“…This was expected when looking at the existing IOS literature.A lot of scholars examined the factors influencing the organizational decisions to adopt IOS (Robey et al 2008;Jeyaraj et al 2006). Most research on IOS adoption is based on the theory of diffusion of innovations of Rogers (1995Rogers ( -2003.…”

Abstract. Governments around the world identify the advancement of electronic invoicing in businesses as crucial for tackling administrative burdens. This paper examines, for the first time, the potential cost savings of e-invoicing in Belgium. Our analysis shows that the total cost of invoicing for Belgian private sector businesses in 2014 amounted to €3.47 billion (0.96% of GDP) and could be reduced to €1.46 billion (0.38% of GDP) if all invoices were sent digitally. Furthermore, an analysis of both barriers and enablers of e-invoicing reveals significant concerns that remain regarding the safety of e-invoicing, although a majority of private sector businesses clearly identifies the potential efficiency gains. From our contingent valuation survey among 683 Belgian businesses, we learn that the average willingness to pay (WTP) for the required investments for implementing digital invoicing amounts to €2,380. However, the potential annual cost savings of digital invoicing for the average small business in our sample is over €7,000. Additionally, our linear regression models indicate that the WTP is positively impacted by the perceived time and reduced risk gains of digital invoicing.

“…However, given the complexity in international trade and logistics, all parties (and thus potential 'sponsors') also depend on supply chain partners to realise the expected or intended benefits by introducing, supporting or otherwise sponsoring the system. Therefore, the adoption of an IOS, and the factors influencing adoption, is a key research topic [15,16]. In studying the factors that influence the adoption of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as a form of IOS, Chwelos et al [16] seek for factors at three levels; the technology, the organisation and the inter-organisational level.…”

Abstract.One of the key challenges that governments face in supervising international supply chains is the need for improving the quality of data accompanying the logistics flow. In many supply chains, individual parties in the chain work with low quality data for their operations and compliance, even though somewhere in the supply chain, better data is available. In the European CASSANDRA project, ICT-supported information infrastructures are developed to exchange data between businesses and government, to support visibility on the supply chain and the re-use of information. However, to gain better data, actors need to be open about their operations, processes and systems to parties that are geographically and culturally on the other side of the world. This adds (perceived) vulnerabilities for parties already operating in a highly competitive environment. This could be a major barrier for making the innovation work. We argue that Living Labs, as a collaborative innovation approach, are able to support the adoption of innovative information infrastructures. They help identifying gains that innovations may bring. Furthermore, the trust-based setting also mitigates the added (perceived) vulnerability such innovations bring for the participants. We illustrate this by examples from the CASSANDRA Living Labs.

“…IOS are information systems that in some sense cross organizational boundaries and are shared by two or more organizations (Robey et al, 2008); i.e., IT systems that support B2B, G2B or G2G interaction. IOS are used to support IO interaction and, e.g., coordination between organizations.…”

“…Inter-organizational information systems (IOS) have been on the research agenda for almost 30 years (Goodhue et al, 1992;Cavaye and Cragg, 1995;Kumar and van Dissel, 1996;Robey et al, 2008). IOS have been identified as a key requirement for effective operation of IO relationships (Brue et al, 2002;Daniel and White, 2005) and have several impacts on governance, e.g., on a market level and an organizational level (Robey et al, 2008).…”

Inter-organizational Interaction in Public and Private Sectors -A Comparative Study 1Purpose -This article compares inter-organizational (IO) interaction and inter-organizational information systems (IOS) to support IO interaction in public and private sectors. The purpose of the article is to explore and discuss differences and similarities between e-government and e-business focusing IOS and interaction. This is done in order to facilitate learning between the two fields. The point of departure is two case studies performed in private and public sectors.Design/Methodology/Approach -A comparative study of two cases in two sectors (private and public) is conducted. IO concepts from industrial markets that characterize an IO relationship (continuity, complexity, symmetry, and formality) and concepts that describe dimensions of such relationships (links, bonds, and ties) are used as analytical lenses. The empirical case study data, mainly generated from interviews, has been analyzed in a qualitative, interpretive way, using these central IO concepts from industrial markets (The IMP approach). This approach is in line with a strategy to use theory as a part of an iterative process of data collection and analysis.Findings -The findings in the present study show that there are several similarities concerning interaction in relations between organizations in the two sectors. There are also differences depending on the level of analysis (empirical level vs. analytical level). The study shows the need to be explicit regarding organizational value, endcustomer or client/citizen value and the type of objects that are exchanged in the interaction. This is presented in the article together with suggested refinements of the analytical framework used for understanding IO interaction. The latter finding is a contribution to the general field of interaction and network studies and also a contribution to the e-government field.Research limitations/implications -This research provides understanding of similarities and differences in the two sectors when analyzing IO interaction and IOS. The study also illustrates a systematic way of analyzing and comparing IO interaction and IOS use in different sectors. However, it is also urgent to learn more about IO interaction between a private and a public organization and how it would be beneficial for understanding both sectors. The issue of trust is an important aspect that is embedded in the IMP approach used in this article. Further understanding of IO interaction can be reached by applying research focused on trust as such. Thus, the findings call for more studies in the area of inter-sector learning, IO interaction and e.g. trust.Practical implications -This article is a point of departure to facilitate learning between the public and the private sectors focusing on IO relations and IOS. Learning between the two sectors is needed for researchers in the two areas as well as policy makers and practitioners developing e.g. e-government interaction and IOS.Originality/value -There are fe...
