risk analysis in Extended Enterprise environments identification of critical risk factors in b2b e commerce relationships
Journal of the Association for Information Systems, 2008Co-Authors: Steve G. Sutton, Clark Hampton, Deepak Khazanchi, Vicky ArnoldAbstract:The focus of this study is to identify the critical risk factors that can be used to assess the impact of B2B e-commerce on overall Enterprise risk. The Khazanchi and Sutton (2001) framework for B2B e-commerce assurance is applied as the organizing conceptual model for the study. The framework focuses on three primary risk components: (1) technical risks, (2) application-user risks, and (3) business risks. To identify a critical set of B2B risk factors, structured focus groups applying a nominal group technique were conducted with three internal constituency groups (corporate groups consisting of IS security, internal IT audit, and e-commerce development managers) and two external constituency groups (e-commerce consultants and external IT auditors). Tests of consistency between the groups confirm strong agreement on the identified critical B2B risk factors. Tests were also conducted on participant groups' perceived relative importance of the critical B2B risk factors. The only substantial inconsistencies were between the internal constituency groups versus e-commerce consultants' group for the business risk factors. This would appear to indicate that the priorities of internal groups might be different from the e-commerce consultants who appear more focused on management support of projects than necessarily on active involvement of trading partner staff with systems integration. Subsequent testing of the three component B2B risk assurance model with a follow-up questionnaire suggests that the identified risk factors support the model, including theorized interrelationships among the three risk components.

Extended Enterprise systems impact on Enterprise risk management
Journal of Enterprise Information Management, 2006Co-Authors: Steve G. SuttonAbstract:Purpose – This article aims to focus on raising awareness of the limitations of traditional “Enterprise‐centric” views of Enterprise risk management that ignore the risks that are inherited from key business and supply chain partners. In essence, Enterprise systems implementations have allowed organizations to couple their operations more tightly with other business partners, particularly in the area of supply chain management, and in the process Enterprise systems applications are redefining the boundaries of the entity in terms of risk management concerns and the scope of financial audits. Design/methodology/approach – The prior literature that has begun to explore aspects of assessing key risk components in these relationships is reviewed with an eye to highlighting the limitations of what is understood about risk in interorganizational relationships. This analysis of the prior research establishes the basis for the logical formation of a framework for future Enterprise risk management research in the area of e‐commerce relationships. Findings – Conclusions focus on the overall framework of risks that should be considered when interorganizational relationships are critical to an Enterprise's operations and advocate an “Extended‐Enterprise” view of Enterprise risk management. Research limitations/implications – The framework introduced in this paper provides guidance for future research in the area of interorganizational systems control and risk assessment. Practical implications – The framework further highlights areas of risk that auditors and corporate risk managers should consider in assessing the risk inherited through interorganizational relationships. Originality/value – The paper highlights the need to shift from an Enterprise‐centric view of risk management to an Extended‐Enterprise risk management view.

Risk assessment in an Extended Enterprise environment: redefining the audit model
International Journal of Accounting Information Systems, 2003Co-Authors: Steve G. Sutton, Clark HamptonAbstract:Abstract The complexity of contemporary business organizations has caused the audit profession to radically alter their audit processes over the past decade. In short, a broader view of an audit as assessing business risk has led the profession to alter its procedures in accordance with this vision. One of the key issues that has not been addressed, however, is the impact of e-business partnerships, outsourcing and co-sourcing relationships, and co-dependence with business partners on the extending of the business risk faced by a client. In an Extended Enterprise environment where a client organization now inherits significantly greater risk from business partners, auditors need to better understand the implications of these relationships and devise the means by which to reasonably assess business risk across the Extended Enterprise. This paper focuses on the e-business component of the Extended Enterprise and provides a synopsis of key issues researchers need to examine in providing leadership to the profession in formulating such a redefined audit model.

cyber supply chain risk management revolutionizing the strategic control of critical it systems
Technovation, 2014Co-Authors: Sandor BoysonAbstract:Abstract Cyber supply chain risk management (CSCRM) is a new discipline designed to help IT executives address the challenges of the rapid globalization and outsourced diffusion of hardware and software systems. CSCRM is an integrative discipline combining elements of cybersecurity, supply chain management, and Enterprise risk management into a new and powerful concept to exert strategic control over the end-to-end processes of the focal organization and its Extended Enterprise partners. This article provides a survey of the field, as well as a detailed analysis of the results of a four-year research project on CSCRM, conducted by the Robert H. Smith School of Business Supply Chain Management Center for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, that focused on the development of organizational assessment tools and a capability/maturity model for this emerging discipline.

enabling it for mass customisation the it architecture to support an Extended Enterprise offering mass customised products
International Journal of Mass Customisation, 2006Co-Authors: Joachim Warschat, Mehmet Kurumluoglu, Rita NostdalAbstract:The transformation from mass-produced to mass-customised goods is challenging. Such a radical change in the product nature forces a revision of the processes and supporting Information Technology (IT) systems within an 'Extended Mass Customising Enterprise'. Based on the processes for marketing, sales, design, production and distribution, an IT architecture in connection with all required IT systems and their specifications will be presented. Finally, a case study including the composition of standard business software tools to support the above-mentioned processes of an 'Extended Mass Customising Enterprise' will be presented.

supporting the entire life cycle of the Extended manufacturing Enterprise
Robotics and Computer-integrated Manufacturing, 2017Co-Authors: Americo Azevedo, Jose Faria, Filipe FerreiraAbstract:This paper presents a framework to support the full life-cycle of Extended manufacturing Enterprises, from creation to operation and dissolution phases. The deployment and operation of such Enterprises can be compared with the concept of 'plug-and-play', as the internal processes and legacy systems of the companies involved are smoothly integrated within an overall business process designed, validated and executed according to a specific business opportunity. During the plug phase, the specific business requirements are elicited and integrated with the design of the Extended business processes. On the other hand, in the play phase, those predefined processes are executed in order to run the Extended Enterprise successfully. The paper describes an application case regarding an engineer-to-order and one-of-a-kind engineering product. This scenario is common to a large number of technology-driven SMEs, and illustrates the value of the framework to exploit business opportunities that require a combination of skills and resources that do not exist in-house. The case shows how the platform addresses the two main challenges in the deployment of an Extended Enterprise. The first challenge is finding the right set of partners to address a new business opportunity and the design of the underlying collaborative processes. The second challenge is mostly technical, and focuses on the integration of the legacy systems of the partners participating in the network so that cooperation can take place quickly and seamlessly. This paper presents a framework to support the full lifecycle of Extended manufacturing Enterprises developed in the scope of large trans-national European project.In this research project, several emerging technologies were explored such as Cloud and SOA manufacturing and internet-of-things applied in complex distributed manufacturing environments.The main result of the project was the framework presented in the paper was full demonstrated against several real manufacturing cases. One of those cases address the one-of-kind manufacturing environment and is described in the paper.It is important to highlight that the framework addresses two main challenges in the deployment of an Extended Enterprise. The first challenge addresses the finding of the right set of partners to address a new business opportunity and the design of the underlying collaborative processes. The second one is mostly technical and stays on the integration of the legacy systems of the partners participating in the network so that cooperation can take place quickly and seamlessly.To our best knowledge this is the first framework covering both technical and business challenges.
