Effect of internal cost management, information systems integration,
and absorptive capacity on inter-organizational cost management
in supply chains
Inter-organizational cost management is a strategic cost management approach to managing
costs that span organizational boundaries in supply chains. Drawing on the resourcebased
view of the firm, we develop a model to predict which inter-related resources might
enable companies to manage inter-organizational costs. We test this model using a survey
of managerial accountants whose organizations are part of a supply chain. Using structural
equation modeling, we conclude that the resources of internal electronic integration, external
electronic integration, internal cost management, and absorptive capacity play significant
direct and indirect roles in the development of an inter-organizational cost
management (IOCM) resource. We find that these resources are inter-related and together
are useful in enabling companies to ultimately benefit from managing inter-organizational
costs. We find in particular the importance of relational resources associated with absorptive
capacity in the development of an IOCM resource. Our research contributes to theory
and practice by explaining how specific resources can be combined in allowing companies
to better manage inter-organizational costs.
