Collective intelligence in organizations: tools and studies

Abstract

In this special issue of CSCW researchers and designers can find an introduction to the new area of CI in organizations and four exemplary contributions on CIorg. Research and design on CIorg are still at a very early stage of development. This issue represents a small step in the direction of establishing a multidisciplinary science of CI in organizations, i.e., pointing to prior foundational work, proposing a research agenda and presenting exemplary contributions.
