Information systems strategic alignment---the fit between business strategic orientation and information systems (IS) strategic orientation---is an important concept. This study measured business strategic orientation, IS strategic orientation, and IS strategic alignment, and investigated their implications for perceived IS effectiveness and business performance. Analyses of data gathered in a mail survey of North American financial services and manufacturing firms indicated that 1) business strategic orientation, IS strategic orientation, and IS strategic alignment are modeled best by utilizing holistic, ‘systems’ approaches instead of dimension-specific, ‘bivariate’ approaches, 2) three generic IS strategic orientations can be detected, 3) user information satisfaction does not capture important strategic aspects of IS effectiveness, 4) IS strategic alignment is a better predictor of IS effectiveness than is strategic orientation, and 5) business strategic orientation, IS strategic alignment, and IS effectiveness have positive impacts on business performance.

ICT Impact on SMEs Performance

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of information technology (IT) competency on knowledge management processes and the relations among IT competency, knowledge management processes and performance outcomes.Design/methodology/approach – The study uses survey data from 162 managers and structural equation modeling to assess the links between IT competency, knowledge management processes and firm performance.Findings – First, this study finds that IT competency plays a critical role in knowledge management processes. Second, knowledge management processes are directly related to market performance, which, in turn, is directly related to financial performance. Third, no direct relation exists between IT competency and firm performance. Knowledge management processes mediate the relation between IT competency and market performance.Research limitations/implications – The research is cross‐sectional, so cause‐effect relations cannot be definitively inferred from the results.Practical i...

Developing e-commerce marketing capabilities and efficiencies for enhanced performance in business-to-business export ventures

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to aggregate previous research that adopts the resource‐based view (RBV) to examine whether information technology (IT) and organizational resources have significant effect on firm performanceDesign/methodology/approach – A framework that includes direct and indirect‐effect models is proposed A meta‐analysis was conducted on 42 published empirical studies to examine how different factors in the RBV affect firm performanceFindings – First, it was found that the mediated model that includes organizational capabilities as mediators between organizational resources and firm performance can better explain the value of IT than the direct‐effect model without organizational capabilities Second, technology resources can improve efficiency performance but may not enhance financial performance directly Third, internal capabilities affect performance but it is external capabilities that affect financial performanceResearch limitations/implications – The limitation of meta
