A MULTIDIMENSIONAL VIEW OF EDI: TESTING THE VALUE OF EDI PARTICIPATION TO FIRMS

The percentage of trading partners with whom firms share information via electronic data interchange (EDI) was the single measurement for past studies. This paper argues that the intensity of EDI participation is a multidimensional concept incorporating 1. range, the percentage of trading partners with whom a firm shares information. 2. width, the extent to which a firm used EDI. 3. depth, the percentage of data processing done via EDI relative to manually. The level of EDI participation will affect the value of EDI.
