Abstract

According to Vygotskian theory, individuals develop within particular cultural groups. Then, as adults, they are likely to integrate in work groups with features similar to their original formative group. The Internet has revolutionised social organisation and business patterns to bring forth collaboration as a major asset. Our study draws on theories of collaboration-based learning originally developed by Lev Vygotsky and aims to extrapolate them to the business environment. Based on Vygotskian theory and on the stakeholders’ interest influence matrix, we will design a method of developing work groups within a company by means of Web 2.0 technologies. By means of statistical analysis, we will determine the optimum configuration for grouping interested stakeholders. Finally, we will set up a mathematical model for organising the required relationships for the correct functioning of a work group that uses Web 2.0 tools to build relationships.
