We build a model of credit card pricing that explicitly takes into account credit functionality. We show that a monopoly card network always selects an interchange fee that exceeds the level that maximizes consumer surplus. If regulators only care about consumer surplus, a conservative regulatory approach is to cap interchange fees based on retailers’ net avoided costs from not having to provid...

Im Zuge der Bemühungen um die Verbesserung unternehmensübergreifender Geschäftsprozesse gewinnt der elektronische Austausch von Daten oder Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) an Bedeutung. Jedoch konnte sich EDI in seiner heutigen Form aus einer Reihe von Gründen, die im vorliegenden Beitrag genannt werden, bislang nicht entscheidend durchsetzen. Es wird daher vorgeschlagen, die Planung und Gesta...

Despite the benefits of standards-based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) modes of communication, only a small percentage of organizations have adopted even a single form of EDI. Organizations are often unable to assess the benefits resulting from the adoption of EDI due to the complexity of operational issues. This paper develops a model and decision support tool for identifying if EDI adoptio...

Tradenet processed about 75% of the total volume of trade documents in Singapore. Among these trade documents , 95% were processed in 15 minutes. More importantly, Tradenet participants have reported an improvement in productivity of about 20% to 30%. Being a successful EDIS, Tradenet is a good candidate for research. Research Model and Methodology This research study examines the impact of Tra...

Electronic data interchange (EDI)-enabled trading partnerships are even more important now that EDI and electronic commerce-based technologies are underlying long-term strategic business partnerships. This study investigates the trading partner selection criteria used by ®rms in a customer-supplier dyad and their relative importance according to EDI implementation level is also established. Usi...

EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange For Administration Commerce and Transport) is being used for transmission of laboratory reports to General Practitioners (GPs) in the UK. There is a need for mechanisms to allow sites using different clinical systems to manage this in a safe and consistent way. This poster describes the methods used, including work undertaken to create a professionally refin...

New technologies have fostered a shift from a transaction-based economy through an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) informational-exchange economy to relationship-based Electronic Commerce (EC) one (Keen 1999.) We have moved from “first order” transactional value exchanges through “secondorder” informational value exchanges to “third-order” relational value exchanges (Widmeyer 2004.) Three imp...

Advances in EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) demand appropriate controls in order to realize the potential benefits from it. Formal, informal, and automated controls are basic parts of EDI controls. The state of one of three controls is suggested to affect performance indirectly through their effect on another controls in the research model. The causal relationships are tested using structural...

This paper discusses a field study that investigates the relationship between a linguistic theory called speech act theory (sat) and automated electronic messages. The results reveal that standards for both electronic data interchange and interapplication communication messages have the structure predicted by sat. This provides some evidence supporting computerized systems based on sat. The ben...

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems are used in many domains to support inter-organisational information exchange. These systems require complex message translation, where data must be transformed from one EDI message format into another. We describe a visual language and support environment which greatly simplify the task of the systems integrator by using a domain-specific visual langua...
