Description
This second volume in the series presents a coherent set of papers that deal with the challenges of leveraging information technology
for designing inter-organizational relationships. Instead of assembling a set of papers that are loosely connected to the broad theme
of strategy and information technology, this volume presents a well-knit compendium of papers on a coherent topic.
