In the beginning, ICT are applied to the digitalization of tasks and processes within the organization that facilitates the transition to the stage of integration of information systems and internal communication. Once this level of maturity is reached, it is possible to extend the application oflCT in inter-organizational processes. The main objective of this work is to identify factors that encourage the integration of inter-organizational information systems and the development of the extended value chain. One of the difficulties that this kind of study has to face is on the lack of precise empirical tools that enable comparability of results, both in time and between sectors and countries. It is therefore necessary to perform specific works that shed light on whether the efforts of local organizations to integrate ICT enhance collaborative processes with the environment and the factors influencing these results. It was applied a mixed methodology that combines ad-hoc survey and Tool Assessment Websites, carried out on 23 industrial manufacturing companies located in Rosario and Cordoba Argentina. The search was oriented to the identification of a limited number of indicators, but with the advantage of being amenable to being followed in time, for a number of companies in the region under study. The results indicate that companies with customers and/or suppliers abroad denote a higher level of maturity in the application of ICT.展开更多

This collaboration has more and more developed a particular landscape of projects which share the same operative principles and modes of operation. The city at large has been the context where these projects have been implemented and developed with the will of bringing these types of experimentation to the people and to the public and social scale. Cities are continuously produced through entropic processes that mediate between complexity and immediacy. Information technology operates as a linkage able to set up new rules for communication between man and matter. In this framework, by looking at spatial interventions in the urban space, the aim of the paper is to dissect the modes in which spatial practitioners operate in the digital city through ＂Urban Machines＂ and how information technology becomes a tool for place-making. The paper looks at integrated systems or machines that have spatial, social, and environmental implication in how we experience the city. Machines imply ＂something that has been constructed＂ and ＂function with a specific purpose＂ while being composed by parts that respond to a ＂functioning whole＂. These interventions start from sharing the same principle： How do we generate through technologically mediated experiences opportunities for new types of production of（social）space？; How such systems shape our urban experience and deploy forms of participation in civic life？.展开更多
