Abstract
The advance in collaborative communication media has allowed people to communicate and exchange information. The success of collaborative communication technologies depends upon how people use them. This paper develops a theoretical extension on individuals ’ beliefs and intentions in the usage of collaborative electronic media. The paper addresses crucial factors that are related to predicting collaborative electronic media usage for information sharing: technology competence and social ties.
