It capability and firm performance: contradictory findings and their. Paper sees if the link is still statistically significant (unlike the 90s, when proprietary information systems prevailed, the 00s are characterized by more standardized and homogeneous info systems and with rapid erp adoption and web technologies) Discusses several possible causes for the change in findings and presents a comparison in business performance between the 2 groups (it leader and control) over a period from 1991- Study from 1991-1994found that the it leader group showed significantly profits and lower costs & that the competitive advantage from it capability can be sustained over a period of time updated studies with data from the early 00s. Based on rbv of competitiveness, argues that it capability can be firm specific, rare, difficult to imitate or substitute, and can become an important source of differentiation and a competitive advantage.
