ABSTRACT
The increasing importance customer relationship management and the need to adopt to the changing business environment have increased the crucial nature of information sharing. Using a sample of 105 large Canadian firms, we investigate the relationship between information sharing and selected organizational characteristics by separating them based on centralization. Stepwise logistic regression correctly classified 91% of the sample using selected information sharing, formalization and conflict variables.
Keywords: Information sharing, market-based rewards, centralization, formalization, conflict.
