Interorganisational Information Systems: issues affecting interorganisational cooperation
Advances in the use of interorganisational information systems (IOS) entail greater interdependence between, and deeper systems penetration into, organisations. The success of IOS will depend more on trust and cooperation between organisations, but these are problematic in interorganisational relations (IOR). Moreover, there are different types of IOR, and their varying characteristics are likely to have different effects on cooperation and IOS use between organisations. A framework for IOR analysis and a typology of IOR are combined to identify important differences between IOR and suggest implications for IOS. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
