Since information owners have superiority, manufacturers try to create a better atmosphere for doing businesses such as sharing critical information with customers. We integrate agency theory and shared vision to construct a model to study the impact factors on information sharing behaviors between enterprises. A self-administered questionnaire method was adopted to collect data and structure equation model (SEM) was employed to analyze the data. The results indicate that enterprises’ perceptions of information asymmetry and information security concerns significantly increase their perceptions of uncertainty and further impact their intentions of information sharing. Moreover, shared vision between enterprises significantly increases their intention to share information and, thus, promote their actions to share information.
