چکیده:
previous research efforts suggested that firms’ overall e-business success tends to
deliver greater organizational performance. However, few researchers examined
how a firm leverages e-business investment to gain greater e-business success.
Even fewer researchers investigated the different impacts of different levels of e-
business success on organizational performance, This paper addresses a question:
what capabilities influence a firms’ ability to build e-business success and enjoy
greater organizational performance, where firm-level e-business success is
measured by e-business service capability and IT-enabled collaborative advantage;
We propose that an e-business success have a positive impact on organizational
performance. We use survey data from 40 Iranian manufacturing firms and their
B2B e-business systems participants to test our theoretical hypotheses and
proposed model. The findings suggest that both e-business service capability and
IT-enabled collaborative advantage have significant and positive impacts on
organizational performance. This finding could be translated into the important role
of a firm's application capability of e-business on e-business success. We also find
that IT-enabled collaborative advantage, compared with e-business service
capability, has a more significant and greater impact on organizational
performance. This study extends prior e-business success research by opening up
the black box of e-business success, and by distinguishing the relative impacts of e-
business service capability versus I[T-enabled collaborative advantage on
organizational performance.
