Abstract

nterorganizational Standards (IOS) are a key-lever to digitizing  business relationships within value creating networks. They provide  assistance in bridging organizational borders by providing standard  processes and semantics. Various IOS have been developed for supporting  complex, partly domain dependent communication scenarios. Only little  academic work analyzes the process of selecting a specific standard  (set) out of several sufficient and therefore "rival" candidates in  situations of specifying a technological infrastructure for exchange. We  argue that selecting a specific standard is a profound decision  problem. This research contributes to this decision problem. First, by  reflecting the academic field of Management Cybernetics we illustrate  how this theoretical lens helps us to understand the nature of business  relationships. Based on our findings we elaborate propositions that  inform the standard selection. Second, this work may inspire researchers  by the way propositions are utilized in design-oriented IS research by  both guiding the actual design process and serving as profound reference  in artifact evaluation.
