The market for music products has recently been subject to dramatic forces for change. We propose a model and theoretical perspective for understanding the transformation of the market structure in the recorded music industry value chain due to new forms of digital distribution. We take into account the traditional music industry’s value chain and distribution network, and the product characteristics of digital music as they relate to consumer value creation. We also showcase changes in market structure from the various perspectives of the players in the music industry value chain. We then present propositions that characterize the forces at work in market transformation and how each player’s role in the digital music industry value chain is likely to change. We also explain how intellectual property rights issues are affected by the market structure changes. Finally, we explore a number of industry mini-cases that provide evidence in support of our proposed theoretical perspective. ______________________________________________________________________________

Organisations that wish to establish IT-supported business relationships with business partners face major challenges, among them the need for creating a win-win-situation and the effort to align business processes and link up information systems across company borders. Whereas interoperability has been widely dis-cussed in a technical context, it has not (yet) been explored how interoperability relates to the business strategy and organisational design of the business relation-ship. This paper explores interoperability from a business perspective and identi-fies the fundamental artefacts related to business interoperability. Building on contingency theory, it outlines a comprehensive framework suggesting a fit be-tween the level of business interoperability and environmental as well as internal contingencies. 1

Based on ethnographic studies of two business-to-business (B2B) electronic commerce (EC) marketplaces and a review of interorganizational relationship literature, this paper proposes a model explaining why organizations form alliances to create and why organizations join B2B EC marketplaces. This paper proposes viewing B2B EC marketplaces as a public good. The paper uses public good theory as an umbrella integrating transaction cost and resource dependency perspectives with Oliver’s [1990] determinants of interorganizational relationships.

Decisions to invest in information technology (IT) infrastructure are often made based on an assessment of its immediate value to the organization. However, an important source of value comes from the fact that such technologies have the potential to be leveraged in the development of future applications. From a real options perspective, IT infrastructure investments create growth options that can be exercised if and when an organization decides to develop systems to provide new or enhanced IT capabilities. We present an analytical model based on real options that shows the process by which this potential is converted into business value. In this context, we discuss middleware as an example technology because it delivers shared and reliable IT services that enable the development of future IT applications. We derive managerial implications for the evaluation of IT infrastructure investments and how business value is determined by demand uncertainty and market competition, as well as by the IT infrastructure-driven cost advantage of the firm relative to its competitors. The findings of this research are: (1) the flexibility provided by IT infrastructure investment is more valuable when uncertainty is higher; (2) the cost advantage that IT infrastructure investment brings about is amplified by demand volatility for IT-supported

A collaborative B2B relationship implies jointly executing business processes. This relationship demands a complete access to available information and knowledge to support decision-making activities between trading partners. To support information interchange between enterprises in collaborative B2B e-commerce there are some XML-based standards technologies, like RosettaNet, ebXML and OAGIS. However, XML does not express semantics by itself. So, these standards only provide an infrastructure to support the information interchange. They are suitable to integrate information but not to support decision-making activities where a common understanding of the information is needed. In this paper we analyze the integration of these standards with ontology to describe the meaning of the information and knowledge interchanged between trading partners to jointly execute business processes. Furthermore, we define the main components of an ontology development environment to support the entire ontology lifecycle.

Organizations around the world are capitalizing on a proliferation of new technologies and applications over the Internet and World Wide Web to develop e-business. Despite the interest in e-marketplaces, there are still many open questions about e-marketplaces and how they differ from other B2B e-commerce applications. This paper examines the lessons learned from EDI adoption to explain the success or failure of e-marketplace participation. Building upon the notion of institutional trust that develops through situational, structural and procedural factors, we propose a model which identifies facilitating conditions that favor e-marketplace participation. We conclude the paper with implications to theory, practice and directions for future research.

Newly emerging electronic marketplaces have significant implications for the choice of governance mechanisms used by firms. This paper builds on transaction cost and routine based perspectives in analyzing buyers ’ decision to use IT-enabled market mechanisms such as reverse auctions. The study argues that buyers are less likely to adopt reverse auctions for products with higher degrees of noncontractibility. A significant contribution of this study lies in operationalizing and validating the concept of noncontractibility as an explanatory variable for predicting buyer adoption of electronic marketplaces. We argue that the notion of noncontractibility addresses the mixed predictions in previous research concerning the impact of IT on firm boundaries as evident in the electronic market and move to the middle hypotheses. 1
