“…Likewise, Bakos and Brynjolfsson (1993) employ property rights theory to explain the role of intangible assets in determining equilibrium ownership structures in IOS. Also, Kambil and Short (1994) offer a novel "roles-linkage" model to describe the expansion of participation by firms in the business network surrounding the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's electronic filing initiative.…”

“…IOS allow partners in a network to collaborate by exchanging both structured (e.g., CAD/CASE) data and unstructured (e.g., discussion) data stored in repositories (Kumar & van Dissel, 1996). Most IOS are implemented to facilitate collaboration and to manage potential conflict via electronic integration (Kumar & van Dissel, 1996;Volkoff, Chan, & Newson, 1999), thus enabling the expansion of a firm's business scope and the reengineering of interorganizational business processes (Kambil & Short, 1994).…”

This paper guides the theoretical development of future research on interorganizational systems (IOS). We first assess past IOS research by reviewing and summarizing the findings of 51 empirical studies of IOS published in 11 IS journals between 1990 and 2003. This literature addresses three primary issues: (1) factors influencing organizational decisions to adopt IOS; (2) the impact of IOS on governance over economic transactions; and (3) the organizational consequences of IOS adoption. From our assessment of the findings and theoretical approaches taken in past research, we offer three recommendations for future research. First, the theoretical foundations of IOS research during this period are diverse, representing 17 different yet complementary theories. We recommend that researchers continue to diversify their theoretical approaches in order to address new research challenges. Second, we recommend that IOS researchers move beyond mere descriptions of IOS artifacts by engaging with IOS artifacts on theoretical grounds. Third, we identify and describe new theoretical directions for future IOS research in each of the main issue areas.

“…As buyers and foreign growers implement and continue to innovate in developing alternate markets, they will, most likely, increasingly reshape the While there are a number of teaching and research cases on electronic markets, these are either unsuitable for generating new theories (Kambil and Short, 1994) or typically narrowly apply transactions cost or network externality models to emergent markets (Bakos, 1991b, Lee, 1996. While some of the analysis provides conditions for market adoption, they shed little light on why different actors failed to adopt new market forms.…”

“…The concept of roles was first discussed by Barley (1990), who wrote about the importance of role-based approaches in analyzing organizations at an individual level. Kambil and Short (1994) extended this concept to the organizational level, defining roles as technologically separable value-adding activities in a business network. They argued in favour of analyzing business networks on the basis of the roles and relationships between the players involved.…”

Mobile business models: organizational and financial design issues that matter

Designing viable mobile services and business models that capture value for all the organizations involved is a challenge. There are many design issues that can be taken into account, and it is often unclear what their ultimate effect is on the performance of a business model. This paper offers a framework for relating critical design issues to success factors and tests the causal relationship between these core concepts in the organizational and financial domain of mobile business models, based on an international survey among 120 practitioners and experts in the mobile Internet services domain, most of them from EU countries. According to our findings, addressing organizational design issues (i.e. partner selection, governance and relation management) leads to an acceptable division of roles among actors, while addressing financial design issues (i.e., pricing, division of investments and costs among partners) results in risk levels that are perceived to be acceptable. The level of profitability that is perceived to be acceptable is influenced indirectly by these design issues, because the relationships are mediated through the risk level that the actors involved perceive to be acceptable and through the way the roles are divided among the actors.
