Interorganizational EAM

Last modified Jul 12, 2021

Motivation

The increasing number of competitors with similar business models force organizations to adapt their existing business models and technologies to remain competitive. They must adapt to the environment in which they operate as a whole ecosystem. This includes the shift from competition to coevolution with customers, suppliers, investors, and competitors (Moore 1996).  As a result, they follow a specific collaboration form which is distinguished by its dimension and direction (Jagdev and Thoben 2001; Simatupang and Sridharan 2002).

 

 

Research Goal

Companies have to bear in mind that neither their business processes nor their IT is isolated from their business partners. In fact, companies are increasingly intertwined and interconnected with cooperating organizations (Drews and Schirmer 2014). In this research project, we try to understand the motivation, challenges, and benefits of interorganizational EAM initiatives and the use cases of interorganizational business capability maps.
