Abstract:The force driving a project-based organization (PBO) is the performance and completion of project tasks. Because of this, PBOs rely on collaborative relationships and innovative technologies to accomplish their goals. This paper examines a framework that could help PBOs improve their collaborations and a multi-level strategy that may help PBOs use innovation technologies more effectively. In doing so, it defines the concept of collaboration and overviews the field's literature on collaboration and on using technology to improve inter-organization collaboration; it identifies the barriers to collaboration that PBOs often face and the organizational typologies common to PBOs. It looks at how collaborative information technologies can support PBOs, noting how--via a proposed framework--these functionalities relate to the process of managing projects. It then outlines the proposed strategy, explaining the concept of e-collaboration and its relationship to collaboration in PBOs. It discusses the process of implementing this strategy, listing its key activities and factors. It also describes the primary differences in practicing inter-project collaboration and intra- and inter-organization collaboration.
