| Abstract: | This paper specifies a generalizable model of exchange processes and
develops a process-stakeholder analysis framework to evaluate
alternative market designs. This framework is applied to analyze a
number of information technology initiatives in the Dutch flower
markets. The Dutch flower auctions are the world's leading centers for
trading cut-flowers and potted plants. We undertake a cross-case
analysis and apply our framework to analyse successes and failures in
the introduction of new IT-based trading mechanisms in these markets.
Based on our study, we develop a number of testable propositions on: the
separation of physical and informational processes in trading, the
responses of stakeholders to changes in available information due to IT
initiatives, and economic and incentive conditions required for adoption
of new trading processes. Finally, our detailed cases illustrate the
institutional and incentive constraints, and complexities encountered in
the introduction of new electronic markets. |
