Resource analysis for IT investments-a supply network approach

The deployment of the emerging concepts of information technology conceives new kinds of business relationships, alliances and adaptations of business processes within the inter-organizational context in industrial markets. This paper considers the supply network approach for understanding the resources between the partnering firms implementing Internet technologies. The conceptual framework projects information playing a key role in the variety of business relationships and the coordination of information flow as a key task between the buyers and the sellers communicating through the system. The information system as a facilitator enables the formation of different and new resource combinations. The different resource ties formed between the firms can be evaluated against the internet-based applications’ capability to facilitate inter-organizational relationships. Such an evaluation helps in choosing and deploying adequate IT applications between firms .
