Abstract

The purpose of this special issue is to explore effective and innovative use of collaborative work and knowledge management in the electronic business era. After our initial screening, 45 out of 60 submitted papers were chosen for the double-blind review process. With the help of over 60 reviewers, seven quality papers are selected to be included in this issue. The selected papers cover many knowledge management and collaborative work-related issues, such as organizational memory, virtual collaborative work, knowledge map, trust and conflict, intelligence of team, group support argumentation, and distribution network optimization. One of the articles proposes the use of information technology to extend the transactive memory approach popular in small group research to large groups. Another article elaborates on the difficulty in using contextual knowledge under virtual organization where virtual collaboration takes place. Another article describes a new decision support system that has the same intelligence as human team members, thus called InteliTeam. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
