The origins of collaborative work ....While project collaboration may be somewhat of a trend, it’s definitely not new. Antiquity and the Middle Ages have seen organizations develop based on collaboration and cooperation. Diderot and the scholars of the Enlightenment period also illustrate this idea of ​​collaborative work during the creation of the "Encyclopédie” between 1751 and 1772, where writers and scholars combined their knowledge. Collaborative work is becoming increasingly relevant. It’s a way of working with many people through information technology. Tasks are carried out with a common goal and activities are carried out via collaboration rather than by distribution.
