“…Nevertheless, there is a controversy regarding the definition, dimension and measurement of performance (Santos and Brito, 2012). In the literature, scholars have measured the return on investment of the firms from two perspectives: financial and non-financial (Chan and Chong, 2012;Ilmudeen and Bao, 2018). Financial performance not only relies wholly on the firm's efficiency itself but also on the market where the firm operates (Felipe et al, 2019).…”

“…firm size, firm age and industry) have been added to reduce the variance in the FP that might be affected by these variables. Higher financial and labour resources owned by large organisations may lead to variances in FP (Ilmudeen and Bao, 2018). Firm age would affect the performance of a firm because older firms may have sustainable inter-firm relationships, bargaining power in the current market and the popularity of internal routines (Ravichandran et al, 2005).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of cloud computing adoption in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), further, to measure the effect of cloud computing adoption on cloud-supported firm performance through enhancing organisational agility. Design/methodology/approach The research model is developed by combining two popular theoretical models, namely, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and the technology–organisation–environment (TOE) framework. Data are collected from 372 SMEs to test the model. The strengths of widely used structural equation modelling (SEM) are applied to analyse the data. Findings This study reveals that the significant predictors of cloud computing adoption are performance expectancy; effort expectancy; absorptive capacity; data security and privacy; and perceived trust. Also, cloud computing adoption positively influences firm performance directly and through organisational agility. The results of importance–performance map analysis indicate that effort expectancy falls in the critical zone, which needs to be improved. Originality/value This research is one of few that blends the strengths of UTAUT and TOE framework. The research outcomes yield noteworthy suggestions to cloud providers, managers and government policymakers on ways of motivating the spread of cloud computing in developing countries.

“…The RBV highlights the managing IT allows effective execution of IT and business strategies to realize the superior alignment and then achieves superior firm performance. Managing IT is the firm’s IT capability to produce value from IT investment and IT as a firm’s resource can be managed thoroughly to realize firm performance (Ilmudeen and Yukun, 2018). Further, there is less agreement that IT resources solely can create business value (Peng et al , 2016).…”

“…Managing IT entails the activities such as planning, organizing, controlling and directing an organization’s use of IT (Y. Wang et al , 2015). Managing IT has received significant concern among information system (IS) scholars and executives (Ilmudeen and Yukun, 2018; Lowry and Wilson, 2016; Mithas et al , 2012; Xu et al , 2016). Similarly, managing IT investment include processes such as developing, operating, implementing and maintaining financial controls over IT investments and expenses in line with IT strategic plans (National Computing Centre, 2005).…”

Purpose Though prior studies have attempted to explore the various effects of managing information technology (IT) investment on firm performance, the mechanism through which management of IT impact on firm performance rests less clear. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of managing IT and business-IT alignment on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the resource-based theory and process theory, this study examines how managing IT impacts business-IT alignment and firm performance. The primary survey of 182 responses from IT and business managers from Sri Lanka was empirically examined. Findings The findings reveal that managing IT has a positive and strong impact on business-IT alignment and firm performance. Further, business-IT alignment partially mediates between managing IT investment and firm performance relationships. Research limitations/implications Today, businesses have invested a massive amount of money in IT investment, and the return on this investment is always a serious concern for managers and industry practitioners. This study finding proposes meaningful insights on managing IT, business-IT alignment and firm performance. Originality/value This study opens up the black box on the above nomological linkage and contributes to the literature by extending the theoretical lenses while suggesting insightful and practical implications.

“…The acceleration of information dissemination and integration between departments was a form of IT supports for businesses [19], [47]. Also, support for governance and administration was another support from IT in its business [48]. The impact of using IT could also make companies more responsive (agility).…”

The concept of Dynamic Capabilities (DC) has been popular for almost two decades. Dynamic capabilities were the ability of an organization to adapt to a changing environment. Dynamic capabilities are organizations that managed resources and competencies, both internally and externally, would survive with environmental changes. Many studies have reviewed the concept of dynamic capabilities. Some studies attempted to investigate how dynamic capabilities impact business, dynamic capabilities, and dynamic capabilities. However, limited research suggests how to measure an organization's dynamic capabilities, especially the capabilities of resources that drive an organization to have dynamic capabilities. Therefore, this study tries to provide a proposed method for measuring organizational resources' dynamic capabilities, especially IT. Information technology was chosen because there was a general belief that IT could strengthen the organization's position in business competition. The model was developed with a conceptual research and case study approach. Conceptual research was carried out to develop a theoretical framework through the study of literature. At the same time, the case study was carried out for model validation. The proposed method was adopted from the IT portfolio management and portfolio mapping. Based on the validation processes, the model proposed was suitable for measuring IT resources' capabilities and describing how IT resources could support dynamic capabilities. The result shows that more dynamic IT resources could improve the dynamic capabilities of an organization.
