Track: *IT Strategy and Management**<br>
*Minitrack: <span style=""> </span>*Web 2.0 and collaborative
value creation<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style=""> </span>**<br style="">
<br style="">
</p>
<p class="Default"><span style=""> </span><b>Motivation </b></p>
<p class="Default">Web 2.0 refers to the adoption of open technologies and
architectural frameworks to facilitate participative computing. Web 2.0 is
about harnessing the potential of the Internet in a more collaborative and
peer-to-peer manner with emphasis on social interaction. It has less to do with
technology and more to do with a metamorphosis aimed at facilitating
collaborative participation and leveraging the collective intelligence of
peers. </p>
<p class="Default"> </p>
<p class="Default">Customer and partner facing processes using Web 2.0 have the
potential to not only radically transform peer-to-peer collaboration, but also
inter-entity collaborations and commerce by enabling various types and
combinations of business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B),
Consumer-to-consumer (C2C), business-to-government etc. collaboration and
commerce. Indeed, Web 2.0 has the potential to enable collaborative value
creation across business partners. These could, for example, include scenarios
such as Rich Internet Applications (RIA) based delivery tracking system
leveraging Web 2.0 standards for desktop-like rich functionality on client side
within a web page. There are opportunities such as providing rich information
on all the convergent services subscribed to by a consumer (including third
party services) leveraging Web 2.0 standards which could be achieved through
the use of Mashups based on content from multiple sources (exposed using APIS,
Web Feeds, Web Services etc.) to create new services. These could even be
multi-channel mashups or RSS feeds. In particular, the interplay between the
emerging Web 2.0 paradigm and the already popular paradigm of SOA seems to be
of special interest owing to the complementarities of the two schools of
thought. While Web 2.0 can offer an intelligent, rich, customizable, and
interactive service consumer base for a service provider, SOA can offer the
standardized conduit for the enterprise information and data to be consumed by
Web 2.0 applications. </p>
