“…Therefore, it is very important for enterprises to achieve the ability of satisfying emerging These kinds of enterprise structures are frequently referred to as "Extended Enterprises (EE). " Extended enterprise is referred to as "a wider system of enterprises" [9] that represents the holistic concept of enterprises alongside its internal components and external connectors including business partners, suppliers, imd customers [10]. From the same holistic perspective, an extended enterprise integrates all its processes, applications, people, and knowledge in pursuit of higher efficiency and effectiveness [11,12].…”

“…Some explained SoS from a structural perspective (Luskasik, 1998;Manthorpe, 1996) and others defined it by its characteristics (Maier, 1998;Bar-Yam, 2004;DeLaurentis, 2005;Boardman and Sauser, 2006). In a similar way extended enterprise is referred to as "a wider system of enterprises" (Boardman and Sauser, 2008) that represents the holistic concept of enterprises alongside its internal components and external connectors including business partners, suppliers and customers (Slade and Bokma, 2002). From the same holistic perspective, an extended enterprise integrates all its processes, applications, people and knowledge in pursuit of higher efficiency and effectiveness (Markus, 2000;Kosanke et al, 1999).…”

Problem statement: Agility of an enterprise system is considered as its ability to adapt successfully and efficiently to unexpected changes of the environment. Agility is key in effectiveness of enterprise systems and also it is crucial in gaining competitive advantage in global market. Approach: This is particularly true in the case of an Extended Enterprise System (EES), which represents a network of interconnected enterprises. Infrastructure systems such as transportation systems are generally considered examples of an EES. Results: The efficiency of an EES generally lies in its responsiveness to the change and the ability of all its constituents in working effectively in order to achieve a common objective. As a result, agility might prove to be a very important ingredient for an EES to thrive and sustain in todays highly complex and interrelated environment. The purpose of this study is to introduce an assessment method and a subsequent agility index to evaluate agility in a generic EES and utilize it to a selected part of the New York City transportation network. The proposed method in this research is essential for understanding the nature and quality of interaction among constituent systems and provides stakeholders with the knowledge that is necessary for agility management in an EES. The contribution of this study to the domain of management and systems science are twofold. Firstly, the proposed method is expected to be a prominent part of the available literatures on evaluating the agility of an EES. Secondly, it is applied to a transportation network case, which as an infrastructure system is considered to be a classic example of an EES. Conclusion: Findings of such research will be useful in developing network agility strategies from the governance perspective

“…Zhou & Nagi (2002) presented a distributed information system architecture using CORBA and STEP standards to overcome the heterogeneity of partners and promote standardization respectively for VE. In a research project partly funded by the European commission, Slade & Bokma (2002) discussed the application of an extensible ontology as a principle for integrated information, knowledge management and knowledge sharing among geographically distributed collaborators of an EE. However, they mainly focussed on sharing, organization, interrelation, and visualization of documents for team members.…”
