Understanding the influence of information systems competencies on process innovation: A resource-based view (2007, background): “Ray et al. (2004) observe that if such is the case, then it is necessary, when investigating the impact of competencies on the eﬀectiveness of a business process or routine, to ﬁrst identify those competencies relevant to the context under investigation.”
Toward a subjective measurement model for firm performance (2012, background): “However, the selection of dimensions should carefully evaluate the most likely affected dimensions, as suggested by Ray et al. (2004).”
Information Technology and the Performance of the Customer Service Process: A Resource-Based Analysis (2005, background): “Ray et al. (2004) summarize the arguments that, in some cases, using resource-based theory to examine the economic implications of resources and capabilities at the firm level can lead to misleading conclusions, and that process-level analysis may be more appro- priate.”
Assessing the impact of organizational learning capability on product innovation performance: an empirical test (2008, background): “By examining innovation performance rather than overall firm performance, we avoid confounding the effect of other firm actions that do not belong to the OLC and innovation domain, or which may contribute differentially to overall performance (Ray et al., 2004).”
What Facilitates Dynamic Capabilities? The Role of Organizational Climate for Trust (2017, background): “Second, the strategy literature recognizes that organizational climates are important to competitive advantage and firm performance (e.g., Danneels, 2008; Gibson and Birkinshaw, 2004; Hansen and Wernerfelt, 1989; Ray et al., 2004).”
Resource management in big data initiatives: Processes and dynamic capabilities (2017, background): “Processes need to adapt to incorporate roles not part of earlier initiatives (Ray, Barney, & Muhanna, 2004), exempli ﬁ ed by interactions with data providers that work in dissimilar ways to previous providers.”
Leveraging Digital Technologies: How Information Quality Leads to Localized Capabilities and Customer Service Performance (2013, background): “First, our theory contributes to the literature studying the impacts of digital technologies in the context of services (Bardhan et al. 2010; Lusch and Vargo 2008; Lusch et al. 2010; Ray et al. 2004; Vargo and Lusch 2004).”
Information Technology and Business-Level Strategy: Toward an Integrated Theoretical Perspective (2013, background): “A major role of IT in competence-based theories is to support the creation and capture of value through digitally enhancing a firm's existing resources and capabilities and/or enabling new capabilities (Drnevich and Kriauciunas 2011; Piccoli and Ives 2005; Ray et al. 2004, 2005 ).”
Service-based differentiation strategies for business incubators: Exploring external and internal alignment (2012, background): “In this respect, Ray et al. (2004) argue that it is not having access to a large amount of resources but having access to critical resources that results in a competitive advantage.”
Measuring the effects of business intelligence systems: The relationship between business process and organizational performance (2008, methodology): “Drawing upon prior research we argue that IT helps organizations to create business value through its direct impact on business processes (Ray et al., 2005, 2004; Subramani, 2004; Barua and Mukhopadhyay, 2000; Tallon et al., 2000; Armstrong and Sambamurthy, 1999; Barua et al., 1995; Davenport and…”
