Abstract: | In today's increasingly interconnected economy, one company's glitch on Monday can be another's bad headline on Tuesday. It's not just a company's own systems that need to be reliable; the systems of suppliers, business partners and customers must also be dependable. In the drive to find new markets, reduce costs and provide better customer service, companies rely on each other's systems through outsourcing, partnerships and joint ventures. |
