Telecollaboration for eBusiness Sustainability

Abstract

eBusiness is not a new phenomenon and many of the eBusiness technologies are readily available for mid-sized and large organisations. However, "telecollaboration (TC) for eBusiness sustainability" is a new concept for workplace managers that include a wide array of interconnected business concepts, and activities involved in evaluating the collaborative opportunities whilst managing the eBusiness transition. This paper begins with a discussion on the importance of managing eBusiness transition, and the reason why the investigation of TC for business sustainability is unique. This is followed by proposing intuitive methodological framework which promotes the previous research on TC to describe and shape scholarly inquiry into eBusiness/TC interface management challenges. Finally, this paper opens up new avenues for spirited debates on moving towards a deep sense of what eBusiness/TC interface key management activities that the workplace managers want to take advantage during the innovative use of experiential TC for business sustainability.
