Abstract

In today’s information intensive business world it is critical that decision-makers across the entire supply chain have access to knowledge that is crucial in helping them make more informed business decisions for the adoption of B2B integration (B2Bi) systems. This paper presents a practical capability assessment framework that aims to provide knowledge and in-focus guidance to the enterprises in their effort to adopt B2Bi systems. Our methodology and findings can assist enterprises and public bodies to utilize, share and enrich a knowledge base about B2Bi organizational readiness, throughout their evolution as part of the Knowledge Society.
