| Abstract: | Electronic data interchange (EDI) has revolutionized the way in which businesses conduct their trading activities. Alternative organizational forms for EDI processing within organizations are examined and they are evaluated on several task performance indices including independence, saturation and satisfaction, and they are also related to EDI effectiveness as a function of information technology (IT) intensity and length of EDI use. The findings show that organizational form for EDI processing influenced task performance indices such that the more decentralized structures exhibited higher independence and lower saturation than the more centralized structures. |
