Information Technology Standards Choices and Industry Structure Outcomes: The Case of the U.S. Home Mortgage Industry

Transport Coopetition for Environmental Sustainability: Guiding Vertical Standard Design

“…Extant IS research has addressed collective action dilemmas in vertical standards development and diffusion [22], assimilation of vertical standards in organizations [3], extended enterprise arrangements enabled by vertical standards [20], and industry effects of vertical standardization [35]. These studies offer a solid understanding of how and why vertical standards emerge and diffuse.…”

“…Such standards prescribe data structures and definitions, document formats, and business processes for particular industries [20,35]. Bala and Venkatesh [3, p. 341] note that conceptual standards "not only specify and define the structure and format of business messages through a common language but also orchestrate the message exchange choreography, i.e., sequence of steps required to execute an atomic business process among trading partners".…”

“…Given that such infrastructures comprise heterogeneous actors and technologies [37], vertical standardization is a central issue. Vertical standards -open specifications for integrating and digitalizing business processes in an industry -enable user organizations and competing vendors of technology to collectively develop information infrastructures [3,20,22,35].…”

From National to Supranational Government Inter-Organizational Systems: An Extended Typology

“…Similarly, Steinfield et al (2005) observe that less common are studies that examine the implications of IT for large aggregations of firms and especially investigation of IOS influence on entire industries. To overcome the above-mentioned limitations, a number of researchers have tried to shift the analysis of IOS and to move beyond the micro-level business-to-business interactions towards an industry focus (Johnston & Gregor, 2000;Steinfield et al, 2005;Wigand et al, 2005;Markus et al, 2006). The Journal of Information Technology devoted an entire issue to this topic (Iacono & Wigand, 2005).…”

How Has Electronic Travel Distribution Been Transformed? A Test of the Theory of Newly Vulnerable Markets

“…Other works have used single or multiple case study analysis to evaluate different theories. These include Hess and Kemerer [36] and Granados et al [30] on various aspects of the theory of electronic markets and hierarchies [39] and the move-to-the-middle theory [18], Han et al's [33] assessment of incomplete contract theory and interorganizational systems ownership in financial risk management, and Wigand et al's [51] study on industry technology standards in the mortgage market. In this way, we provide some of the first evidence in the information systems (IS) discipline to test the newly vulnerable markets theory.…”
