Identity is the new money
This book argues that identity and money are both changing profoundly. Because of technological change the two trends are converging so that all that we need for transacting will be our identities captured in the unique record of our online social contacts. Social networks and mobile phones are the key technologies. They will enable the building of an identity infrastructure that can enhance both privacy and security - there is no trade-off. The long-term consequences of these changes are impossible to predict, partly because how they take shape will depend on how companies take advantage of business opportunities to deliver transaction services. But one prediction made here is that cash will soon be redundant - and a good thing too. In its place we will see a proliferation of new digital currencies.

Predicting Intention to Adopt Interorganizational Linkages: An Institutional Perspective
This study used institutional theory as a lens to understand the factors that enable the adoption of interorganizational systems. It posits that mimetic, coercive, and normative pressures existing in an institutionalized environment could influence organizational predisposition toward an information technology-based interorganizational linkage. Survey-based research was carried out to test this theory. Following questionnaire development, validation, and pretest with a pilot study, data were collected from the CEO, the CFO, and the CIO to measure the institutional pressures they faced and their intentions to adopt financial electronic data interchange (FEDI). A firm-level structural model was developed based on the CEO's, the CFO's, and the CIO's data. LISREL and PLS were used for testing the measurement and structural models respectively. Results showed that all three institutional pressuresmimetic pressures, coercive pressures, and normative pressures-had a significant influence on organizational intention to adopt FEDI. Except for perceived extent of adoption among suppliers, all other subconstructs were significant in the model. These results provide strong support for institutional-based variables as predictors of adoption intention for interorganizational linkages. These findings indicate that organizations are embedded in institutional networks and call for greater attention to be directed at understanding institutional pressures when investigating information technology innovations adoption.

Integration in Electronic Exchange Environments
Provided the increasing prevalence of electronic exchange environments-including propriety electronic data interchange (EDI) and some Internet-based EDI (e-commerce) systems-we argue that management's decision-making focus vis-à-vis electronic data interchange (EDI)assumes a tactical disposition rather than a strategic one. We offer that the formulation and execution of tactics may be organized around the general question of how to effectively integrate EDI with internal systems, since this appears to be crucial for obtaining the expected performance advantages. We distinguish between two integration concepts, including the integration between the EDI systems and internal systems (interface integration), and the integration among the internal systems (internal integration). Based on theory and literature, we propose that interface integration is favorably related to performance outcomes, and that interface integration and internal integration are positively related. Using data from the Group Insurance industry, we obtain supportive findings. We conclude that tactical EDI planning should centrally focus on interface integration regardless of how intensively management plans to use EDI. We further conclude that management may want to consider internal integration as a risk factor during EDI implementation, because the ability to establish high interface integration may be inhibited or advanced by low or high internal integration, respectively.

POLCA system for supply chain management: simulation in the automotive industry
This paper aims to explain how the paired-cell overlapping loops of cards with authorisation (POLCA) system can be an efficient practice to coordinate the production flow in supply chains (SCs). For this purpose, it describes a case study using POLCA between connections in an automobile industry SC. For adequate functioning of the POLCA system, it is proposed the combined use of such system with electronic data interchange and just in sequence. The methodology used in this research was the Case Study. Thus, a proposal was developed based on literature and field research. After that, the proposal has been validated through simulation. The simulation shown in the present study reveals that the proposal has the potential to allow the company maintaining its supply with a significant inventory reduction, therefore with a better production flow coordination with its dashboard supplier. The paper revealed a new and very promising mechanism for a company coordinates its production flow: the POLCA/EDI/JIS logic. This research has shown that POLCA system logic can also be used to coordinate the production flow between a company and its suppliers. To the best of our knowledge, any paper in literature presented this use for the POLCA system.
