Summary:The deployment of the emerging concepts of information technology, strategic alliances, and business process re-engineering within the intra/inter-organizational context have become a popular prescription in enhancing supply chain management. This paper reviews the theoretical foundations for the study of inter-organizational relationships within a supply chain management context, and analyzes the contingencies of deploying inter-organizational information systems (IOIS). A framework is proposed which deploys IOIS from an IOIS provider's perspective. The framework is discussed from the viewpoint of using a strategic information system within the context of the China to Hong Kong to importing country supply chain.
