Creating and negotiating an inter-organizational business case (BC) for multiple-stakeholder enterprise systems is a major challenge. This paper looks closer into the factors that influence the stakeholders’ willingness to share information necessary for the BC development. The authors develop an explanatory framework showing the effect that project constellation has on the development of a shared BC. They identify several factors, such as goal consensus, cultural and semantic similarities and willingness to share information, that mitigate this effect. Subsequently, the authors apply the framework in an inter-organizational case study in which a BC is developed. The findings show that current BC development methods need to be re-stated and complemented by new tools and interventions to support stakeholders in the inter-organizational specific setting. The authors elaborate on the possibilities that group decision support systems might offer to overcome challenges that might be experienced in the BC development process.

INGENIAS provides a notation for modeling multi-agent systems (MAS) and a well-defined collection of activities to guide the development process of an MAS in the tasks of analysis, design, verification, and code generation, supported by an integrated set of tools—the INGENIAS Development Kit (IDK). These tools, as well as the INGENIAS notation, are based on five meta-models that define the different views and concepts from which a multi-agent system can be described. Using meta-models has the advantage of flexibility for evolving the methodology and adopting changes to the notation. In fact, one of the purposes in the conception of this methodology is to integrate progressive advances in agent technology, towards a standard for agent-based systems modeling that could facilitate the adoption of the agent approach by the software industry. The chapter presents a summary of the INGENIAS notation, development process, and support tools. The use of INGENIAS is demonstrated in an e-business case study. This case study includes concerns about the development process, modeling with agent concepts, and implementation with automated code generation facilities.

This article explains the researcher ownership of tools of inquiry. Using personal narrative, the text highlights the elements of case study development presenting the familial as the impetus for an alternative mode for LIS social justice research in an ethnic, racial, gendered community. Using the researcher journey as an example, the approach is explored through a theoretical and methodological iterative case development process. Implications in the furtherance of LIS social justice inquiry models utilizing a critical-qualitative approach are explicated towards the development of a case study in the pursuit of community-focused research.

The main aim of this chapter is to provide the reader with knowledge about best practices in writing case studies. Case studies are now widely used in many areas of education. Our special focus of this chapter is on business case studies, specifically developed for business school students. Such cases were popularized by Harvard Business School, where this is the main form of teaching. However popular in the teaching process, writing case studies can post significant challenges, especially to first-time case writers. This chapter aims to address those challenges that may occur while developing a case study and to provide the reader knowledge about the best practices in writing case studies. The authors believe that this material can be useful for both experienced case study writers and those with no practice or prior experience. This chapter contains three sections. The first part is focused on the case study development process, covering four stages: strategic decisions, research, writing, testing and refining. The second section aims to present practical aspects of writing a good case study and best practices for case study content and the main elements of case study structure. The third section is focused on a teaching note in the case study development process. In the appendinx the authors present the checklist for developing a good case study that can be helpful tool in the development process.

Case Development

The common structured procurement process of the Request for Information (RFI), Request for Proposal (RFP), and Business Case Development (BCD) is thought to establish ties with the right vendors and to strengthen relationships among other stakeholders. This single-case study gathered information through archival documents, observations, and in-depth interviews and examined whether RFI-RFP-BCP processes fostered favourable relationships with vendors. The study revealed certain disadvantages of the process.

Current supply chain methods are having difficulties in resolving problems arising from the lack of trust in supply chains. The root reason lies in two challenges brought to the traditional mechanism: self-interests of supply chain members and information asymmetry in production processes. Blockchain is a promising technology to address these problems. The key objective of this paper is to present qualitative analysis for blockchain in supply chain as the decision-making framework to implement this new technology. The analysis method used Val IT business case framework, validated by the expert judgements. The further study needs to be elaborated by either the existing organization that use blockchain or assessment by the organization that will use blockchain to improve their supply chain management.
