Standards play a prominent role in systems characterized by interaction. In information systems, standards provide for compatibility and are a prerequisite for collaboration benefits. More generally speaking, standards constitute networks. In this work, a standardization framework based on an analysis of deficiencies of network effect theory and a game theoretic network equilibrium analysis is developed. Fundamental determinants of diffusion processes in networks (e.g. network topology, agent size, installed base) are identified and incorporated into a computer-based simulation model. As a...

Digital networking technologies are empowering organizations to form dynamic networks, generating exceptional or 'smart' results. These Smart Business Networks (SBNs) enable individual organizations to compete more effectively and to respond better to a changing world. This idea attracted a diverse group of academic scholars and business professionals to Beijing from May 19-23, 2008, hosted by Tsinghua University. They discovered new ways to manage network resources, operate business processes across a network, create a business operations platform, understand the importance of network...

Stimmt das Geschaftsmodell Ihrer Bank noch? Welche Leistungen erbringen Sie selbst und welche beziehen Sie besser von anderen Finanzdienstleistern? Der Weg hochintegrierter Universalbanken hin zu fokussierten und vernetzten Instituten geht weit uber das kostenorientierte Auslagern einzelner Bereiche hinaus und verandert die Anatomie heutiger Banken grundlegend. Diese Transformation beinhaltet das haufig kostenorientierte Outsourcing ebenso wie das an kunftigen Geschaftsfeldern orientierte Insourcing und zielt auf die Positionierung einer Bank in einem Netzwerk. Ausgehend von der Frage nach...

McGonagle and Vella maintain that competitive intelligence as we know it is just the first step toward the creation of true corporate intelligence. Their book thus explores ways in which new channels of communication and new uses of information and intelligence will change corporations, and how these changes can be anticipated now in an organization's strategic planning, crisis management, benchmarking, reverse engineering, and defensive intelligence activities. In doing so, they introduce readers to new techniques, such as shadow benchmarking and fractal management analysis. Readable,...

Good and Schultz demonstrate how the careful identification and management of technologies provide significant advantages that for many managers and firms far outweigh the disadvantages imposed through the invention of these technologies. As part of this exploration, the strategic, organizational, and managerial impacts of technology are explored in a variety of venues. The book discusses such topics as the roots and directions of technology, how technology will change organizational teamwork, its influence on internal and external (e.g., supplier and customer) relationships, opportunities...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning, ICCBR 2005, held in Chicago, IL, USA, in August 2005.

The 19 revised full research papers and 26 revised poster papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions.
