“While many studies focus on cooperation in computer-mediated work groups, these studies often focus on the role of technology in supporting some unexplored construct of collaboration.
This article attempts to flesh out that construct, by providing rich insights into how members of a group that spans various professional communities of practice collaborate in jointly constructing a socio-technical artifact—a knowledge management system—within its context of application.”
