Some of the existing problems associated with collaborative processes among networked SMEs are reminded in this paper. Amongst the collaborative problems we have focused on share profits and costs problem due to it is a relevant problem to achieve collaboration in decentralized networks and it has not been satisfactory solved in NHN context.
