ABSTRACT
Informational integration is one of the important challenges and more aggressive strategies toward radical actions, for instance, to protect the environment from unwise long-term decisions. The integration of regional infrastructure is essential for the economic well-being of nations. The multi-case cases dig into the several initiatives for port integration mentioned by Wang et al. This diversity denotes the significant levels of formality required for port integration, varying from informal agreements of cooperation to advanced strategic alliances, joint ventures, and acquisitions. Informational integration among ports is a new decisional perspective in the port domain. The recognition of this decision-making situation targets strategies requiring a comprehensive study on factors that enable port integration. A case study is an empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within real life context, especially when the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clearly evident. This chapter weighs the importance of multiple port cases to support informational integration with extant literature.
