PROVE’10 Special Session
Modelling and Managing Competences in Collaborative Networks

Scope

Competence issues have been definitively recognized as both strategic and
tactical factors to develop inter-enterprise or inter-individual
collaborations. The scope of the session covers any type of collaborative
network, where the competence factor plays a significant role. At a
strategic level of enterprise management, organisational competence analysis
is required to take coherent decisions on firm alliances; but at a tactical
level, firms’ competence descriptions can also be at the heart of a
competence management system providing concrete support to the
implementation and deployment of specific collaboration opportunities. The
scientific literature has developed complementary points of views on
competence, used to support coordination or collaboration: (i) various
management levels, as mentioned just above; but also, (ii) different
granularity levels in competence description (firm collective competences
versus individual competences); or, (iii) distinct types of scientific
approaches (e.g. quantitative versus qualitative approaches of competence
modelling and management). The objective of the session(s) is to contribute
to an international state of the art about competence management in
collaborative networks and organisations.
