* Comprehensive reviews of previous studies on e-collaboration technologies
in organizations.
* Theoretical models explaining behavior toward e-collaboration
technologies.
* Analyses of different research methods and their impact on the study of
e-collaboration technologies in organizations.
* Design, implementation, and assessment of e-business solutions.
* E-collaboration technologies impact on knowledge management and
organizational learning.
* E-collaboration technologies support for quality certification programs.
* E-collaboration technologies support for distributed process
reengineering and process improvement.
* Design and evaluation of "intelligent" e-collaboration technologies in
