Virtual Enterprise Environments (VEEs) to enable innovation in collaborative networks - Initial modelling approach

Abstract

This paper describes the terminology of Virtual Enterprise Environments as a construct to enable the combination of spaces for open innovation and Virtual Enterprises. This shall contribute towards better management of innovation processes in collaborative networks. Consequently this includes the Business Innovation Space and the Value Production Space, which are shared by the collaborating enterprises. Initial attempts are made to characterize the schematics of these spaces and their interactions. © 2012 International Federation for Information Processing.
