Description Inter-organisational systems (IOS) form the backbone of today‟s e-commerce between organisations. However, very little is reported about how these systems are introduced. An exception is the work of Rahim et al. [2006; 2007], who proposed the IOS Adoption Motivation (IMM) model. This model explains variations in IOS introduction processes by relating organisational motivations for adopting a given IOS solution. The model has been partially tested using qualitative case study protocol. As a result, the statistical generalisation of the model is not yet possible. This paper attempts to evaluate an instrument that measures organisational motivations for IOS adoption and then describes a rigorous qualitative process to validate that instrument. The instrument is useful to the e-commerce researchers because it enables them to establish statistical generalisibility of the IMM model. It is also beneficial to e-commerce/IT managers because it enhances their confidence in the ability to use the IMM model to avoid the uncertainty associated with IOS introduction by choosing appropriate adoption process.
