DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fbe9bc/42_rules_for_succe) has
announced the addition of the "42 Rules for Successful Collaboration - A
Practical approach to Working with People, Processes and Technology" report to
their offering.

Whether you are a 5-person team or a 50,000 person company some of the same
rules for successful collaboration apply. The more you share what you know the
more it is worth; understanding a person's local context is more critical to
successful collaboration than any technology you may use. Based on years of
research, an encyclopedic knowledge of collaborative technologies, and a
realization that collaboration is hard to do successfully, Mr. Coleman provides
a holistic view on collaboration and through a variety of contributions from his
social networks, others have contributed their best rules for collaboration
based on their experience. The holistic approach (People, Process and
Technology) is the organizing principle for the book and each rule can be found
in the appropriate section. Managers, CEOs, Venture Capitalists, or anyone that
has to work with other people at a distance every day can get great benefit from
this book.

Readers of this book will walk away with a much better idea how to be successful
in their interactions with others via the computer. It will help people who are
on teams separated geographically, as well as managers and executives. The book
filled with high-tech nuggets of wisdom for programmers and IT professionals.
