Rediscovering Impacts of Collaboration Through Workflow Analysis to Value Service Development

Information and service economies are developing rapidly in recent years with the development of information technology and new applications. Software and service development are becoming more and more complex relating to different participants, organizations and alliances. This phenomenon has caused urgent requirements on economic and technical fusion through coordination and collaboration among stakeholders. This paper addresses the gap between business layer and technical development in roles and activities. We then propose a combination of economic value and profits and technical service development processes. We also consider value exchange under profit sharing contracts in participants' workflows. A simulation and an experiment are performed to show related impacts.
