Abstract: | In the context of global business, thre is limited evidence or guidance as to how firms transform their existing physical in-country relationships into an IT-enabled global relationship. When one of the world's largest mobile operators, Vodafone of the UK, joined with the world's largest supplier of cellular network infrastructure, Ericsson of Sweden, the aim was to transform their relationship into a global and virtual one, enacted through an inter-organizational information system (IIS). This article explains how this transformation proceeded. |
