Types of IOS Sample Clauses

Types of IOS. ‌ Based on the preceding phases, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2007) developed a categorization of IOS into three different types: Elementary, intermediate, and advanced. These types were identified based on characteristics of technology, use, and partner factors. The types correspond with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’▇ (2005) transaction, information-sharing, and collaborative views on IOS. However, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ (2007) typology is chosen for use in this thesis.
