An inter-Organizational Information system for supply chain management
International Journal of Production Economics, 2001Co-Authors: Paul Humphreys, Mk Lai, D. SculliAbstract:Abstract The deployment of the emerging concepts of Information technology, strategic alliances, and business process re-engineering within the intra/inter-Organizational context have become a popular prescription in enhancing supply chain management. This paper reviews the theoretical foundations for the study of inter-Organizational relationships within a supply chain management context, and analyzes the contingencies of deploying inter-Organizational Information systems (IOIS). A framework is proposed which deploys IOIS from an IOIS provider's perspective. The framework is discussed from the viewpoint of using a strategic Information system within the context of the China to Hong Kong to importing country supply chain.

Individual Participation in Organizational Information Commons
Human Communication Research, 2005Co-Authors: Yu Yuan, Janet Fulk, Peter R. Monge, Michelle Shumate, J. Alison Bryant, Matthew D. MatsaganisAbstract:This research extended earlier public goods research on individual incentives to use an Organizational Information commons that was based in Marwell and Oliver's (1993) collective action model. A revised theoretical model that incorporated team-level social influence and technology-specific competence was proposed. The model was tested using online survey data from 150 individuals in 13 work groups across 5 organizations. The research demonstrated that perceived team member behavior and technology-specific competence were positively related to individual use of intranets, over and above the collective level influences modeled in earlier research. These findings supported a more “socialized” model of individuals' motivations to participate in Organizational Information sharing via collective repositories and suggested that management could boost levels of intranet usage through group level social influence and technology-specific training.

A Test of the Individual Action Model for Organizational Information Commons
Organization Science, 2004Co-Authors: Janet Fulk, Rebecca Heino, Andrew J Flanagin, Peter R. Monge, François BarAbstract:This research elaborated and empirically tested the individual action component of the collective action model as applied to individual contributions to Organizational Information commons. The model extended prior theory and research by making six elaborations on the classic collective action model based on unique characteristics of Information goods compared to material collective goods. The structural equation model was tested via LISREL analyses of data provided by 781 respondents in three high-tech firms who had access to corporate intranets as shared Information goods. The results were highly similar across organizations and indicated that (a) level of production, Information retrieval, and cost predicted the perceived value of Information, (b) Information value and cost predicted gain, and (c) Information retrieval and gain predicted the level of individual contributions to the commons.

Inter-Organizational Information systems adoption – a configuration analysis approach
European Journal of Information Systems, 2011Co-Authors: Kalle Lyytinen, Jan DamsgaardAbstract:In this article we propose a new complementary approach to investigate Inter-Organizational Information Systems (IOIS) adoption called configuration analysis. We motivate the need for a new approach by the common observation that the structure and the strategy of an IOIS are interdependent and that the IOIS adoptions consequently cluster orderly. For example, an IOIS setup with a powerful customer as a hub and many suppliers as spokes frequently surfaces across diffusion studies. Yet, this fact has not been integrated into existing analyses, and its implications have not been fully developed. We propose that IOIS scholars need to look beyond the single adopting organization in IOIS adoption studies and in contrast consider adoption units what we call an adoption configuration. Each such configuration can be further characterized along the following dimensions: (1) vision, (2) key functionality, (3) mode of interaction, (4) structure and (5) mode of appropriation. In addition, these dimensions do not co-vary independently. For example, a particular organizing vision assumes a specific inter-Organizational structure. A typology of IOIS configurations for adoption analysis is laid out consisting of dyadic, hub and spoke, industry and community configurations. Specific forms or adoption analysis are suggested for each type of configuration. Overall, configuration analysis redirects IOIS adoption studies both at the theoretical and the methodological level, and a corresponding research agenda is sketched.

SCIS - Configuration Analysis of Inter-Organizational Information Systems Adoption
Scandinavian Information Systems Research, 2010Co-Authors: Kalle Lyytinen, Jan DamsgaardAbstract:Investigations of the adoption of Information Systems (IS) have successfully sought to predict a singular organization’s or user’s propensity to adopt an IS. Encouraged by the success researchers have approached the diffusion of Inter-Organizational Information Systems (IOIS) as a special instance of IS adoption and extended existing diffusion models with extra-Organizational factors. Unfortunately, the validity and usefulness of these models have been inadequate in explaining IOIS diffusion. In this paper we dismiss the organization as the unit of analysis and we propose an alternative unit for IOIS adoption studies that we call an adoption configuration. Each such configuration has a diffusion scope determined by its topology, a way of relating adopters defined by its underlying mode of interaction, and a style of using the service determined by the mode of appropriation. Configuration based analysis calls for a redirection of IOIS diffusion studies both at the theoretical and the methodological level. Diffusion theories need to synthesize across multiple adoption levels. Methodologically scholars need to work with sparse and incomplete multi-level process data as to explain the emergence and dynamics of viable (and failed) configurations.
