Synopsis
Excerpt from Information Technology and Corporate Strategy: A Research Perspective
There is little disagreement between researchers in information systems and organizational theory about the strategic importance of information technology. Indeed, the potential use of IT as a competitive weapon has already become a popular cliche. Literature in this area abounds with a number of frameworks for categorizing opportunities and describing the impacts of information technology. There has been a notable absence, however, of testable models based on relevant theory. As this area of research matures, there is an increasing need to move beyond frameworks and toward explanatory models of the underlying phenomena. Only this type of research will allow us to build a cumulative tradition and to make normative statements that can correctly guide.
