Abstract
This study identifies typical scenario patterns in information logistics and explores the impact of a broad context of factors such as strategy, organization, processes, and systems on the shaping of those patterns. Based on an empirical investigation, the current state of information logistics is analyzed. The results reveal three common information logistics scenarios: (S1) Balanced, (S2) Standard biased and (S3) Quality and strategy biased. Each scenario is analyzed by taking into account different factors. The four predominant factors identified in this study are (F1) Centralization and process integration, (F2) Quality, (F3) Standardization, and (F4) Sophistication of strategy. It is important to understand which information logistics scenarios exist and how these are shaped. This knowledge is necessary to systematically adapt methods and conceptual models for information logistics design to specific situations.
