Industriella kluster Hur kan IT förbättra kommunikationen inom Industriella kluster?

Abstract

This study in Informatics was performed during fall-semester 2001, at The University of Gothenburg. The purpose with this report is to perform a case studie regarding ITbased systems and how they can improve communication between the companies involved in a network called ?Industrial Cluster?. The delimitation is made to a technical perspective. The Case studie indicates that an introduction of IT-based communicationsystems gives a good complement to other communications channels, and facilitates communication in a broader perspective.
