“…These alliances characterized a spectrum of inter-firm arrangements, ranging from technology alliances to construction alliances and to alliances created to launch joint educational programs. The research team examined these alliances in terms of strategy, structure, processes and people with the purpose of eliciting an explicit agenda for the management of strategic alliances (see also Klein et al, 2004). In this section we present the basic constructs of the alliance management framework which we substantiate in the following sections by applying it to the case of a strategic technology alliance in the process of transition from initiation to commercialization.…”

Innovative technology-based products and services are often the result of the syndication of skills and resources of more than one firm. Such inter-firm arrangements -i.e. strategic technology alliances -need to balance innovation with sustainability, an issue requiring explicit management attention. This paper discusses the issues faced by management within this context. The paper argues that strategic technology alliances require a new set of management practices targeting issues at the inter-firm level, acknowledging and addressing inter-firm evolution and the impact this has on the nature and severity of topics on the management agenda. The paper proposes a management framework at the inter-firm level, with topics arranged according to an inter-firm lifecycle perspective. Topics for managerial attention and action for the stages of initiation, configuration, implementation, stabilization and transformation are identified. Finally, the paper illustrates the utility of this framework by applying it to a strategic technology alliance case in the process of transition from initiation to commercialization.

“…Therefore, NIM must ensure that a balance between the strategic goals on the one hand and incentives for the actors on the other is reflected in the information flow inside the network. Furthermore, Klein et al (2004) describe the possibility that making information available may strengthen trust among the actors within a network, but that the partners are simultaneously concerned about losing control over the data. This applies especially to Inter-Organizational Systems (IOS), because such systems, by virtue of their original designation, are used mainly for information sharing, and reliable and fast data transfers are decisive for their further existence (see Klein et al (2004), p. 13).…”

“…In a PCS, the operator is the entity which must build up NIM in order to create a balance between the different partners, which consist in part of net providers and in part of net recipients of information. The determination of the value of certain data and the associated compensation payments to the business making them available are critical for the acceptance of the IOS among the users (see Klein et al (2004), p. 14f.…”

This paper highlights the importance of cross-actor integration on the informational level. It reveals that transparency of data flow along the value chain is a relevant factor for terminal operation. A case study outlined in this paper presents potential improvements through an informational integration of actors within the maritime transport network. Background Situation and Formulation of the ProblemThe rapid growth of container handling and related port hinterland traffic in recent years has caused all the actors involved to face numerous challenges associated with the proper dimensioning and operation of the network. The actors are faced with several problem areas, which have proved a hurdle to the processing of a growing flow of goods to the hinterland. There is, for example, no constant availability, transparency and speed of information along the maritime transportation chain. Furthermore, the level of standardization of IT interfaces and data communications of the actors involved in the intermodal transportation chain is quite low. One of the

Car manufacturers and suppliers in the Automotive industry increasingly face the issue of optimization of highly complex supply chains that need to accommodate each customer's precise demands, requiring a vast array of parts and information to be available at the right place and at the right time. This involves data sharing between organizations, which is hindered by various issues, such as fear of data misappropriation by the data receiver or the involuntary disclosure of business secrets. The paper proposes design principles for a novel type of Inter-Organizational Information System, which addresses these challenges through the technical implementation of data sovereignty. The study reports on an Action Design Research study in the Automotive industry between a car manufacturer and a 1st-tier supplier. It contributes (a) design requirements, (b) design features, (c) an instantiation, and (d) design principles for this type of data sovereign inter-organizational information system.
