IT Innovation Persistence: An Exploratory Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study introduces absorptive capacity as a necessary and sufficient condition for systematic IT innovation (ITI). Looking at the characteristics of firms who systematically innovate with IT, we argue that ITI is a cumulative and pathdependent capability that is not easily replicated. Companies that have developed the ITI capability and attained the ITI status among their peers are likely to maintain this status over time, thus demonstrating that ITI is a sustained capability. We tested our proposition with cross-sectional data of large US firms that have attained the ITI status from 1997-2004. The results of our exploratory analysis seem to strongly support our position.
