Overview: This paper adopts a resource dependency perspective to demonstrate the premise that interorganizational systems are not all created equal but are all related. This principle is theoretically established and empirically supported through a comprehensive review of the IOS literature. Associations between four base IOS types; reciprocal-sequential, modular-sequential, modular-pooled and reciprocal-pooled are established and indicate varying degrees of loose- versus tight-coupling. The relationships are represented as a series of propositions that together define an embedded resource dependency theory of IOS management.
