesse sentido, foi baixa a efetividade das potencialidades do mapeamento colaborativo, produzido por meio da plataforma Portoalegre.cc, para a materialização de projetos colaborativos entre atores sociais e atores estatais. Dentre outras razões, essa realidade contribuiu para a descontinuidade da iniciativa.The relations between the internet and policy become increasingly field of sociological research in Brazil. The evolution of digital platforms has particulary important implications for civic engagement and political participation. The case study of Portoalegre.cc wikicity, dealt in this dissertation, evaluated in extent this initiative of digital participation enabled the interaction between the local government, citizens and the technology company that developed the project, thereby exploiting new forms of interfaces that had the creation and the mobilisation of collaborative projects between society, market and State. By analysis of secondary source documents, semi-structured interviews, platform’s generated content database and free navigation technique through the site , it has been described the platform as a techno-cultural construct and a socioeconomic structure, as well as it was characterized the dimensions that define as an initiative of digital participation. From these investigative efforts, it was identified that the citizens-users participated more by demands and opinions on the state action or on the urban condition and less to the proposition and the mobilisation of collaborative practices as envisaged in the proposal of the platform. Added to that, the relational grammar between the civil sphere - circumscribed to citizensusers involved - and the city government of Porto Alegre was not of mutual exchange. In this sense, the effectiveness of potential of collaborative mapping produced by means of platform Portoalegre.cc was low, having little impact for collaborative projects between social actors and state actors.Among other reasons, this reality has contributed to the discontinuity of the initiative.

Full textAbstract:
Information Technology is advancing at a frightening pace. Cloud computing and its subset, Software as a Service (SaaS), are rapidly challenging traditional thinking for enterprise-level application and infrastructure provision. The project-centric nature of the construction industry provides an environment where the utilisation of SaaS is commercially appropriate, given its ability to provide rapid set-up and predictable costs at the outset. Using project extranets, the construction industry has been - unusually for it as an industry sector - early-adopters of this cloud computing model. However, findings from the research highlight that there is a gap in the information and documents that pass from the construction phase into the operational phase of a building. This research considers examples of the SaaS IT model and how it has been used within a construction and facilities management industry context. A prototype system was developed to address the requirements of facilities management work order logging and tracking process. These requirements were gathered during detailed case studies of organisations within both the construction and facilities management sectors with a view to continue the use of building-specific information through its full life-cycle. The thesis includes a summary of the lessons learnt through system implementation within the construction-contracting organisation Taylor Woodrow, and it concludes with an IT strategy proposal that was developed based on a cloud computing model.

A partir da contextualização da colaboração enquanto processo integrante da inteligência coletiva (LÉVY, 2003) e da sabedoria das multidões (SUROWIECKI, 2006), este trabalho visa estudar o conflito como importante fator destes processos coletivos. Os desequilíbrios fazem parte da trajetória humana, porém, percebe-se a recorrente intenção de os vislumbrar como questões negativas e de aniquilação das relações, deixando de lado sua faceta de potencialidade à impulsão de uma reconfiguração benéfica do processo em que atua. Uma prática interessante no estudo dos conflitos na colaboração é a escrita coletiva online. A independência de espaço e tempo e a multiplicidade de vozes que podem incidir em um projeto textual abrem espaço para negociações, debates e tensões de diversas naturezas. Além disso, também se verifica uma visão por vezes demasiada otimista, que acaba relevando as questões estruturais, dinâmicas e comportamentais nos processos de produção de sentido e os conflitos que podem surgir a partir disso. Nesse sentido, questiona-se: qual a influência dos conflitos no processo de escrita coletiva online? Este projeto, através de pesquisa teórica e empírica, procura responder a esta questão sob uma perspectiva comunicacional, que leve em consideração as relações e interações para além da harmonia permanente atribuída a estes processos por diversas áreas do conhecimento. Para a verificação empírica apresentam-se dois projetos colaborativos de produção textual: a Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre de larga utilização e popularidade e o projeto do Laboratório de Interação Mediada por Computador da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, o Co-dex, o dicionário social, ambiente criado para abarcar conceitos, resenhas e biografias da área da comunicação e da ciência da informação. Em ambos foram realizadas observações sistemáticas para verificação das tensões provenientes da interação e produção coletiva a fim de que, juntamente com o aporte teórico desenvolvido, a questão norteadora deste trabalho pudesse ser investigada. Conclui-se que os conflitos que permeiam os processos colaborativos de produção de sentido dizem respeito a aspectos de ordem textual e de ordem relacional e que estes se encontram conexos na medida em que exercem influência um no outro. Acredita-se que as tensões possuem forte relevância no desenvolvimento das relações entre os colaboradores e na construção de conteúdo no sentido de instaurar os desequilíbrios necessários a uma "reequilibração majorante" (PIAGET, 1977).From the context of collaboration as a process of the collective intelligence (LÉVY, 2003) and wisdom of crowds (SUROWIECKI, 2006) this work aims to study the conflict as an important factor of these collective processes. The imbalances are part of human history, however, recurrently we find a purpose to see this issues as negative and of annihilation of relations, leaving aside the aspect of the potential impulsion to beneficial reconfiguration of the process in which it operates. An interesting practice in the study of conflicts in collaboration is the online collective writing. The independence of space and time and the multiplicity of voices that can focus on a project textual, opens space for negotiations, debates and tensions of various kinds. In addition, sometimes there is too optimistic view, which relieves the issues of structural, dynamics and behavior in the production of meaning and the conflict that may arise from it. In this sense, is questioned: what is the influence of conflicts in the process of online collective writing? This project, through theoretical and empirical research, seeks to answer this question in a communicational perspective, which takes into account the relationships and interactions beyond the harmony permanently assigned to these processes for various areas of knowledge. For the empirical verification are presented two collaborative projects of textual production: the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, wide used and with popularity and the project of the Laboratory of Computer-mediated Interaction of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, the Co-dex, the social dictionary, environment created for concepts, reviews and biographies of the area of communication and information science. In both observations were made for systematic verification of the tensions from the interaction and collective production so that, together with the developed theoretical contribution, the guiding question of this work could be investigated. It is concluded that the conflicts that permeate the processes of collaborative production of meaning relate to aspects of a textual and relational order and that they are related and influence each other. It is believed that the tensions have strong relevance in the development of relations between the collaborators and building content to introduce imbalances needed for a "majorant reequilibration" (Piaget, 1977).
