Abstract
Over the past 20 years a variety of electronic markets have been set up to improve the allocation of capacities in road transportation. Although existing inefficiencies and cost pressures provide a strong rationale for electronic market solutions, most attempts have failed so far. Based on an overview of the so-called electronic transportation exchanges we will analyze the factors that were involved in the repeated failures. By using a multilayer framework that integrates established research approaches for interorganizational systems (IOS), we argue that the failures provide valuable insights for the configuration of electronic commerce (EC) systems in general and in particular for the transportation exchanges that are currently emerging on the Internet.
