Investigating the Relationship between Enterprise Architecture Effort and IT Capability

아키텍팅 노력과 IT 역량 간의 관계

IT capability is one of the main research topics in MIS area. Given the finding that IT investment does not necessarily contribute to better organizational performance, the concept of IT capability was selected as an alternative antecedent variable for IT's effect on performance. A number of existing MIS papers have shown that firms with the high level of IT capability lead to a better performance. However, very little research has been done concerning the issue of how the IT capability could be enhanced. Recently, enterprise architecture effort has been emerged as an avenue to better IT management. This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between EA effort and IT capability.
