“…IT is believed to have a favorable impact on value creation by establishing linkages with trading partners, customers, and suppliers (Soroor et al 2009), resulting in better products, higher quality, enhanced equipment utilization, reduced resource needs, and increased flexibility (Kim and Narasimhan 2002). Aggregated at the macro level, IT should have a positive effect on the production output of an economy (Jorgenson, 2001).…”

The impacts of information technology (IT) on total factor productivity (TFP) are assessed through an integrative framework of IT-induced externalities and IT-leveraged innovations. Based on network externalities and endogenous growth theory, our study aims to reconcile the seeming discrepancy between the recent observed evidence and the prediction by neoclassical growth theory. We argue that computerization has reshaped the competitive landscape into a network economy with IT-induced externalities that benefit not only IT purchasers but also other stakeholders. Moreover, IT is a platform technology that can leverage innovations to enhance the technological level of production process. Consequently, these two factors of IT-induced externalities and IT-leveraged innovations exert positive impacts on TFP, suggesting IT plays a more pivotal role than input consumption and accumulation that neoclassical growth theory assumes for IT. We use panel data from 30 Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries over the period of 2000 to 2009 to empirically test hypotheses on this IT-TFP link. Implications are drawn from our findings for future research to measure IT's contributions at the macro level more accurately, and policymakers are urged to cultivate IT's positive impacts on TFP to help sustain long-term economic growth.

“…MASs can be viewed as an improvement of artificial intelligence, in order to realise autonomous computational systems (Soroor 2005b). Autonomy is the main characteristic describing an agent, being the ability to carry out a task and reach its objectives without human, or any other, assistance (Soroor et al 2009a). Principally, each agent has properties such as autonomy, rationality, sociability, mobility and reactivity.…”

The most critical issues in devising an agent-based evaluation engine have been comprehensively discussed here; at first, an autonomous real-time supply chain coordination system is introduced. Next, the configuration of an evaluation agent and its assessment engine are explained. The main idea is the smart module to be applied by the evaluation agent to pick the best supplier bid(s). This hybrid model is composed of three useful tools: fuzzy logic, analytical hierarchical process and quality function deployment and works without human intervention. The approach has been carefully implemented and verified via a real-world case study in a medium-to-large industry manufacturing vehicle tires and other rubber products. A collection of 12 assessment criteria classified in two categories have been considered. Eight factors are derived from customer suggestions and the other four are design specifications required to manufacture the product. The most important advantages of this study over earlier researches on supplier selection are implementation of an autonomous assessment mechanism using intelligent agents for the first time, making the best out of three widely applied methodologies all at once, evaluation process mainly based on features of customer order, coordination of supply job based on a bidding system and portal-mediated operation and control.

“…SCM information system is prepared to give necessary information to help the strategy, operations, management analysis, and decision-making functions. It also gives high quality, relevant and on time information flow that efficiently supports decision-making for inventory replenishment, capacity activation, and for enhancing material flows at all levels within the supply chain (Soroor et al, 2009). The use of Internet, Intranet, Extranet and EDI helps to have competitive advantage for the organization.…”
