Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Collaboration What is it?

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Collaboration What is it? “… making joint effort toward achieving an agreed upon goal.” Meeting is a common form of collaboration

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Collaboration Why collaborate?

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Why Collaborate? Review Share Work Share the Vision Socialize Build Consensus Solve Problems Make Decisions Synergy Share Information Build Trust

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Making decision in groups When people work in group (i.e. team), they perofrm groupwork (i.e. teamwork) Groupwork refers to work done by two or more people together

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Characteristics of group work A group perform a task (sometimes decision making, sometimes not)

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Characteristics of group work Group members may be located in different places

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Characteristics of group work Group members may work at different times Group members may work for the same organization or for different organizations A group can be permanent or temporary A group can be at one managerial level or spam several levels

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Characteristics of group work It can create synergy (leading to process or task gains) or conflict. It can generate productivity gains and/or losses. The task may have to be accomplished very quickly or not. It may be impossible or too expensive for all the team members to meet in one place, especially when the group is called for emergency purposes

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Characteristics of group work Some of the needed data, information, or knowledge may be located in many sources, some of which may be external to the organization. The expertise of nonteam members may be needed. Groups perform many tasks; however, groups of managers and analysts frequently concentrate on decision making

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Characteristics of group work The decision made by a group are easier to implement if supported by all (or at least most) members

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Group decision making process: Characteristics of meetings

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Supporting groupwork with computerized systems

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall GSS Meetings By using the computer everyone can SPEAK and be understood simultaneously

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Communication Support Vital Needed for collaboration Modern information technologies provide inexpensive, fast, capable, reliable means of supporting communication Internet / Web

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall  Evolution of Communication  Word of mouth  Delivery persons  Horseback  Snailmail  Telegraph  Telephone  Radio  Television  Videoconferencing  Internet / Web… Supporting Communication

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall A Time/Place Communication Framework

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall The four cells of the framework

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall  Goal: to support groupwork  Increase benefits / decrease losses of collaboration  Based on traditional methods  Nominal Group Technique “Individuals work alone to generate ideas which are pooled under guidance of a trained facilitator”  Delphi Method “A structured process for collecting and distilling knowledge from a group of experts by means of questionnaires”  Electronic Meeting System (EMS) Group Support Systems (GSS)

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Process Gains:  Parallelism( simultaneous contributions )  Larger groups can participate  Anonymity( promotes equal participation )  Focus on content not personalities  Triggering ( stimulates thinking )  Synergy ( integrates ideas )  Structure ( facilitates problem solving )  Record keeping ( promotes organizational memory ) Process Loses:  Free-riding  Flaming GSS – Important Features

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Tools for Indirect support of decision making

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools They provide a way for groups to share resources and opinions. They imply the use of networks to connect people, even if they are in the same room. Many products are available on the Internet or the intranet to enhance the collaboration of a large number of people worldwide.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools types : General, Synchronous vs asynchronous products Synchronous: communication and collaboration are done in real-time. Exp: web-conferencing, IM, Voice over IP (VoIP) Asynchronous: communication and collaboration are done by the participants at different times. Exp: , wikilogs, online workspaces.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Real-time collaboration (RTC) tools The internet, intranet and extranet offer tremendous potential for real-time and synchronous interaction for people working in groups. RTC tools help companies bridge time and space to make decisions and collaboration on projects

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Real-time collaboration (RTC) tools These tools have being used in distance learning, virtual classroom, personnel training, product demonstrations, customer support, e-commerce, and sales applications.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Example: Webex

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Example: Webex

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Example: Webex on mobile phone

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Electronic teleconferencing (non video) Teleconferencing is the use of electronic communication to enable two or more people at different locations to have a simultaneous conference. It is the simplex infrastructure for supporting a virtual meeting The oldest and simplest is a telephone conference call.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Electronic teleconferencing (non video) The biggest disadvantage of this method is that it does not allow for face-to-face communication. Also, participants from different locations can not see graphs, charts, and pictures at other locations (we can use faxes to overcome that, but expensive, time consuming, and poor quality process).

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Video teleconferencing (VideoConferencing) Participants in one locations can see participants in other locations. Dynamic pictures of the participants can appear on a large screen and/or on a desktop computer Participants can share data, voice, pictures, graphics, and animations.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Web teleconferencing It is conducted on the Internet. It is much less expensive than videoconferencing.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Interactive whiteboards These are a type of groupware. They work like real-world whiteboard with markers and erasers, except for one big difference: Instead of one person standing in front of a meeting room drawing on the whiteboard, all participants can join in.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Screen sharing By using screen sharing software, group members can work on the same document, which is shown on the PC screen of each participant.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Instant video (IV) The spread of IM and Internet technology has naturally led to the idea of linking people via both voice and audio. Called instant video, the idea is a kind of video chat room.

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Online workspace Online electronic workspace are online screens that allow people to share documents, files, project plans, calendars, and so on in the same online place, though not necessary at the same time (asynchronous). It is an extension of screen sharing

Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Groupware tools: Integrated groupware SUITES Integrating several technologies can save time and money for users.
