Mirko Cesarini, Mario Mezzanzanica

2007

Abstract

In this paper we point out the organizational issues related to the set-up of a competitive federated information system. The joint exploitation of information owned by different, independent, even competing companies and public administrations may be carried out according to a “competitive model”. The term competition is used in management literature to refer to a hybrid behavior comprising competition and cooperation. We will show in this paper that the set-up of a competitive scenario raises organizational issues, which can be addressed by the creation of inter-firm personal relationships as well as by the firms decision makers active engagement.
