As part of an international empirical study we have developed a high-level theory of the structure and evolution of inter-organizational information systems (IOIS), but face two issues in testing this theory; the very large set of factors possibly influencing IOIS and need to bound a complex...

Based on a critical analysis of the literature on the development and adoption of inter-organisational information systems (IOIS) we propose a new unit of analysis for IOIS studies, define levels of analysis based on this unit in order to organize a large set of variables pertinent to the study...

The study of diffusion, adoption and implementation of inter-organisational information systems (IOIS) so far relies on theories which do not address the question of why systems continue to be used once adopted and implemented. We call such theories inertia theories because they imply that...
