What is Extreme Collaboration

Large advances and rapid changes in informatics, telecommunication, and groupware technologies added to rapid increases in information spread, knowledge sharing, and communication speed, enable people/ groups/organizations feel “closer” to each other, not only by belonging to this “small wired village” but also by sharing virtually and almost permanently huge amounts of data and information; time and distance scales shrunk. Therefore, new forms of organizations are emerging to collaborate at international levels more effectively and efficiently. The networked organization and the virtual ones are such examples.
