摘要：Information technologies have been transforming and creating new business processes and subsequently organizational structures. In the 1990s, business process reengineering was enabled by client-server technology on local/wide area networks. Departmental walls and functional silos were removed or reduced due to these reengineering efforts. However, they were usually limited to one company. Web services available on the Internet in the 2000s provide an opportunity to broaden these reengineering opportunities to a chain of companies for inter-organizational business processes. This paper explains the web service technology and also discusses its business implications in terms of inter-organizational business process reengineering.
