Advances in information technology (IT) have enabled firms to increasingly rely on open innovation. Although researchers and practitioners are interested in this phenomenon, there is a lack of theoretically driven research on how IT impacts organizational open innovation performance. Drawing on the strategic IT alignment perspective and related literature, we proposed a model to explain the per...

Organizations today should actively incorporate knowledge strategy (KS) into their Business Strategy (BS) as knowledge has been recognized as a strategic element in the performance of the organization. Hence, the current research hypothesis that the alignment between BS and KS has a positive effect on the organizational performance. In an attempt to explore the alignment between KS and BS, an o...

As business analytics (BA) evolves from a narrow decision support application to an enterprise capability with strategic importance today, a well-developed BA maturity model would help organizations assess their BA competency and guide them forward to achieve greater effectiveness in their BA efforts and closer alignment between business and IT. This study synthesizes and operationalizes the ex...

Earlier studies in 1980s found no causal links between IT investments and productivity, since then a growing body of research has been investigating such links at a much finer-level of analysis. Yet the results have been inconclusive. We attribute the mixed findings to an incomplete causal chain analysis, specifically the exclusion of key constructs such as strategic alignment which would allow...

Researchers argue that information technology (IT) personnel capabilities and strategic alignment are important organizational resources. Grounded in the resource-based view, this research examines the relationship between IT personnel capabilities and strategic alignment, showing how companies leverage IT effectively on the basis of complementary and co-specialized organizational resources. Th...

Recently, the importance of the information technology (IT) for effective knowledge management (KM) activities has been noted. The match of IT and KM is an important concern for executives. However, their efforts do not always yield positive organizational outcome since enough exceptions indicate that knowledge strategy and human resource management (HRM) strategy are interdependent that must b...

Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) has been a continuing top concern for IS/IT management, since the mid 1980’s. Responding to the increasing interest in SISP, researchers have developed a large number of SISP methodologies and models. However, when organisations embark on planning for their information systems, they face difficulties and usually fail to gain the expected benefits. S...

Alignment between business strategy and IS strategy is relevant to most large organizations today. We build on the literature on alignment and strategic IS planning to study patterns of antecedents that explain planning decisions. When addressing misalignment risks: Are there systematic differences in the patterns of antecedents that explain decision-making across differing strategic orientatio...
