[ID#] 53 [Author(s)] E. Redondo; E. Daniel [Abstract] This paper examines the influence of information systems on inter-firm relationships. The IS literature shows that firms can derive considerable advantages from establishing electronic relationships with other firms. New information technologies can be used to extend the ways firms relate with each other, offering substantial benefits for participating companies. The paper reviews the inter-firm relationship literature and presents a series of dimensions that enable the clarification and measurement of inter-firm relationships. It then goes on to discuss some examples of inter-firm relationships and the motives firms might have to establish such linkages. Finally, it identifies a gap in this area of knowledge and discusses the relevance of addressing it in a manufacturing context. [Title]
