Review:
Collaboration and Communication
Kroenke (2009) discussed how to use collaboration to improve team communication.
Knowledge workers need to collaborate to manage content and support the decision making
processes in the organization. Further Kroenke (2009) described how structured decisions need
very little collaboration, but unstructured decisions required more collaboration. When
organizations take unstructured decisions, collaboration, giving feedback and iteration, is crucial
to the decision making process. Strategic decisions need a greater level of collaboration. Kroenke
(2009) forecasted that in 2020 that most employees will work at home and most of the
collaboration is going to be digitally.
Collaboration and Content Management
Google docs is a good collaboration tool to give teams control over content. Kroenke (2009)
explained that the success of information systems used to share content will depend on how
much control over the content is needed. Team collaboration without content control might
interfere with team members’ work and with the quality of the end product.
Collaboration and Workflow Control
Google docs as a collaboration tool offer team members workflow control. Kroenke (2009)
argued that when collaborating, teams can gain more control over the content if the collaboration
information system manages the workflow. Google docs offer sequential workflow, because
each user knows and have access to the collaboration in the same sequence that it occurs. Parallel
workflow occurs when the review occurs simultaneously. One way in which Google docs

To begin, Google documents is a free program to use. All the user needs to sign up is a gmail account, which is quick, easy, and also free. One major benefit is that the user is able to access their documents from any computer with an internet connection. This eliminates the need to carry a laptop, flash drive or external hard drive. The program does not require software downloads or installations. The program also allows the user to save their documents in a secure online storage facility and doesn’t bog down the computer’s storage space. This also means that if your computer were to crash, your documents wouldn’t be lost! The storage space allotted to each user is equal to about 100 pages. Google Docs enables multiple people in different locations to collaborate simultaneously on the same doc from any computer with internet access. Often, people email their documents for others to review, wait for them to reply and then make the necessary changes. Simultaneous collaboration cuts down the wait and work time. There is no longer a need to go back and forth, comparing and consolidating information. Google Documents is also user-friendly. It has similar capabilities offered by popular word processing programs like Microsoft Word. Most users don’t have to spend a ton of extra time learning about the program before creating a Google doc. The next slides will demonstrate some of the similarities between Google Documents and Microsoft Word. The purpose is to show that if one knows how to create a document in Word, they will have no problem creating a similar document in Google Docs. <br />Text: Why use Google Documents?- Heading Bulleted list of reasons followingGraphics: screenshot of Google Documents logoAnimation: noneInteraction/Activities: click mouse to advance to next screen<br />Slide 9<br />Narration: (normal voice) There are many basic similarities between Microsoft Word and Google Documents.
