The textbook and the video in this module discuss the value of effective collaborative networks but don't go into much detail in describing specifically what constitutes a collaborative network. In this assignment you are to write a 4 - 5 page research paper in current APA format on collaborative networks in which you develop a model for an effective global network supporting a distributed team. The paper should be structured as follows:
- Introduction/Overview: Describe the motivation for the paper, clearly stating the research you are conducting, and identify your reasons for choosing the particular papers you choose.
- Individually summarize each of the papers you chose in order to clearly communicate your research results.
- Outline the environment/requirements that shape the network you are going to propose.
- Propose a specific approach to creating a collaborative network that supports a globally distributed team engaged in airport construction in third world countries, being sure to include proper citations and references.
