In this paper, we attempt to investigate the constitutive roles of external and internal information systems for interorganizational knowledge transfer which is compassed by the knowledge movement from a source firm and knowledge receipt by a recipient firm. We take a dyadic approach to examine how the interorganizational systems (IOS) and the internal organizational memory information systems ...

Flexibility, adaptation and distribution have been regarded as major challenges of modern interorganizational workflow. To address these issues, this paper proposes an interorganizational workflow execution framework based on process agents and ECA rules. In our framework, an interorganizational workflow is modeled as a multiagent system with a process agent for each organization. The whole exe...

Dynamic modelling is a frequently used approach for solving problems in interorganizational systems. In order to construct valid models of such systems, representatives of the individual organizations must be involved in the modelling process. Current approaches of dynamic modelling use a form of 'consultative design' for handling the participation of organizational representatives. Based on fi...

Interorganizational processes have been described as an intricately choreographed dance. Standardized workflow serves as a medium for participants to exchange complimentary moves that comprise the ‘dance’. Attempts to develop open process standards, such as Rosetta Net, have had limited success in finding wide-spread adoption. We argue that standardization of interorganizational business proces...
