The opportunities for exchange of information electronically increase significantly with the rapid growth of technology. The methods in use between business entities of interorganizational systems carry both rewards and risks. There are many strategic benefits available to management through electronic linkups, but the opportunities for information to be used as a weapon also exist. The claim of manipulated use of data by controlling airlines in the Apollo and Sabre reservations systems is an example. Also, the government is reviewing the legal aspects of such events as order transmittal. A table of uses of interorganizational systems and a drawing are included.
