企业知识整合活动对信息系统吸收的影响研究

Effects of knowledge integration activities on organizational assimilation of information systems:an empirical investigation

企业信息系统必须与其业务活动紧密结合才能获得竞争优势。那么,信息技术在组织中的内化与吸收程度就是信息系统成功、乃至提高企业竞争绩效的关键环节。本文借助企业知识理论来分析组织层面复杂信息系统吸收的驱动因素,探索并归纳涉及到组织内外部的三类跨层次、跨职能的知识整合活动以及影响它们的组织制度环境,从而构建较为完整的信息系统吸收过程模型及相关研究假设。结合问卷调查的实证方法,作者采用结构方程模型来验证理论模型,从而为企业提供更加切实的实践指导与管理建议。

The potential business value of information systems cannot be fully realized until they are extensively assimilated in an organization, success cannot be claimed until technology assimilation is ultimately achieved by the organization. This paper draws on knowledge - based theories of the firm to explain the important of three knowledge integration activities in achieving higher levels of IT assimilation within an organization. Survey data are utilized to test a nomologieal network of relationships among IT strategic vision, these knowledge activities and the extent of organizational assimilation of information systems. Our findings also offer guidance to management and IT practitioners.
