Tóm tắt

PurposeDespite the existing literature on the impact of IT capability and innovation capabilities, this study examines how IT-enabled dynamic capability dimensions impact on firm innovative capability to achieve organizational performance.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the dynamic capability theory, this study empirically investigates the entire chain of relationships among dynamic capability, innovative capability, organizational performance and turbulent environment.FindingsUsing the data from 254 Chinese firms, this study reveals IT-enabled dynamic capability dimensions have positive and significant relationship with firm innovative capability types, which in turn have significant relationship with organizational performance except the process innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the growing information systems literature and also suggests theoretical and practical implications.Originality/valueThis study examines IT-enabled dynamic capability with firm innovative capability types, which has received limited attention in the past.
