e3alignment: Exploring inter-organizational alignment in net worked value constellations.

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the ealignment approach for inter-organizational alignment. With ealignment we create alignment between organizations operating in a networked value constellation which is a set of organizations who jointly satisfy a customer need by (1) focusing on the interaction between the organizations in the networked value constellation, (2) considering interaction from four different perspectives, and (3) utilizing conceptual modeling techniques for each perspective. By creating inter-organizational alignment between the actors in a networked value constellation ealignment ultimately contributes to a sustainable and profitable networked value constellation. To actually create alignment, ealignment iteratively takes three specific steps: (1) identification of alignment issues, (2) alignment solution design, and (3) impact analysis. We tested ealignment on an industrial strength case study in the Spanish electricity industry.
