Innovative Collaboration: Extending Integration Theory to Supply Chain Information Ubiquity

The internet of things has enabled integration of processes, people and technology which govern information and data flows between organisations, assets and consumers, creating expectations that in a digital world real time data and information is available for simultaneous timely decision making between such stakeholders. This paper explores the gaps when integration theory is applied to such a context and the research of people organisation and technology factors to close such gaps. Based on Delphi survey findings, this paper concludes by proposing a framework to extend integration theory to innovative collaboration in the ubiquitous computing and information environment across the asset infrastructure supply chain.
