Abstract

Due to rising collaborations among organizations and permeation of various ICT, Inter-organizational information systems (IOS) continue to attract scholarly attentions. The use of IOS technologies enables organizations to engage with other organizations in ways that previously seemed impossible and to present unprecedented inter-organizational arrangements. Despite their importance, little research has been conducted to conceptualize the mutual relationship between IOS technologies and new inter-organizational arrangements that are reflected in inter-organizational governance structures. In this poster, I will identify an emerging gap within the relevant literature. Then, a theoretical foundation will be presented by way of this research problem. Finally, I will discuss possible strategies to empirically investigate the research problem.
