We can make a similar comparison with the effects of e-sales IS.
We remark that the magnitude of the effect of industry-specific
standards in the financial performance model it is 135% (=0.165/
0.122) of the effect of the degree of development of its e-sales IS,
which is regarded as another highly important and beneficial type
of IS increasingly used by firms; the corresponding percentages in
the other three models are 127% in the customers’ value model,
211% in the business processes performance model and 68% in the
innovation model. This indicates that the adoption of industryspecific
standards for establishing IS interoperability with
cooperating firms has stronger effects on business performance
(with the only exception of innovation performance) than the
degree of development of firm’s e-sales IS.
