Abstract:

To investigate the process of information technology(IT)impacts on firm competitiveness, an integrated process model of IT impacts on firm competitiveness is brought forward based on the process-oriented view, the resource-based view and the complementary resource view, which is comprised of an IT conversion process, an information system(IS)adoption process, an IS use process and a competition process.The application capability of IT plays the critical role, which determines the efficiency and effectiveness of the aforementioned four processes.The process model of IT impacts on firm competitiveness can also be used to explain why, under what situations and how IT can generate positive organizational outcomes, as well as theoretical bases for further empirical study.
