From Value/Risk equation to allocation of initiative
• Firm and Person: "Self" re-engineering for interoperability
– "hidden assumption in Value Proposition for EI?"
private
– is this realistic in polarized market? options
•
INSTITUTIONAL APPROACHES
OPTIONS REGARDING
Sector: Sectoral Self-regulation
– Vertical Information System Standard
• Examples:
– eResidential Mortgage Industry(Markus et al., MISQ August, 2006)
– STEP ISO 10303 AP 214 in Automotive industry
• firms in different roles, with similar options/risks per role
• align heterogeneous interests; achieve critical mass; government pressures can help
– suitable tactics available
– delay due to supplier rethoric of "innovation grounded in proprietary standards"
– fragmentation due to ICT ferment and bottom-up
