Résumé
Electronic data interchange (EDI) can be defined as an inter-organizational system (IOS) allowing remote organizations to communicate or electronically trade messages, without human intervention. It is not the vulnerability of EDI itself which is questioned but much more the social shaping of this technology by agent's interests. EDI analysis should clearly specify the structure of the economic, political and organizational relations between implied agents. The second issue concerns to new forms of trade relations between economic agents allowed or facilitated by EDI. The risks related to EDI use express only part of the vulnerability. The vulnerability effects of the networks economy are more hidden which is largely encouraged by EDI and other interorganizational systems.
