Abstract:

During the past two decades, industrial restructuring, large-scale downsizing,vertical disaggregation, outsourcing, and elimination of layers of management have guttered the mighty multidimensional organizations of the 20th century. Many organizations have found themselves to be in middle of a value network, where they are highly dependent on the resources, capabilities and information of their partners. Information technology has been a central enabler in the process toward network society. Despite the critical role of computers in inter-organizational arrangements, coordination of IT decisions within these networks is a fairly unexplored area, both in research and in practice. The processes through which the orchestration of IT in
networks takes place are largely hidden. In this research-in-progress paper we investigate the processes through which networks can reach agreements on the use and management of IT. We present some preliminary findings in areas of trust, management, vision, mission and shared goals in the context of networks’ ICT governance.
