This paper presents FLOWTEST a concept on testing interorganizational workflows on model-level. FLOWTEST focuses on building up test-models, deriving test-cases and executing tests on predefined workflows consisting of atomic web-services. The main goal of FLOWTEST is the realization of a test-suite to drive round-trip testing from code to model back to code level.

Over the years, researchers have examined various facets of trust and its impact on IS research. The advent of e-commerce along with interpersonal, enterprise-wide, and inter-organizational systems has made trust the cornerstone in a large number of ITrelated research fronts.

This research proposes and empirically tests a model of post adoption process improvements realized through use of partners’ Internet-based e-business applications. We identify constructs proposed within adoption and post-adoption use theoretical models as well as presented in existing inter-organizational systems research. Our analysis reveals purely organization-based factors; namely, informa...

Health Information Technology (IT) is an important component of healthcare reform. Health IT holds the promise of improving quality while reducing costs. The broader IT literature frequently recognizes that IT payoffs depend on complementary investments in organization and capital. We build on this literature by evaluating the drivers of hospital surgical management software (HSMS) adoption. HS...

Universities are highly computerized places with a strong technological infrastructure ranging from ERP implementations used for the re-organization of administrative processes to web-based learning applications and development tools deployed to restructure existing leaning models. However, the outcome of these technological interventions is not quite clear mainly because the interaction betwee...

Organizations invest heavily in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems, and their related infrastructure, presumably expecting positive benefits to the organization. Assessing the benefits of such applications is an important aspect of managing such systems. Considering the salient differences between CRM and SCM applications with other intra-organizati...
