Abstract
The authors have found that information technology allows the creation of virtual enterprises-thereby enabling new forms of organization. The paper addresses the problem where expertise about customers and physical assets are separate. Traditional organizations couple these two aspects, often overlooking the contribution externalities make to incentives. They describe how IT-enabled affiliations can employ the externalities to improve incentives and become more profitable
