For small firms, knowledge leakage, loss and theft are counted among the greatest risks in inter-firm collaborations. SMEs are more vulnerable, because they suffer from a number of structural disadvantages when collaborating with larger companies, and yet, they need to collaborate with external partners to overcome their lack of resources.Therefore, this study investigates how SMEs can most effectively protect critical knowledge in collaborations with external partners, for that they can prevent knowledge loss, leakage and theft, while maximizing the performance of the collaboration.This book derives valuable insights for practice and theory through a comprehensive review of existing literature and a collection and analysis of experiences from Germany’s most innovative and successful SMEs.
Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, grade: 1/20 (Bestnote), ( Middlesex University in London ), language: English, abstract: The following report will give an introduction to WAP, its programming model, the architecture, services and peculiarities in comparison to the World Wide Web. WAP's features are evaluated and especially security, usability, performance and quality-of-service issues are reviewed. Based upon the WAP introduction and its major findings, an analysis and design has been made for a concrete WAP application. This application serves as an information system for transportation systems and allows users to be kept up-to-date on actual maintenance, breakdowns and malfunctions in a transportation network. Functional and non-functional requirements, use-cases, activities, the database scheme, deployment and realization requirements of the proposed project will be discussed. Finally, the report will conclude with an evaluation of the project and a discussion about possible extensions and further work.

A few years later, I found myself, thanks to fellowships from Fulbright-Hays and t...
