Talk:Collaborative computing/Cooperative work

This definition of cooperative work puts too much emphasis on the existence of a "shared goal" and ignores the importance of the mutual interdependence of the actors. See e.g. Schmidt, K. (1994). Modes and Mechanisms of Interaction in Cooperative Work. In general, it is problematic to assume that people who cooperate in their work have a "shared goal". --130.225.99.223 08:47, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
