Integration of Knowledge Management and Collaborative Commerce for Product Development Based on ASP

Considering the rapid progress of information technology (IT) and volatility of the marketing environment, the past concept that enterprises run the whole show, has become insufficient in an environment so volatile, challenging and competitive, demonstrating the need of up and downstream supply chain cooperation to survive. Following the maturity of internet related technology, a new industrial method – application service provider (ASP) came into being, providing enterprises with a new low cost solution, different from traditional methods such as buyouts and self-developed information systems. Therefore, this research uses ASP as its basis, and constructs a system prototype of the applied model of knowledge management and collaborative commerce (CC) integration.
