Measuring the Performance of Information Systems: A Functional Scorecard (2005, background): “IS capabilities are integrated sets of hardware, software, human skills, and management processes that serve to translate financial investments in IS into IS performance [17, 23, 42, 83, 99, 1 1 1, 1 13].”
Inside the adaptive enterprise: an information technology capabilities perspective on business process agility (2008, methodology): “Technical IT Capabilities: Hardware compatibility Systems interoperability and integration, seamless access via common user interface 4 [12,19] Software modularity Rapid software development, reusable code, software portability across systems, ability to handle different data formats 4 [12,19]”
The impact of IT capabilities on firm performance: The mediating roles of absorptive capacity and supply chain agility (2013, neutral): “Specifically, a flexible IT infrastructure is characterized by (1) connectivity, or the connections between any IT component and other components within the firm or with channel partners; (2) compatibility, or the ability to share any type of information, such as data, video, image, text, and audio,”
A Control Theory Perspective on Agile Methodology Use and Changing User Requirements (2009, background): “The importance of flexibility in software development processes—so that they can be more responsive to requirements changes—is underscored in a significant body of research (e.g., Byrd and Turner 2000, Duncan 1995, Gefen and Keil 1998, Lee and Xia 2005, MacCormack et al. 2001).”
A methodology for construct development in MIS research (2005, methodology): “This can be accomplished by testing important strategic characteristics using either a one-sample w 2 test (Byrd & Turner, 2000) or where appropriate, a one-sample t -test (Rainer & Harrison, 1993).”
Complexity of Information Systems Development Projects: Conceptualization and Measurement Development (2005, background): “As application systems are developed under the constraints of the existing IT infrastructure and IT architecture of the organization, changes in IT infrastructure and IT architecture cause significant uncertainty in ISDPs [14, 23, 77].”
Gaining Agility through IT Personnel Capabilities: The Mediating Role of IT Infrastructure Capabilities (2007, background): “Given the rapid rate of technological change, IT personnel require more varied and in-depth technical skills (Byrd and Turner, 2000; Lee et al., 1995; Ross et al., 1996).”
Information technology, operational, and management competencies for supply chain agility: Findings from case studies (2011, background): “IT flexibility provides support to the organizational supply chain to prepare for unexpected market changes and conditions without increased cost or time (Byrd and Turner, 2000).”
Information Technology and the Performance of the Customer Service Process: A Resource-Based Analysis (2005, background): “The primary constituents of IT infrastructure are (1) computing platform (hardware and operating systems), (2) communications network, (3) critical shared data, and (4) core data processing applications (Byrd and Turner 2000).”
Using Enterprise Architecture Standards in Managing Information Technology (2006, background): “IT infrastructure plays an important role in enabling the sharing of information and expensive resources and connecting to business partners as part of the extended enterprise [14, 15, 25, 50, 58].”
