The lecture concentrates on interorganizational systems and
business networks, aiming to explore the contingencies and
strategies that lie behind the evolution of IOS, networking
and new e-commerce business cases.
Drawing on case examples as well as theoretical concepts,
the configuration and management of networks as well as the
design and implications of IOS will be discussed from various
perspectives, such as strategic management, organization theory,
information management and IS development.
The course grade will be based on the written exams only. It will be assigned from the
total of points achieved in the two exams. Each written exam will be weighted equally.
