“…This dynamism reflects the level of changes that occur and the consequent need for the firm to respond to them quickly (Nevo & Wade, 2011). Mixed results as to the role of dynamism on the relation between IT and performance are also found in the literature (Stoel & Muhanna, 2009;examples: Protogerou et al, 2012).…”

“…Given the complexity of the phenomenon of "IT value" for business (Stoel & Muhanna, 2009;Fink, 2011) for research that tests its impact on performance, some variables related to the industry's characteristics are considered moderators: the firm's size and age (lifespan), environmental dynamism (level of changes in the sector), and the industry (trade/manufacturing, services).…”

“…The business value of Information Technology (IT) has been investigated for more than 30 years, predominating in research that seeks to identify an association between IT resources (or investments) and firm performance (Stoel & Muhanna, 2009;Masli et al, 2011). Because of the mixed results of this approach (Liang et al, 2010;Wiengarten et al, 2013), a recent line of investigations have fomented the use of the concept "IT Capabilities," in place of IT individual resources (Hartono et al, 2010;Chen & Tsou, 2012).…”

“…Research that incorporates these research aspects (capabilities and performance level) give initial support in comprehending the value of IT capabilities at a level below the firm, including organizational processes and capabilities (Tallon & Kraemer, 2007;Chen & Tsou, 2012), despite other studies utilizing firm-level performance indicators to evaluate IT's indirect impact (Stoel & Muhanna, 2009). Most recently, the literature has presented distinct results as to IT's role in business, mainly, when RBT is used to understand the "IT value" phenomenon (Liang et al, 2010;Masli et al, 2011).…”

Resumo: Considerando as demandas da Teoria Baseada em Recursos (TBR) e da literatura de Sistemas de Informação (SI) quanto à captação do valor da TI em multiníveis de desempenho do negócio, este artigo objetiva identificar em que medida as Capacidades de TI impactam diretamente o Desempenho em nível de Palavras-chave: Valor da TI; Capacidades de TI; Desempenho multinível.Abstract: Considering the demands of the Resource-Based Theory (RBT) and Information Systems (IS) literature regarding the identification of IT value in multi-level business performance, this article aims to detect the extent to which IT Capabilities directly impact performance at the process level and indirectly impact performance at the company level. A survey method was adopted and applied in three research phases: i. Pre-test survey -with researchers representing IT and business areas; ii. Pilot study -with IT and business professionals, and iii. Complete study -with IT and business managers in large Brazilian organizations, according to the 2012 ranking of the largest Brazilian organizations. The measurement model was defined using the Structural Equation Modeling in the pilot study and confirmed in the complete study, with the research hypotheses tested in the structural model. The results show that IT Capabilities positively impact Process Performance, which, in turn, impacts Company-level performance. Additionally, IT Capabilities are found to have an indirect impact on Company Performance, confirming partial mediation by Performance at the Process level. The moderating effects of four variables (company size, lifespan, sector dynamism, and industry) were tested in the relationship between IT Capabilities and Process Performance, presenting null results for all four. The theoretical contributions of this research, along with its limitations and research opportunities, are provided in the discussion and conclusion of the article.

Linking Environmental Management to Environmental Performance: The Interactive Role of Industry Context

In the past, corporate sustainability scholars advocated that, for many firms, environmental management could turn into a valuable capability conferring a competitive advantage. However, little attention has been paid to the role of the industry context and its influence on the relationship between environmental management and organizational performance. In this study, we examine the effect on this relationship of three contextual variables: munificence, dynamism and complexity. Drawing on longitudinal data from 336 firms representing 30 industries, we find that munificence enhances the degree to which a firm can leverage its environmental management capabilities to improve environmental performance.
