Cooperation

Cooperation is the act of individuals or organisations, working together at creating a common good, a shared asset beneficiary to all stakeholders, each contributing to the cooperation the resources necessary for obtaining the objective. Over time, trial and error has given an understanding of the problems of eBusiness implementation. Many of those problems require a collective effort of stakeholders, all in need for a common good for their own operations and benefit. If the effort involves many stakeholders, the chosen venue is often a standards or industry organisation that has specialised in managing the consensus building process. The initiative is with the stakeholders or the respective organisations, however the public authorities may adopt an active role in promoting such cooperation.
