Abstract :
This paper presents the findings of three recent research projects carried out at the University of Strathclyde. Two of the projects, ICON (Institutional Collaboration Over Networks) and ICON2 investigated the usage of CSCW tools by disparate engineering design students whilst, a Design Council funded research project investigated the introduction and usage of shared workspace technology within the design process of three companies and their supply chain. This is followed by a comparative reflection of the results allowing identification of generic findings together with opportunities for cross-sectoral lessons
