Abstract

With the development of Internet technologies and the massive popularity of COVID-19, employee engagement in collaboration through digital technologies is increasing rapidly, by focusing on the basic practices of virtual collaborative work in the publishing industry, this essay (1) identifies new problems faced by traditional hierarchies in virtual collaboration from the perspective of participatory collaboration and critically assesses these problems. (2) attempts to propose a methodological solution that supports the stimulation of more participant creativity to facilitate collaborative creative activity in book products. The focus is on how to build more efficient work hierarchies in virtual spaces, making them a replicable means of gaining the ability to apply them in real work and organizations.
