Abstract
Automated information systems (IOSs), information networks shared by two or more companies, can enhance the productivity, flexibility, and competitiveness of many companies but can also shift the balance of power between buyers and suppliers, erect entry and exit barriers to the market, and shift the competitive position of intraindustry companies. The need for fast, reliable information exchange, the penetration of information systems into internal business processes, the reliable technical quality of information systems, and the use of IS technology to distinguish products and companies have all contributed to the development of IOSs.
