It is widely believed that the establishment of interoperability of the information systems (IS) of a firm with those of its collaborators (e.g. customers, suppliers, business partners) can generate significant business value. However, this has been empirically investigated only to a very limited extent. This paper contributes to filling this research gap by presenting an empirical study of the effect of adopting the three main types of IS interoperability standards (industry-specific, proprietary and XML-based ones) on the four important perspectives/dimensions of business performance proposed by the Balanced Scorecard approach (financial, customers, internal business processes, learning and innovation). Our study is based on a large dataset from 14065 European firms (from 25 countries and 10 sectors) collected through the e-Business Watch Survey of the European Commission. It is concluded that all three examined types of IS interoperability standards increase considerably the positive impact of firm‟s information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure on the above four perspectives/dimensions of business performance; however, their effects differ

Most of the research that has been conducted on the business value of information systems (IS) interoperability focuses mainly on the efficiency related benefits it can generate, but deals much less with its potential to drive innovations in firms ’ products/services and processes. Our study contributes to filling this research gap by empirically investigating the effect of interoperability of firm’s IS (meant as compliance with various types of relevant standards) on firm’s innovation performance. It is based on a large dataset from 14.065 European firms (from 25 countries and 10 sectors), which has been collected through the e-Business

This research constructs a design-oriented, Internet-mediated, and knowledge-sharing architecture. Therein XML files serve as the basic exchange and storage format of knowledge texts in the transaction-matching process. All sorts of product information needed by the users of the system platform, including various concepts and related features which involve such different fields as the design, production, and marketing of the product, are integrated into the programmed process of an Internet-mediated transaction (IMT). With the help of the Internet, the information can be rapidly delivered to each interested user and be used repetitively; moreover, the product knowledge as well as relevant experiences can be efficiently managed. The XML-based, design-oriented, Internet-mediated, and knowledge-sharing architecture not only accelerates the exchange of product knowledge and information but enables the users to manage, apply, and share their knowledge on this knowledge management platform. Finally, the users are enabled to acquire the needed information and knowledge and thus upgrade their capabilities.

2012 Acknowledgement First and foremost, my greatest thanks and gratitude to my God, the invincible that provided me the power and persistence to bears this difficult effort. Profoundly, I would like to express my gratitude to my director of studies Professor Hamid Jahankhani for his excellent advice and support throughout this research. Without his support I could never have accomplished this research. Also my deepest thanks and appreciation go to my second supervisor, Dr Elias Pimenidis for his precious guidance and constructive feedback in this critical period of my life. Furthermore, I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Mohammad Dastbaz, for his time and contributions that have raised my knowledge level in academic professionalism. I also owe my great thanks to, Mr Johannes Arreymbi for his continued encouragement and stimulation throughout this research. It is a pleasure to thank my wife Sheelan with children (Ahmed, Hataw, and Gashaw) for devoting the time in which they always promoted and, enabled me to manage at different weird and stressed instances, with such a long commitment of
