| Abstract: |
Information Technology has a significant impact on industrial organization as well as individual organizations. The significantly lower costs of obtaining, processing, and transmitting information and the arising (electronic) information links within and between firms spur radical changes in the way companies operate and cause the de-integration of industrial market structures. The result is smaller firms, virtual organizations and complex inter-organizational structures. The redefinition of such relationships is spurred by the emergence of specialized (cyber-)intermediaries. These emerging, product and service integrators create new digital values and business propositions by offering additional information or transaction services, by repackaging their current information assets and by integrating third-party products. A new business model is emerging: electronic networks and markets allow the break-up of previously thought to be firmly controlled value chains or systems. The value chain looses its chain attributes, and is replaced by a web of fluid and flexible relations - the value web.
