摘要:As ecommerce continues to grow, the need for effective collaborative learning environments will continue to grow. Collaborative communities can be leveraged for things such as distance education, business innovation, etc. but in order for these things to be leveraged to their maximum potential, value has to be created so that the costs participants give up, e.g., time, are acceptable given the potential benefits received. This paper begins to look at how value can be created in communities, and how it can foster a collaborative environment where innovation can occur.
