Organizational Memory (OM) can be defined as the way an organization applies past knowledge to present activities. This mini-track focuses on how information technology can assist organizations in capturing, structuring, retaining, and retrieving OM. It represents a primary forum for researchers in this domain to exchange ideas and present research results. We are also striving to make it a spr...

In the past few years, many organizations have implemented ERP systems as a solution to integrate existing enterprise-wide information systems. With the emergence of Internet technology and extended enterprises, this paper argues that existing Enterprise Systems (ES) researchers should look beyond the intra-organizational level and consider some of the implementation issues from an inter-organi...

To serve its purpose as a backbone for business integration, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems need to be integrated with other information systems inside and outside the boundaries of an enterprise. An inductive case study was made to examine a long-term ERP system of a large manufacturing enterprise to better understand the nature and importance of ERP system integration. Our results...

It aims at reconstructing the developing understanding of Inter-organizational Information Systems (IOIS) over the years as evidenced by these workshops, which have been designed to provide a forum to discuss emerging topics, fields, and strategies for IOIS research on a network and industry level. T...

A steadily increasing number of researchers believes that so-called ’organizational’ multi agent systems are a key technology to support information and knowledge processing activities in cooperative, networked organizations. This, in turn, necessitates their integration with the underlying human-centred organization.

The continuing growth and decentralization of power networks creates immense interoperability and integration challenges for ICT systems performing control and coordination tasks. On the one hand, large amounts of data coming from low-level field and automation systems need to be interpreted, aggregated, and made available to the business information systems to inform local decisions within pow...

This paper deal s with the integration and control of organizational information systems. The framework for this integration and control is that of Information Resource Management (IRM) the management not only of information but al so of the processes that specify, generate, di stri bute, and consume information. Within the context of IRM, the concept of metadata -data about data -is introduced...
