초록

연구목적 기존 정보시스템 연구에서 정보기술 역량과 기업 성과 간 관계에 대해 다양한 관점의 많은 연구들이 있었음에도 불구하고 아직까지 공통된 결론에 이르지는 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 전사적자원관리(ERP) 시스템 도입을 중심으로 정보기술 역량을 파악하여 정보기술 역량과 기업 성과 간 관계에 대한 재고찰을 시도한다. 연구설계/방법론/접근법 기존 관련 연구들은 1990년대나 2000년대 초반의 다소 오래된 기업사례들을 대상으로 하거나 ERP를 도입한 처리그룹과 이에 상응하는 통제그룹을 적절히 매칭하지 못한 채 양자 간 관계를 분석하고 있다는 점에서 자료 및 분석 방법 측면의 문제점을 갖고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 2000년대 후반 들어 전사적자원관리 시스템을 도입한 기업들을 중심으로 성향점수매칭(propensity score matching) 및 이중차이분석(difference-in-difference) 방법을 적용하여 전사적자원관리 시스템을 도입한 기업과 이에 상응하는 미도입 기업을 체계적으로 매칭하고 이들 간의 기간 간 성과 차이를 분석한다. 결과 본 연구 결과에 따르면 전사적자원관리 시스템 도입 기업과 미도입 기업 간 수익성 지표에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 정보시스템의 전유가 경쟁력을 제공했던 과거와 달리 최근 표준화된 정보시스템의 등장과 더불어 단순히 정보시스템 도입 만으로는 더 이상 경쟁 우위를 달성할 수 없다는 점을 시사하고 있다.

Purpose Though many information systems researchers have made various attempts to investigate the relationship between information technology capability and firm performance from diverse perspectives, we have not come to a conclusion yet with some mixed results. In this research, focusing on the adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems by firms as a proxy measure for information technology capability, we reexamine whether the association is significantly positive. Design/methodology/approach Previous research on this topic had some limitations to the samples and analysis method. Some research focused only on the 1990s or early 2000s, and other studies failed to adequately compare the impact of ERP adoption on firm performance between the treatment group and the control group. In this research, extending previous analysis approaches with the matched sample comparison of IT leaders and the control group, we attempt to apply propensity score matching in combination with difference-in-difference analysis with a sample of Korean firms that adopted ERP systems in the late 2000s. We match ERP adopters and non-adopters with propensity score matching and compare their financial performance with difference-in-difference estimation between the pre- and post-adoption periods. Findings According to our analysis, we find no positive and significant relationship between ERP adoption and firm performance in profit ratios. This research shows that, contrary to the era of proprietary information systems, standardized information systems today have no additional competitive advantages over competitors.
