Abstract	When two or more organizations interconnect their internal computer networks they form an Inter-Organization Network (ION). This paper analyzes how this new medium changes the economics of inter-organization communication and interchange and can thereby support communications of greater intensity and scope. Furthermore, in the spirit of transaction cost theory [15], we analyze how the new communication patterns can in turn support changes in the organization of work and industrial activities; in particular, by allowing participants to carry out greater numbers of activities across their organization boundaries, and to do so with greater numbers of interchange partners. However, at the same time ION communications may be more penetrating and segmented and thereby encourage participants to impose restrictions on cross-boundary flows and interchange partners. To benefit from ION use organizations will have to balance these opportunities and risks. We demonstrate our model with examples of commercial buyer-supplier relationships and an investigation of peer relationships among research and development (R&D) laboratories. The model and study demonstrate that technical analysis can inform organizational analysis of new technologies without being technologically deterministic. Moreover, our organizational analysis has implications for the technical design of IONs as described in [4].
