Abstract

The rapid advancement of new technologies has resulted in greater opportunities in innovation, new product development partnerships/collaborations and international trade. Today’s social networking and ‘open innovation’ information communications technology has enabled work distribution to become more efficient and has presented organisations with a new way of working across different geographical locations.
