To find the right partners requires not only in private life big efforts. Concretely we are forced to solve this issue in building Virtual Networks for organizing tourism events. To solve these problems organizations must tackle two main challenges, the first one concern about the collaboration behavior, and the second one about tourism offers. Collaboration Agents, which are based on Semantic Web and Ontology, could solve these challenges. ECOLEAD, which was introduced in the ENTER conference (see [Withalm, Wolfel, 2005]), undertakes great endeavors to solve issues for Collaboration Networks. Collaboration Agents, which will be implemented by service providers on behave of an event organizer, will be roaming through the web, looking for appropriate partner, and evaluating their collaboration and tourism offers.

The design and build of new aircraft is now not feasible through one OEM. The need to use external design and build suppliers to ensure faster new product introduction is a key enabler. This extended design team poses significant problems for concurrent engineering particularly when defining the product in the early design phases. Collaborative tools need to be developed which enable designs to be shared and reviewed remotely. One such tool is the digital mock up that was used extensively in Airbus for the development of the A380 project. The digital mock up enables remote design houses to review their designs in context. However, to create a digital mock up suppliers need to be given a set of processes and tools which will reduce the barriers to concurrent engineering and enable effective sharing of design data.

Innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (iSMEs) play an increasingly important role for the economic development of Eastern European countries during the transition of a planned economy towards a market economy. As innovative firms tend to be exposed to higher levels of risk and uncertainty than the average firm, they need to permanently keep up with new market developments and dispose of the necessary management competencies to sustain their business. Within this paper, the authors present a project dedicated to the development of a Community of Practice (CoP) between iSME clusters in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Ekaterinburg. Its main intention is to enable iSMEs to share knowledge and experiences on subjects of common interest and thereby to enhance individual performance. Based on comparative research on management practices in Western Europe and Russia, a preliminary set of solutions has been identified for putting the CoP in place.

Organising for superior product development results remains a key challenge in today's competitive environment that places a strong premium on innovation. While the benefits of collaboration in or outsourcing of product development have been widely recognised, many models for organising product development are based on a single firm perspective or do not take well specifics of product development into account. Based on five cases of collaborative product innovation between OEMs and suppliers, this paper explores different models for organising for superior product performance depending on project and product characteristics: For well-contained components, the supplier should take clear responsibility for the project and product with the customer in a monitoring role and ensuring integration. For components requiring extensive application and technical domain knowledge, shared responsibility during the concept phase is preferable to allow balanced integration of different product aspects, while the responsibility should shift to the supplier in later project phases without the customer completely withdrawing from joint project work. In any model, role-related management capabilities of both customer and supplier are important drivers for success.

The paper proposes an ontology-based approach to implement E-Learning within a Collaborative Enterprise environment having a large base of applicability for engineering sciences. The approach is based on a new holistic model - the E-Learning Cube - conceived as tool for better understanding and characterization of the basic principles and mechanisms of E-Learning, for efficient use of the underlying infrastructure. The main components of a formal ontology are covered: conceptualization in the form of an abstract model, explicit definition through a vocabulary, formalization using the XML language and sharing ability in terms of capturing consensual knowledge.

If we examine the trends which are underlying the dynamics of inter-firm relationship, one can notice that trust is the permanent and stable key element to foster the implementation of cooperation. Due to market globalization and customized demands, business organizations and especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) are involved in cooperation processes which require more and more flexibility. One way to succeed is to improve the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to ease this adaptation. This paper aims to highlight the characteristics of trust building among partners inside networks of SME through ICT and has a specific focus on the concept of Professional Virtual Communities. PVC are considered as an emerging driving force integrating ICT as an enabler of trust inside networks of SME.

The brands which are positioned in tangible layer of extended products must be carefully created, developed and managed. Building a successful brand, whether for an EN or an extended product, requires strategic planning and a major investment. The Business Developers in EEs and the Opportunity Brokers and Support Institution Assistance Providers in NEs should have special brand managers to make their major brand strategic decisions like Brand positioning, Brand name selection, and Brand development. Key elements of branding strategies are brand equity, building strong brands and managing brands. Enterprise networks' sponsorship options are enterprise network's brand, B2B brand, licensing by TEs and EEs, cobranding between ENs. They need to periodically audit their brands' strengths and weaknesses.

This paper reports on the experiences and lessons learned from the implementation of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tool at MTU Aero Engines that addresses the increasing demand for richer and faster communication in product development and manufacturing both within one company and between different worldwide partners and locations in the aerospace industry. The requirements for the tool are outlined, the implementation approach is presented and the experiences and lessons learned are discussed from the collaborative engineering and manufacturing standpoints.

Most organizations today are required not only to establish effective business processes but they are required to accommodate for changing business conditions at an increasing rate. Many business processes extend beyond the boundary of the enterprise into the supply chain and the information infrastructure therefore is critical. Today nearly every business relies on their Enterprise System (ES) for process integration and the future generations of Enterprise Systems will increasingly be driven by business process models. Consequently process modelling and improvement will become vital for business process innovation (BPI) in future organizations. This paper explores the applicability of one particular methodology for Business Process Innovation to deal with the challenge that the LEGO organization is facing with the alignment of their product development process and their supply chain. The paper conclude that there is a potential for experimental learning using games as in the process design.

The European Union is a big common market for business, but this economic area exclude common field for the work force, with at least 25 unlinked systems for Vocational Education and Professional Training. This is a barrier to the development of European-wide concurrent enterprising. There are different attempts to define national and transnational frameworks for mutual trust in Vocational Training and Life-Long Learning for professionals. The project Embedding Standards, supported by Leonardo Program, try to demonstrate how we can use these frameworks in real context of trans-national mobility of trainees and employees, benefiting the training institutions and enterprises. This paper is focused on IT Project Coordinator profile, role, and training.
