良好的供應鏈管理(Supply Chain Management, SCM)可以幫助企業降低成本，而企業利用資訊科技可以幫助企業之間做好資訊處理動作，使得供應鏈中的資訊能夠更透明化，以及創造出新的營運策略模式，例如戴爾(Dell)公司的虛擬整合模式，其有效地使用資訊科技來幫助企業創造出新的競爭優勢，同時也創造新的知識，此種運用在組織與組織之間的資訊系統可以稱為跨組織資訊系統。
　　而隨著知識經濟的來臨，企業追求的是靠著創新知識來幫助企業取得競爭優勢，企業希望藉由與其它企業良好的互動來產生出的知識，因此在供應鏈管理中做好知識管理也是企業所注重的課題，而在探討知識管理相關理論中，『社會資本』(Social Capital)一詞漸漸被許多學者所提出來的，社會資本為個人或群體藉由互動關係所衍生出來的有形及無形的資源總和，其強調互動的網絡關係，因此本研究目的為以『社會資本理論』角度來探討跨組織資訊系統(Inter-organizational systems, IOS)對企業間互動關係有何影響？並且探討其間接對企業的知識創造有什麼影響？
　　經由本研究實驗分析結果顯示：(1)跨組織資訊系統的能力對於社會資本創造有正面顯著之影響；(2)社會資本對於知識創造有正面顯著之影響。因此企業可以藉由跨組織資訊系統來增加社會資本，並且間接提升知識創造力。

　　Supply chain management (SCM) can help companies reduce costs. Information technology can help enterprises do a good job in the supply chain information processing. Information technology can make that the information in the supply chain more transparent and enable the creation of a new strategy model. For example, Dell's virtual integration model uses information technology not only help companies create new competitive edge but also create new knowledge. This usage of business to business information systems is a kind of inter-organizational information system (IOS)
　　With the advent of a knowledge-based economy, the creation of new knowledge will bring competitive advantage. In a supply chain, enterprises and other partners hope to create new knowledge through mutual cooperation and good interaction. Therefore, knowledge management is an important topic in the supply chain management. In the theories of knowledge management, social capital gradually been proposed by many scholars. Social capital is generated by the interaction of individuals or groups. Its emphasis is on the relationship of interaction. Enterprise knowledge creation is mainly due to the interaction between enterprises and its other partners. Therefore, this study aims at understanding the influence of inter-organizational information system on enterprise knowledge creation based on the social capital theory.
　　Our empirical results revel that: (1) inter-organizational information system’s capability positively affects the creation of social capital; (2) social capital positively affects knowledge creation. Therefore, firms can enhance social capital through the use of inter-organizational information system, and increase their market knowledge.
