115. A Social-Network-Based Intelligent Collaborative Decision Model with Larger Group Consensus Requirements for Collaborative B2B E-commerce

Collaborative decision technologies are crucial to support the growing complexity and diversity of the collaborative B2B e-commerce with larger group consensus requirements. The predefined group consensus is reached through several discussion rounds in a classic group decision-making by consensus models. However, the existing consensus models for the group decision with a low number of groups may not be the most appropriate approach to the collaborative decision with larger groups in collaborative B2B e-commerce context. In this paper, we present a social-network-based intelligent collaborative decision model with larger group consensus requirements for collaborative B2B e-commerce, which automates and supports the collaborative decision consensus-reaching processes. Finally, an example of the notebook on-line selling process is illustrated.
