Cross-Organizational and Cross-Border IS/IT Collaboration: Mini-Track Introduction

Abstract:     
Information Systems (IS) are increasingly being deployed across multiple departments, organizations, countries and world regions. Consequently, the quality of technical and non-technical integration of various IS modules is highly related to the tangible outcomes and, therefore, to the firm performance. In spite of the importance of the topic, not many research projects specifically focusing on cross-organizational and cross-border collaboration are reported. Thus, the context of this mini-track is the integration of people, systems, processes and infrastructure across organizations, borders, nations and world regions to enable productive teamwork toward accomplishing mutual goals.

Keywords: collaboration, non-technical integration, system integration, technical integration
