The Effect of Complementarities Between IT and Organizational Resources on Firm Performance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The business value of IT, as measured through its impact on organizational performance, has been hard to pin down. Previous studies, employing a variety of methods, have produced mixed results. This thesis proposes a modified approach for ascertaining IT-related benefits. Based on the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm and the general systems theory (GST), this thesis develops and tests a conceptual model exploring the effect of complementarities between IT and organizational resources on firm performance. The model is being tested using data from a large scale cross-sectional survey of firms from multiple industries. The thesis also develops a framework that identifies the properties of IT and organizational resources that enhance the propensity for mutual compatibility and complementarity. This framework enables the determination of potential IT business value that, in turn, leads to better informed decisions regarding IT investments. Overall, the thesis extends the RBV to include the evolution of strategic resources, provides a tool for practitioners with which to evaluate IT benefits, and adds to the existing knowledge on the impact of IT on organizational performance.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
