How to act strategically in a turbulent e-business environment - an eclectic approach to strategic inter-organisational systems (IOS) management
Streszczenie
This paper presents an eclectic inter-organisational -oriented
approach to so called strategic IOS management as an alternative
to the more single organisation-oriented, linear approach of
strategic information system planning (SISP). This approach is
termed eclectic because it is based on a toolbox of mini-theories
integrating existing strategic (IS) planning a n d management
theories. The core component of this approach is an IOS scenario
and strategic option generator" based on forcing relationships
between interactive IT capabilities and so-called business impact
areas in an inside-out analysis on the intra-organisational
company level, and an outside-in analysis on inter-organisational
company network level. These impact areas embrace, on a
company level, (i) the internal IT service chain structure (IT chain.
focus), (ii) the value chain structure ( value chain focus), and (iii)
the competitive industry structure (value system focus). n
company network level they embrace, (iv) the intermediating
support chain structure !support chain focus), (v) the inter-
organisational supply chain structure (supply chain focus) and (vi)
the customer cummunity structure (demand chain focus)'
