Research Seminar
Interorganizational Data and Process Standardization:
Collective Action and Performance Outcomes
M.
Lynne Markus
Abstract
As
organizations achieve greater integration of internal processes,
systems, and data, they increasingly focus on their connections
with external business partners. Always important for the
diffusion of new technology, standards assume even greater
significance in interorganizational integration. Organizations now
frequently collaborate with others in their industry sector to
develop data or process standards and technologies or
infrastructures for information sharing. One key to the success of
these efforts is the governance structures that are put in place
for their direction, coordination, and control. This presentation
outlines the findings of several recent studies focusing on the
architecture and governance of these collaborations and their
roles in the successful development and diffusion of
interorganizational standards and integration.
