Abstract
This paper presents a model explaining industry-wide information systems integration. Using a theoretical frame of value configuration analysis and information systems (IS) integration extent we find that the IS integration was inhibited by incompatible value integration. On the other hand product sensitivity, continuous production process and presence of “value chain captains” – powerful actors dominating the industry - led to higher levels of integration.
