Title - Influence of Information
Management Capability on Firm's Performance- An Empirical Study
Introduction
IT
trade value denotes the influence of IT on firm’s performance. This report will
create a model to understand the connection among IT and firm performance by
utilizing the Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm, dynamic capabilities
theory, complementarily theory and organizational culture theory. Firstly, this
report will propose and test a dynamic IT performance paradigm, which will define
the capability to incorporate, build and reorganize IT-based means and
capabilities to modify to quick-altering atmosphere. Considering four
constituents of IT infrastructure, human resources, IT-enabled insubstantial
assets and vibrant IT potential will demonstrate to be an effective and
consistent tool that will describe firm performance. Secondly, this report will
discover that dynamic IT capability and firm beliefs will together forecast the
firm performance and will influence both academic research and management
practice. Ideally, this research will incorporate several concepts to develop
an inclusive IT business value model; essentially and will provide best in
business with valuable guidance on IT/IS strategy and IT investment management
processes.
Research Background
Does
bigger stock in information technology (IT) result in enhanced organizational
performance? Information Systems (IS) researchers have been arguing on this
matter over the preceding two eras. IT business value exploration, a key branch
in IS literature, inspects the influence of IT stocks on firm performance
(Melville, Kraemer &Gurbaxani, 2004). Even though the efficiency irony,
that is, the proposal that bigger expenses on computers do not result in
enhanced production (Brynjolfsson, 2003; Brynjolfsson & Hitt, 2006), has
been evidently disproved (Dedrick, Gurbaxani & Kraemer, 2003), researchers
are till now finding it hard to define how IT increases firm performance
(Bharadwaj, 2000). Latest meta-analytic works on IT business value figures out
two ways for future exploration: use of the Resource-Based View (RBV) of the
firm to describe IT business value (Melville et al, 2004) and additional to
research recognizing management methods that may match IT in creating business
value (Dedrick et al, 2003; Kohli & Devaraj, 2003). Therefore, this report
targets to focus these two fields to well describe IT business value.
The
Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm postulates that comparative benefit and
greater firm performance are based on selecting synergistic collaborations of
means that are exclusive, valued, rare and hard to replicate (Barney, 1991).
Dynamic capabilities theory, an extended version of the RBV, states that
regeneration is further more significant instead of just resource gathering in
determining competitive benefit and performance (Pavlou & Sawy, 2006).
Moreover, modern works on IT business value debate that RBV and dynamic
capabilities theory can be utilized to clarify how stock in IT can be converted
into firm performance (Melville et al, 2004; Wade & Hulland, 2004).
Embracing the two concepts, this study improves the theory of dynamic IT
proficiency so as to understand IT business value. At this time dynamic IT
proficiency refers to a company’s capability to incorporate, shape and
reorganize IT-based means and capabilities to modify to quick-altering
atmosphere.
Along
with the use of RBV and dynamic capabilities theories, the part of
complementary management methods in IT business value is additional significant
exploration field to describe IT business value. Latest experimental study has
recognized numerous of managerial, planned and ecological aspects that could
affect the influence of IT stock on performance. For example, Brynjolfsson and
Hitt (2000) examined that complementary managerial designs and human resources
management methods influence IT investment payoff. Barua et al (2006) debated
that managerial remuneration of IT stock is exploited when IT, decision
authority, business procedures and inducements are altered in a synchronized
way. Bresnahan et al. (2002) assumed that the amalgamation of IT, redesign of
organization and novel products and services impact the production.
Many
writers had suggested that culture is an effective organizational aspect or
means (Cabrera & Barajas, 2001; Chandler, Keller & Lyon, 2000). Schein
(2002) debates organizational culture gives assurance for clarifying the
dynamics of why and how companies develop modify and few times be unsuccessful.
Subjective proofs and case studies display that organizational culture is a
main aspect in defining a company’s competence to relocate its IT resources to
enhance firm performance (Serafeimidis & Smithson, 2000). Along with it,
conceptual studies propose that organizational culture is as serious in
approving and achieving profits from new IT (Sawy, 1985; Zammuto &
O'Connor, 2002).
Regardless
of the possible significance of organizational culture in making IT stock into
firm performance, there is slight experimental study on the issue. As a matter of
fact, exploration on culture in common has been rare in IS literature. In a
latest topic of IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management dedicated to
cultural topics and IT, publishing supervisors. Martinsons and Davison (2003)
considers the motives why there’s inadequate literature inspecting culture in
IS. They describe that culture is hard to research (Schein, 2004) and hence IS
researchers have a propensity to sidestep examining cultural matters
(Martinsons & Davison, 2003). Along with it, Martinsons and Davison (2003)
demanded for concepts to clarify and forecast the impact of cultural aspects on
IT management. In an endeavor to fill a loop that is recognized by several
writers such as Wade and Hulland (2004) and Melville and colleagues (2004),
this report inspects the part of organizational culture in the association
among IT and firm performance. Depiction on the Resource-Based View of the firm
and dynamic capabilities theory, it particularly inspects the association
between dynamic IT capability, organizational culture and firm performance.
Research Objectives:
Ø To
analyze the influence of vibrant IT ability and managerial background on
organizational performance.
Ø To
study the association between the potential of IT and organizational
performance.
Ø To
inspect the impact of associating potential of IT and managerial background on
organizational performance.
