Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers and practitioners regard information technology (IT) as a competitive tool. However, current knowledge on IT capability mechanisms that affect firm performance remains unclear. Based on the dynamic capabilities perspective and the view of a hierarchy of capabilities, this article proposes a model to examine how IT capabilities (i.e., flexible IT infrastructure and IT assimilation) affect firm performance through absorptive capacity and supply chain agility in the supply chain context. Survey data show that absorptive capacity and supply chain agility fully mediate the influences of IT capabilities on firm performance. In addition to the direct effects, absorptive capacity also has indirect effects on firm performance by shaping supply chain agility. We conclude with implications and suggestions for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent surge of interest in “digital transformation” is changing the business landscape and posing several challenges, both organizational and sectoral. This transformation involves the application of digital technology in all aspects of business, and enables organizations to create new products and services, and to find more efficient ways of doing business. Moreover, the digital transformation is happening within and across organizations of all types and in every industry, producing a disruptive innovation that can break down the barriers between people and organizations, and help create more adaptive processes. In the information age, it is imperative for organizations to develop IT-related capabilities that allow them to leverage the potential of digital technologies. Due to the pervasive effects of this transformation on processes, firms and industries, both scholars and practitioners are interested in better understanding the key mechanisms behind the emergence and evolution of the digital business transformation. This book presents a collection of research papers focusing on the relationships between technologies (e.g., digital platforms, AI, blockchain, etc.), processes (e.g., decision-making, co-creation, financial, compliance, etc.), and organizations (e.g., smart organizations, digital ecosystems, Industry 4.0, collaborative networked organizations, etc.), which have been categorized into three major areas: organizing, managing and controlling. It also provides critical insights into how the digital transformation is enhancing organizational processes and firms’ performance through an exploration and exploitation of internal resources, and through the establishment of external connections and linkages. The plurality of views offered makes this book particularly relevant for users, companies, scientists, and governments. The content of the book is based on a selection of the best papers (original double-blind peer-reviewed contributions) presented at the annual conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, which was held in Naples, Italy in September 2019.

Download or read book Dynamic Capabilities written by Constance E. Helfat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating, adapting to, and exploiting change is inherently entrepreneurial. To survive and prosper under conditions of change, firms must develop the “dynamic capabilities” to create, extend, and modify the ways in which they operate. The capacity of an organization to create, extend, or modify its resource base is vital. Since the concept of dynamic capabilities was first introduced, much research has elaborated the initial idea. This important book by Constance Helfat and her team of leading scholars provides a timely focus on in-depth examples of corporate dynamic capabilities. Examining these in the different contexts of alliances, acquisitions, and management, the book gives students and researchers a succinct, up-to-date definition of dynamic capabilities and the strategic management theories around them.

Download or read book IT Capabilities and Firm Performance written by Dale Stoel and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous empirical studies examining the relationship between IT capability and accounting-based measures of firm performance report mixed results. We argue that extant research (1) has relied on aggregate overall measures of the firm's IT capability, ignoring the specific type and nature of IT capability; and (2) has not fully considered important contextual (environmental) conditions that influence the IT capability-firm performance relationship. Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV), we advance a contingency perspective and propose that IT capabilities' impact on firm resources is contingent on the "fit" between the type of IT capability/resource a firm possesses and the demands of the environment (industry) in which it competes. Specifically, using publicly available rankings as proxies for two types of IT capabilities (internally-focused and externally-focused capabilities), we empirically examines the degree to which three industry characteristics (dynamism, munificence, and complexity) influence the impact of each type of IT capability on measures of financial performance. After controlling for prior performance, the findings provide general support for the posited contingency model of IT impact. The implications of these findings on practice and research are discussed.

The study employed primary data collected using questionnaires and using a sample size of 50 respondents to achieve its objectives. The response rate was 74%. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis methods. The study serves to inform business managers that firms should do much more than merely invest in IT, they should identify ways to create a firm-wide IT capability by creating IT relationship capability, IT human resource capability and an IT infrastructure capability.

Download or read book Innovation Value of Information Technology written by Mahesh Kumar Ramamani and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though information technology adoptions have been always referred to as innovations in firms, much of the business value literature has concentrated on the tangible and immediately measurable impacts of information technology (it) adoptions. This study aims to explore the impact of information technology investments on the innovativeness of a firm. We assess the impact of information technology as a complement to the commitment shown by firms towards innovation. We explain that the organizational commitments to innovation are of three different types--financial, managerial and temporal. We show how the availability of information technologies may help the firm leverage tangible value from the various types of commitments that it has made to innovation. Most studies in innovation are in the context of either product or process based innovations. In this study, we consider the firm as a platform where both process and product innovations happen concomitantly and consider hence capabilities of a firm that are related both types of innovation together. The results of our analyses confirm and validate the vital role played by information technology investments of a firm on its innovation characteristics and behavior. Not only does the it intensity of a firm complement the various types of commitments that a firm makes towards innovation but also plays a significant role in changing the innovation behavior of the firm. The research has both academic and managerial implications. Academically, it tries to complement both the marketing literature and information systems literature. It attempts to complement the business value of it literature by explaining the innovation value of it investments. At the same time, it also tries to position it Intensity of a firm as a key antecedent to innovation in firms in the new product development literature. The study also clarifies to the manager the conditions that facilitate and lead to effective innovations within the firm both at the process and at the product level. It also provides appropriate guidance on successful innovation strategies for the firm based on the industry it belongs to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the resource-based view, sources of competitive advantage begin with the notion that differences in performance are fundamentally due to the distinctive resources and capabilities that are valuable, rare, inimitable and nonsubstitutable (Barney, 2007; Wu et al., 2006). Information technology (IT) as a resource of the company has the increasing importance for the researches and managers. Research on the IT value within organizations and firms' IT capabilities have expanded over the past decade (Pérez-López et. al., 2012). Tippins and Sohi (2003) in their study defined IT capability as the existence of IT infrastructure, IT knowledge and IT operations within company. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of IT capability on firms' innovativeness and the relationship among IT capability, firms' innovativeness and business performance. The study uses survey data from managers and structural equation modelling to assess the relationships between IT capability, firms' innovativeness and business performance. This study finds that both IT capability and innovation capability play important role in achieving greater business performance. The findings indicate that managers should focus on development of the IT function within company, taking into account importance of IT investment as well as IT knowledge, and promotion of innovativeness.
