Abstract

In a global economy, organizations need to collaborate with other organizations because physical networks of suppliers and partners compete against one another rather than individual organizations. To enable more effective and efficient physical networks, organizations are using information and communications technologies (ICTs) to connect mutually dependent activities and tasks. Connected organizations may attain greater insight into the availability of critical resources, improved ability to respond quickly to events affecting the organization, and greater awareness of the variation between plans and actual results.
