Abstract

Two of the most essential values we can expect from the application of information technology to daily business practices are speed and credibility. When it comes to business-to-business (B2B) interactions, these virtues play a role of primary driving forces on the ongoing and ever-increasing innovation in manufacturing operation and business transactions. All too often the achievement of the virtues requires reconciliation of two seemingly conflicting objectives, independence and synchronization. The industry as a whole seems to be seeking a breakthrough to this issue in a bunch of de facto standards. In this paper, we analyze the rationale laid behind the current standards based on the review of B2B principles and propose how to articulate the standards with existing IT infrastructures.
