Riassunto

Port Inter-Organizational Information Systems provides insights into the ways global sea ports are challenged by the need for managing complex information flows, given the developments in global supply chains. It argues that special port IT capabilities are needed to address these challenges by sharing information and planning and executing container transport in a collaborative way, establishing inter-organizational information architectures, and coordinating interests to successfully implement the technological infrastructures.

The book focuses on the role of port community systems that support port communities in meeting the demands of global supply chains. It is multidisciplinary in nature and should be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in several fields, including information management, information systems, operations management, supply chain management, and technology management.

The book combines a number of chapters where concepts are explained, while referring to a large repository of case studies provided in an appendix. Also, an introduction to the container transport network is provided in another appendix.
