Abstract: Even though companies have become efficient in managing information and logistics inside their boundaries, communication and coordination among partner, within an InterOrganisational Information System (IOS), is far from effective. In a global market where the success of a company relies on its entire supply chain, design and implementation of an IOS are mandatory. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), and in particular those inside Industrial Aggregations (IAs), could greatly benefit from IOS implementation, but a widely accepted model of IOS adoption is missing. This paper proposes a framework to analyse the relationships among the main players of IAs and presents its application to an industrial district.
