Negotiation in collaborative manufacturing environments drive new ways to perform interoperability between industrial companies. The networks of SMEs are a novel segment in a highly competitive area, supported by numerous partners and applications which need to collaborate and to be interoperable. Particularly, the subcontracted small and medium enterprises (SMEs) need to be flexible towards the changes that are imposed by the major contractors, doing so at the lowest cost. This paper proposes a framework which advocates negotiations as a pillar mechanism to support innovation during the development of services in industrial collaborative working environments, and reflects the results of the European research project H2020 C2NET.

Service-oriented technologies drive new ways to perform interoperability between manufacturing companies. The aerospace segment is a highly competitive area, supported by numerous partners and applications which need to collaborate and to be interoperable.

The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of entrepreneurial   working environment on employee productivity among small and medium enterprises in Kitale town, Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to; examine    entrepreneurial working environment, establish employee productivity   and to find out the relationship between entrepreneurial working environment and employee productivity among small and medium enterprises in Kitale town. The study used  both descriptive, cross-sectional and correlation research designs. A total of 14 SME  hotels  with  a total of 92 regular employees were sampled   to participate in the study. The sampling method used was census since the population was small. The research instruments reliability test  had a cronbatch’s alpha value of  0.884 which was above the threshold. The results indicated that SMEs hotels have not embraced entrepreneurial working environments in their work places which will allow employees to be motivated to exploit their potential and improve on productivity. The study results also showed that employee productivity is low implying that they may not be achieving their set targets which affects performance of  SMEs hotels. The study results also revealed that there was a significant relationship between entrepreneurial working environment and employee productivity. The study recommendations were;the SMEs hotels are facing stiff competition from world class hotels, to remain relevant  and in productive operations, they should embrace creation of entrepreneurial environment where their employees will feel motivated  and valued. The SMEs hotels  should consider recruiting entrepreneurial human resources who will easily utilize their unique skills and talents to benefit the enterprises they work with and the  county government of Trans Nzoia  and national government should draft a policy to provide incentives to  SMEs hotels while operating in  uncertain business environments..

Abstract Field S located in offshore Malaysia had been producing for more than 30 years with nearly 90% of current active strings dependent on gas lift assistance. Subsurface challenges encountered in this matured field such as management of increasing water-cut, sand production, and depleting reservoir pressure are one of key factors that drive the asset team to continuously monitor the performance of gaslifted wells to ensure better control of production thereby meeting target deliverability of the field. Hence, Gas Lift Optimization (GLOP) campaign was embarked in Field S to accelerate short term production with integration of Gas Lift Management Modules in Integrated Operations (IO). A workflow was created to navigate asset team in this campaign from performing gaslift health check, diagnostic and troubleshooting to data and model validation until execution prior to identification of GLOP candidates with facilitation from digital workflows. Digital Fields and Integrated Operations (IO) developed in Field S provided an efficient collaborative working environment to monitor field performance real time and optimize production continuously. Digital Fields comprises of multiple engineering workflows developed and operationalized to act as enablers for the asset team to quickly identify the low-hanging fruit opportunities. This paper will focus on entire cycle process of digital workflows with engineer's intervention in data hygiene and model validation, the challenges to implement GLOP, and results from the campaign in Field S.

AbstractThis article by Karen Waldron describes the experiences of LexisNexis in implementing Agile as a framework in product development and across the organisation. It discusses the principles of Agile, the aims of LexisNexis of greater collaboration, quicker delivery of value to customers and continuous improvement, the main activities introduced, and the benefits experienced at LexisNexis as a result. It also discusses the applicability of Agile as a framework outside of software development, as the goals are common to most organisations, and sets out the view that incorporating simple agile activities into current working practices can have incremental and short term benefit for most teams.

<pre><em>This research is about observing the environment in managing Traditional Markets in Sumedang Regency. Problems involving external analysis are characterized by a lack of representation of facilities and infrastructure and limited storage of work documents, while internal analysis is characterized by assigning tasks to employees that are not based on the competencies of each employee. The theory used refers to the stages in strategic management that refer to one element of the four basic elements of strategic management, namely environmental observation. The method in this study uses a qualitative approach. The results showed that in the external analysis aspect carried out by the Department of Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises, Trade and Industry of Sumedang Regency, not yet fully able to analyze the external conditions, namely the work environment and social environment in the Cooperative, Small and Medium Enterprises, Trade and Industry Sumedang Regency is to be used as a strength or carrying capacity in the implementation of strategic management of Traditional Market management in Sumedang Regency, marked by facilities and infrastructure to support a limited working environment and social environment that still leaves social problems from the weak handling of garbage and placement of street vendors. While internal analysis on cultural aspects must be improved in terms of employee work discipline and human resource competencies must be improved according to work completion requirements.</em><em></em></pre>

Awareness Support

This chapter addresses awareness support to enhance teamwork in co-located collaborative environments. In particular, the authors focus on the concept of situational awareness which is essential for successful team collaboration. Mutual situational awareness leads to informal social interactions, development of shared working cultures which are essential aspects of maintaining working relationships. First, an overview of the studies on team coordination and situational awareness support is presented. Second, a collaborative working environment is described for scientific teams in a molecular biology omics experimentation domain. Then, the results of practical case studies are discussed, as well as situational awareness support for scientific teams in collaborative environments. Finally, the authors discuss practical challenges in design and evaluation of group support systems for collaborative working environments and our multi-level analysis approach. The chapter gives new insights into how shared displays support group awareness, and how to design and evaluate interactive systems and visualisations that afford awareness in order to stimulate existing and new forms of collaboration in advanced working environments.
