Essays on Impact of Information Technology

چکیده
Value derived from IT in terms of its impact on performance is contingent on the presence of many other synergistic factors. This paper provides a comprehensive analytical survey of research literature about different complementary organizational assets that when coupled with IT can lead to higher firm performance. It attempts to provide a useful list of organizational variables that should be considered by IS researchers who are interested in investigating whether interactions between IT and different organizational assets/factors can explain more precisely the relationship between IT investments and firm performance. We not only describe the state of research in the important area of IT-related intangible assets but also provide analytical reasoning and insights to explain the various findings and to help researchers and practitioners attain a comprehensive understanding of the topic expeditiously. For each organizational factor that we point out, we suggest various avenues of future academic research to further improve our understanding of how investments in that factor complement IT investments.
