Interorganizational information system (IOS) standards development in industrial groups is proving to be an extremely productive and effective endeavour. With countless stakeholders, varying opinions and firms that are more accustomed to competition than cooperation, many industrial groups have leveraged the use of a non‐profit, voluntary‐consensus, standards development consortium to act as a separate entity and lead agent towards industry‐wide standardization initiatives. We employ common…

  • 2014
TLDR
It is argued that interorganizational systems (IOS) standards are a key information technology infrastructure facilitating formation of interoperability and shown that interoperability acts as a mediator by enabling firms to achieve performance gains from IOS standards adoption.
What Motivates Firms to Contribute to Consortium-Based E-Business Standardization?
TLDR
A research model based on collective action theory is proposed to investigate the drivers of standard development within consortia and indicates differences between vendors and users, as vendors are more motivated by perceived standard benefits whereas users are moremotivated by perceived process benefits.
An Empirical Investigation of E-business Standardization Initiatives: Enablers and Barriers of Industry-Wide Collaboration in Industry Standard Consortia
TLDR
This paper proposes an organization-industry standard consortia-environment framework to investigate enablers and barriers of industry-wide collaboration in industry standard Consortia, and aims to better understand firms' motive behind the private provision of a public good.
Assimilation of Interorganizational Business Process Standards
TLDR
Using a cross-case analysis based on data from 11 firms in the high-tech industry, evidence is found to support propositions that relational depth, relationship extendability, and normative pressure were important for dominant firms while relational specificity and influence mechanisms wereImportant for nondominant firms.
An Exploratory Analysis of the Relationship Between Organizational and Institutional Factors Shaping the Assimilation of Vertical Standards
Vertical standards describe products and services, define data formats and structures, and formalize and encode business processes for specific industries. Vertical standards enable end-to-end…
Adoption and Impacts of Interorganizational Business Process Standards: Role of Partnering Synergy
TLDR
This paper proposes a model that postulates that a set of TOE factors will have synergistic effects (i.e., interactions between a focal firm's and its partner's factors) on IBPS adoption and tests the effect of these factors in a study of 248 firms implementing RosettaNet-based IBPS.
Industry-Wide Information Systems Standardization as Collective Action: The Case of the U.S. Residential Mortgage Industry
TLDR
This contribution examines VIS standardization through the lens of collective action theory, applied in the literature to information technology product standardization, but not yet to VIS standardized, which is led by heterogeneous groups of user organizations rather than by IT vendors.
Developing IOIS as Collective Action: A Cross-Country Comparison in the Health Care Sector
TLDR
The paper reconstructs contingencies and stra-tegic choices of key actors who were involved in the development of e-ordering solutions in Ireland and Australia and focuses on the underlying set of standards consisting of product numbering standards as well as communication protocols.
Drivers and outcomes of open-standard interorganizational information systems assimilation in high-technology supply chains
To Participate Or Not To Participate: An Investigation Of Strategic Participation In Standards
TLDR
A conceptual model is presented that considers the potential for market innovation advantage and influence on innovation and efficiency from standardization work, to build a forward-looking decision model that can guide an organization’s standards development activities.
