Abstract:
Purpose – Despite 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/approach – Drawing on the dynamic capability theory, this study empirically
investigates the entire chain of relationships among dynamic capability, innovative capability, organizational
performance and turbulent environment.
Findings – Using 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/implications – This study contributes to the growing information systems literature
and also suggests theoretical and practical implications.
Originality/value – This study examines IT-enabled dynamic capability with firm innovative capability
types, which has received limited attention in the past.
