“…This was accomplished by the definition of the NetChallenge Methodology, which defines the relevant concepts, high level activities and guidelines that support collaboration in non-hierarchical business networks, aiming at the development of high-variety and low-volume businesses, related with complex products design and manufacturing Carneiro et al, 2013). This was later conveyed to and exploited on an ICT web-based platform, the Net-Challenge Platform, responsible for supporting most of the Net-Challenge proposed collaboration processes.…”

“…Business networking is not new and many companies are already practicing it to gain competitiveness. However, ICT, and especially business network applications, has now emerged as an enabler for business integration, both in vertical integration with customers and horizontal integration with competitors (Rabelo, 2008;Carneiro et al, 2013).…”

“…These CNs allow companies and organizations to share risks and benefits [38], representing also important sources of information and knowledge [34]. Interactions and collaborative processes in CNs are most of the times supported and mediated by information and communication technologies [39] and differ from other network forms (supply chains, virtual enterprises, clusters, etc.). This because collaboration is "an intentional property that derives from the shared belief that together the network members can achieve goals that would not be possible or would have a higher cost if attempted by them individually."…”

A rigorous evaluation of an artifact is one of the fundamental aspects to be considered in Design Science Research projects. This evaluation part becomes even more difficult when a large variety of artifacts must be designed for a project. This can be a challenge for the field of Collaborative Networks, which involves knowledge from several scientific disciplines. Case studies are one of the evaluation methods in Design Science Research that are used for an ex-post evaluation of artifacts. However, we argue that this method can also be used for the ex-ante evaluation, mainly when multidisciplinary research is being carried out. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to present and discuss a multidisciplinary project of Collaborative Networks using case studies before and after the design of the artifacts. On top of the Design Science Research guidelines, this research is supported by knowledge from Business and Management Studies on how to effectively design and perform Case Study Research for artifact evaluation.

“…The widespread concept of collaboration means "to work together towards a common goal" and involves mutual engagement of participants to solve problems in a process of sharing risks, resources, responsibilities and rewards [17]. In a context of interorganizational networks, collaboration is considered as the process where two or more organizations perform tasks together to obtain collective results [18]. Therefore, in a collaboration process, autonomous actors interact with each other through formal and informal negotiations, creating together rules and structures to govern their relationships, as well as to define how they will act and make collaborative decisions [18].…”

Knowledge management practices are used in collaborative networks promoting innovation in order to share critical knowledge among network members towards improving organizational results. This paper proposes to explore the channels and practices for knowledge sharing in collaborative networks, by means of an exploratory multiple case study carried out in two types of collaborative networks: (i) industrial associations; and (ii) science and technology parks. Empirical evidence has been collected from interviews with managers of the collaborative networks and of organizations participating in the collaborative networks. The contribution of this paper to the knowledge management literature is twofold: (i) it provides a characterization of the channels and technology used for knowledge sharing in collaborative networks based on empirical evidence and (ii) it describes knowledge sharing practices used among organizations to foster new forms of connectivity between groups and individuals.
