Paper Abstract:
|
In collaborative projects companies seek to form alliances with partners who they deem trustworthy and competent in
completing their part of a job. The main problem in identifying suitable partners arises when companies have not
collaborated with potential partners before, and therefore it is not possible to judge their trustworthiness and expertise.
Online reputation systems play a big role in this case in facilitating the building up of a companys picture with regards to
the quality of services it offers, and the companys trustworthiness. The purpose of this short paper is to present the
research in progress from a European co-funded project that tries to develop an e-collaboration platform to facilitate
interactions amongst Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in European value chains in the Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) industry. Potential collaboration partners in this case are identified according to the reputation of each
partner, the establishment of which is presented in this paper. |
