Description

In enterprises, limitations of time and place vanish more and more due to virtual collaboration. As a business domain, product costing is characterized by a high demand for communication, coordination, and information exchange. A prior study revealed that virtual cooperation has not been integrated into this particular business area and that there is a need to find ways to enable and support such specific forms of virtual collaboration. To navigate the challenge of integrating virtual cooperation support directly into the core process of a particular business domain we introduce Business Domain-Specific eCollaboration. We present a requirements model for integrated virtual cooperation in product costing derived from expert interviews. It shows what an integrative approach can offer in order to link collaboration support directly into the process of a particular business domain.
