Researches on the business value of IT and ICT in the past has been focused on static content researches such as study of IT ICT itself and study of the relationship between IT ICT and performance. In recent years, however, the need for discussions on the "process of IT and ICT making economic value (performance) difference between companies" is growing. In particular, there is a need for an framework to analyze the process of qualitative change (progress, evolution, improvement) of IT and ICT affecting the competitive advantage. In this paper, we present a framework for analyzing the process of creating competitive advantage by IT ICT and show the structure of how IT and ICT resources lead to the creation of competitive advantage. In order to achieve these objectives, this paper proposes a framework for the process of creating competitive advantage by linking IT and ICT related resources, value activities, value chains, and business processes.

This study examined the effect of market sensing capability and information technology competency (IT competency) on innovation and competitive advantage in small and medium-sized tour operators (SMTOs). This research was conducted on the SMTOs located in three major cities for a tourism destination, meeting, and exhibition in East Java, Indonesia. 175 directors or managers of SMTOs were sampled using the purposive sampling technique. Data was obtained from directors or managers using a structured questionnaire. The empirical data was then analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This study showed that market sensing capability positively and significantly affects innovation. Furthermore, competitive advantage was positively and significantly affected by market sensing capability. Although results showed that IT competence positively and significantly affects innovation, in contrast, it did not positively and significantly affect competitive advantage. These research findings suggest that market sensing capability and innovation have a substantial role in creating a competitive advantage for SMTOs facing the Revolution Industry 4.0 and a dynamic environment. Thus, innovation for SMTOs can be achieved by optimizing the role of market sensing capability and IT competency. However, this study also suggests that the capability or competence will not have any impact on competitive advantage if neither is optimized.

Increasing competitive pressure, the constantly accelerating transformation of the economy, and a stronger focus on value creation have initiated the search for sustainable sources of competitive advantage in organizations. In this context, the concept of treating organizational knowledge as a valuable strategic resource has become quite popular recently. Knowledge has become the most critical component in the struggle for sustained competitive advantage and knowledge management (KM) has also been described for its possible role in creating sustainable competitive advantage. In order to examine the contingency between KM resources, KM strategies, and KM performance of organizations, a contingency model of KM, which is based on resource-based theory as well as knowledge-based theory, is developed from the information systems and strategic management literature in order to assess the following questions: (i) What KM resources affect the organization's KM strategies? (ii) Is there a relationship between KM strategies and organizational performance enhanced by KM? A detailed exploratory analysis of survey responses from 79 Korean companies provides the following significant findings: (i) This study found support for the proposed contingency model of KM; (ii) The organization's KM strategies are determined by social resources and its capabilities; (iii) An organization with a culture-based KM strategy is more likely to enhance organizational KM performance than an organization with a technology-based KM strategy.

This paper is mainly associated with setting out an agenda for the transformation of security by creating a new framework for a security system, which can maximise its effectiveness. Noticeably, this research shows empirically that crimes are getting a major cost to organisations, which if reduced by security and investigations could reap substantial rewards to the finances of an organisation. However, the problem is that the delivery of security is frequently delegated to personnel (e.g. security guards) with limited training, inadequate education, and no real commitment to professionalism - 'sub-prime' security, finally causing security failures. Therefore, if security can be enhanced to reduce the crime cost, this will produce financial benefits to business, and consequently could produce a competitive advantage. For this, the paper basically draws upon Luke's theoretical framework for deconstructing 'power' into three dimensions. Using this three-dimensional approach, the paper further sets out a model of how security can be enhanced, utilising a new Security Risk Management (SRM) model, and how can this SRM model create competitive advantage in business. Finally, this paper ends with the six strategies needed to enhance the quality of security: refiguring as SRM, Professional Staff, Accurate Measurement, Prevention, Cultural Change, and Metrics.

Recently many companies began to realize their visions for the sustainable growth with the advent of CSV(Creating Shared Values). Michael E. Porter, a Harvard Professor, claims that placing social value creation at the core of business strategy has the potential to uncover big opportunities for individual companies and that shared value can play a significant role in increasing competitive advantages while fostering social prosperity. In consequence, the various researches have illustrated how to get the opportunity for competitive advantages from building a social value proposition into corporate strategy, and considerable studies have been promoted heavily from the managerial perspective. However, due to the lack of capability converging information technology with business strategy, any research effort to identify technological or Internet-related issues and to link the issues to CSV does not exist. With Korean being a Internet leading country, the demands of researches analyzing core technology, information, and service utilizing Internet are rapidly growing. The study aims to find out Internet-related enablers for CSV. This paper describes the concepts and features of CSV, identifies emerging Internet-related issues toward the opportunity for competitive advantage, and then depicts the rigorous research endeavors in the areas of Internet information, technology, and services. As a result, 11 papers presented and selected as the outstanding papers at APIC-IST 2014 handle the issues to be brought together, which include: Wireless and Sensor Network, Image Processing and HCI, Big Data and Business Intelligence, Security & Privacy in Internet, SNS & Communication, Smart-Learning and e-Learning, and Internet Business Strategy. The study finally recommends indispensible terms for substantially vitalizing CSV.

2000년대 이후 많은 한국의 건설 및 엔지니어링 기업들은 급속하게 변화하는 동적환경에서 경쟁 심화, 높은 리스크, 경기 침체, 실적 부진, 이윤 감소 등의 어려움에 직면해 있다. 이러한 도전을 극복하기 위해서는 패러다임 변화에 적극적으로 대응할 수 있는 특별한 역량의 확보가 요구된다. 그 중 하나가 프로젝트 포트폴리오 기반에서 기업 내 조직자원을 적극적이고 통합적으로 관리할 수 있는 프로젝트관리 역량이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 기업 내 프로젝트 조직자원의 동적역량이 기업의 경쟁우위와 성과에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 조사하는 데 있다. 국내 건설 및 엔지니어링 기업의 프로젝트 조직에서 근무하는 직원을 대상으로 설문 자료를 분석하고 구조방정식 모형과 경로분석 등의 통계분석을 통해서 이를 실증하였다. VRIN 조직자원과 조직 동적역량간의 영향을 분석한 결과, VRIN 특성의 프로젝트 조직자원을 보유하고 있다면 프로젝트 조직의 동적역량에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 프로젝트 조직의 동적역량도 기업의 경영성과를 개선하고 경쟁우위를 창출하는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 조직자원은 기업의 경쟁우위와 성과에 직접적인 영향을 끼치며 조직 동적역량이 VRIN 속성의 조직자원과 경쟁우위 사이에서 매개효과의 영향이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구가 학문적으로는 자원기반관점과 동적역량관점을 통합하는 입장에서 프로젝트 조직자원이 기업의 경쟁우위에 미치는 영향을 실증하고 프로젝트관리의 학문적 영역을 확장하는데 기여하였다. 실무적으로는, 건설 및 엔지니어링 산업에서 경쟁우위를 확보하기 위하여 기업들이 전략적으로 어떻게 프로젝트 조직자원을 활용해야 하는지에 대한 구체적인 방안을 제시하였다.
