The Shaping Of Inter-Organisational Information Systems: Main Design Considerations Of An International Comparative Research Project

---

Based on a critical analysis of the literature on the development and adoption of interorganisational
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 of IOIS, and show how this design will be implemented
within an international collaborative research project. The main goal of our research is
to shed light on the interaction between characteristics of IOIS and their development
trajectories on the one hand and characteristics of industries and countries on the other
hand. We expect that both, industry characteristics and characteristics of national
environments have a significant influence on the type and development of IOIS but submit
that understanding of these relationships is in its infancy and that significant new insights
can be gained by carefully specifying the network level of analysis. Better understanding
of the way IOIS are shaped can greatly assist in evaluating the extent to which adoption
experiences in one industry or country can be validly used to inform policy choices in
another industry or country.
