Challenges during the Development of Transnational Information Systems

There is an increasing interest in and demand for information systems that transcend organizational and national boundaries – transnational information systems. The interorganizational and international nature of these systems introduces development difficulties. Transnational information systems are developed on an ad hoe basis; there are currently no set tools and guidelines to aid their development. This paper addresses transnational information systems development using case research to raise issues concerning the transnational information systems development process and to discuss actual development difficulties and their solutions.
