An empirical investigation on EDI determinants and outcomes in Malaysian industry
Government involvement is the main cause for the EDI acceptance
in Southeast Asian countries (United Nation of Economic and
Social Commission for Asia and Pacific - UNESCAP, 1996). This
is significantly different from the EDI developments in the western
countries in which private sector involvement in EDI is substantial
(UNESCAP, 1996). As an initial step to spur EDI implementation in
private sector, the Malaysian Government has imposed all companies
that engage in international trade to implement EDI by doing
electronic customs declarations through CIS (Customs Information
System) DagangNet. For this, the Government also spent over RM
300 million to fully implement EDI nationwide (Star, 2003 December
3). Nevertheless, such implementation is not successful and it has
been claimed that
âEDI is not yet fully implemented even though it
had been initiated since late 1990s, besides electronic data is also
still not recognized for legal customs declaration purposes even if it
was meant for paperless and electronic customs declarationsâ
(Star,
2003 December 3). To date, there are dual customs declarations, both
electronic and manual, in practices where the sole typical electronic
transaction is registration of the customs form (Jimmy, 2005; Star,
2005 July 11). This is in contrast with electronic customs declarations by other countries such as Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore where
there is a full electronic declaration including electronic payment
for declarations charges (Jimmy, 2005; Star, 2005 July 11; Chau,
2001)
Distributed interoperable workflow support for electronic commerce.
Abstract. This paper describes a flexible distributed transactional workflow environment based on an extensible object-oriented framework built around class libraries, application programming interfaces, and shared services. The purpose of this environment is to support a range of EC-like business activities including the support of financial transactions and electronic contracts. This environment has as its aim to provide key infrastructure services for mediating and monitoring electronic commerce.
Enterprise extension through extensible markup language
An extended enterprise is comprised of multiple linkages between and amongst a company and its suppliers, distributors, customers and others. Linkages are long term collaborative agreements based on synergies and the ability to create value. An extended enterprise eliminates wasteful transaction costs and removes redundancies, delays and inefficiencies from the supply chain. This is accomplished through the coordination of demand forecasting, production planning, deployment and transportation as well as creating organizational and process links with seamless information flows between them. Extended enterprise is enabled by developments in technology, especially information technology. Sharing information about sales forecast, production schedules, inventory, etc. makes an extended enterprise a win/win situation. Extended enterprise networks have used information technology systems such as electronic data interchanges, enterprise resource planning, and the Internet with different degrees of success. The Integrated Manufacturing Technology Initiative has identified several information technology criteria as critical to the success of future enterprises. Based on these criteria, this paper discusses XMLâs contribution to the extended enterprise paradigm. Dellâs direct sale model is used to illustrate the role of XML in enterprise extension.Una empresa extendida estĂĄ compuesta de varios enlaces entre una compañĂa y sus proveedores, distribuidores, clientes y demĂĄs. Estas uniones son acuerdos a largo plazo basados en la sinergia y en la habilidad de crear valor. Una empresa extendida elimina los costes de transacciĂłn innecesarios y retira las redundancias, atrasos e ineficiencias de la cadena de suministros. Esto se consigue mediante la coordinaciĂłn de la demanda, la planificaciĂłn de la producciĂłn, desempleo y transporte asĂ como crear procesos organizativos y enlaces con informaciĂłn que fluye a travĂ©s de estas partes. Una empresa extendida es posible gracias al Desarrollo en tecnologĂa, especialmente la de la informaciĂłn. Compartir informaciĂłn sobre las ventas, el calendario de producciĂłn, el inventario, etc, permite a la empresa situarse en una situaciĂłn de beneficio. Sus redes de trabajo han empleado la tecnologĂa de la informaciĂłn como intercambios de datos electrĂłnicos, planificaciĂłn de recursos, y el internet con diferentes grados de Ă©xito. La Iniciativa Artesana de TecnologĂa Hecha a Mano ha identificado ciertos criterios que resultan crĂticos para el Ă©xito de las siguientes operaciones y empresas. Basados en estos criterios, este artĂculo discute la contribuciĂłn de XML al paradigma de las empresas extendidas. El modelo de ventas directo de Dell se utiliza para ilustrar el papel de XML a la extensiĂłn de empresas
