“…Many researchers have used the framework of RBV (Resource-based view) to assert the contribution of IOS as an infrastructure and strategic resource that can provide greater scope for organizations to exploit their individual capabilities (Barney 2002;Borman 2006) such as strengthening the inter-firm relationship. IOS influences relationship strength because it can be a determinant of the level of trust, commitment and interdependence of supply chain partners (Ali, Kurnia, and Johnston 2007).…”

This study examines supply chain structures and inter-organizational relationship factors that influence the supply chain performance in the Australian beef industry. It investigated the extent to which aggregated relationship strength is a source of supply chain performance for the industry. The effect of antecedent factors such as vertical coordination, negotiation power and the use of IOS in the relationship strength were also investigated. Data were collected through a telephone survey in 315 firms including input suppliers, producers, processors and retailers in the beef industry of Western Australia and Queensland. The results support both the direction of theoretical underpinnings from RBV and TCE in the beef industry, that durable buyer-supplier relationships in the supply chain are developed from the level of commitment and trust, interdependence and mutual investment and can be a strategic economic resource to by-pass the cost of traditional market transactions. Results suggest the following key success factors for the beef industry in Australia: (a) the operational adoption of a lean supply chain between producer and processors or processors and retailers; (b) a transparent interdependent relationship with a strong consolidation/integration of business activities; and (c) synchronized information flows for greater compliance with carcass specifications in the supply chain.

“…Practically, it may be more efficient that all participants in a certain industry share a common system and increase the benefits of network externalities (Shapiro & Varian, 1999;Zhu, Kraemer, Gurbaxani, & Xu, 2006). However, from a strategic perspective, there can be a value paradox of IOS: organizations join IOS initiatives although it seems to weaken their competitive position (Borman, 2006). One possible explanation is that they may be compelled to do so by powerful initiators, e.g., an influential retailer requires its suppliers to adopt a certain system.…”

Overcoming the Challenge of Cooperating with Competitors: Critical Success Factors of Interorganizational Systems Implementation

The growing phenomenon of competitors that use a common interorganizational system (IOS) raises challenging strategic and organizational issues. Sometimes organizations join IOS initiatives although it seems to weaken their competitive position. This paper analyzes, in retrospect, the fully automated Tel-Aviv Continuous Trading system (TACT) implemented by the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) and its members, about a decade after its inauguration. It examines TACT's organizational feasibility and its critical success factors, using the Theory of Constraints (TOC) as a theoretical basis. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of one system, including the point of view of both the initiator (TASE) and the participants (TASE members). TACT's implementation complexity was further escalated since all users had to convert to it simultaneously. Therefore, intensive cooperation was required, especially between Israel's five largest banks, which had seemingly faced a value paradox of IOS, since TACT was supposed to undermine their competitive position by reducing customer lock-in. This study contributes to the informing science transdiscipline by extending its applicability to interorganizational contexts, and by introducing the Theory of Constraints as an effective analysis tool that can be integrated within the informing science framework. It emphasizes the importance of a neutral managing intermediary, provides guidelines for successful IOS implementation, and suggests that the main critical success factor is information systems management skills.

“…Information interoperability again plays an important role in supporting the sharing and dissemination of information. Standards of data vocabulary and XML messages may leverage information quality and quantity, in addition to strengthened inter-organizational response management systems (Borman 2006;Mendling and Nuttgens 2006).…”

Design principles for critical incident response systems

The national incident management system (NIMS) was developed so that responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines could work together to respond to natural and manmade disasters and emergencies, including acts of terrorism. The NIMS document provides a set of guidelines about practices but it does not make explicit the design requirements for information systems to support the management of critical incidents. Though there are academic and practitioner papers in the general area of emergency management, there is a lacuna of literature discussing how to design information systems to support critical incident response. In this paper we develop a set of design principles that are grounded in emergency management concepts and also in the insights from the real response managers in the Western New York area. The set of design principles provide a foundation for the development of critical incident response systems.
