“…The above data employed in SEM were further adopted for conducting the fsQCA, which applied the necessity and sufficient conditions for the determinations based on memberships from 0 to 1 [43]. Recently, the fsQCA has been used by many investigations in the domain of information systems [44,45] to respond to the emerging multiple realities and restrictions of symmetric statistical tests (i.e., the regression-based methods). The fsQCA consists of three subsequent steps: (1) the assignment of fuzzy-set membership scores to cases (also known as calibration), (2) the identification of necessary conditions and (3) the identification of sufficient configurations [46].…”

“…Previous investigations of the subject are commonly dependent on regression-based methodology and regard innovation performance mainly as outcomes of numerous individual factors. By using the fsQCA, the combination of IT capabilities and digital transformation factors generating innovation performance can be analyzed, therefore, the fsQCA provides a way of coping with high causal complexity [43,45]. The fsQCA provides results with significant theoretical insights concerning the mechanism for forming innovation performance.…”

With the development of national strategies (such as Industrial 4.0 and Made in China 2025), how to build digital enterprises and cultivate innovation capabilities of enterprises has become a critical problem to Chinese manufacturing enterprises. However, the literature on the specific path of information technology (IT) capabilities to the innovation of enterprises is still lacking a body of relevant empirical research. In particular, it has not yet thought to explore the information technology capabilities, digital transformation, and then innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises. By performing a questionnaire investigation for 138 Chinese manufacturing enterprises, this study adopted both a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore the set relations of the conjunctions and conditions and the statistical associations by studying the relationships among information technology capabilities, digital transformation and innovation performance. The results show that the positive impacts of information technology capabilities on the process innovation performance and the digital transformation, as well as the positive impacts of digital transformation on both process innovation performance and product innovation performance. Specifically, digital transformation takes on a new function of partial mediation of IT capabilities and process innovation performance, and digital transformation functions as a complete mediator for IT capabilities and product innovation performance. The combinations of causal recipes related to innovation performance are provided by a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Through the analyses of SEM and fsQCA, this research develops the formation mechanisms of both process innovation performance and product innovation performance, and provides guidance for both IT and innovation management of manufacturing enterprises in China.Sustainability 2019, 11, 5946 2 of 17 and automation in organizational operation by using digital techniques, like cloud computing, big data, and the social platforms (Bharadwaj et al., 2013).). Enterprises which have realized DT can rapidly achieve product innovation and process innovation and meet personalized and changeable demands of customers, thus forming sustainably developing competitiveness. For example, the Haier Group building itself, a digital enterprise by means of Teamcenter (a full-life cycle management platform of model-based enterprise (MBE)) improves efficiency for new product development and supports global design collaboration and the operation of its supply chain. Therefore, how to build digital enterprises and cultivate innovation capabilities of enterprises has become an urgent practical problem for traditional manufacturing enterprises as they take the road to Industry 4.0.The existing literature [6][7][8][9] generally considered that information technology or digital technology can promote firm innovation (The innovation performance in this research mainly refers t...

“…More recently, scholars have confirmed this relationship in the B2B social media context (Siamagka et al 2015). Accordingly, we expect that enhancing business performance will be a determinant of post-adoption decisions (Venkatesh et al 2011) because social media in general and Web 2.0 technologies in particular fall within the communication technologies' umbrella (Park et al 2017).…”

From Acceptance to Adaptive Acceptance of Social Media Policy Change: a Set-Theoretic Analysis of B2B SMEs

Drawing on theories of mindfulness, this paper aims to introduce the concept of adaptive acceptance of social media policy change in the context of Business-to-Business (B2B) Small-and-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) based in the South East of England. The paper adopts a quasi-experimental design based on the analysis of multiple cases with each case replicating prior findings either literally or theoretically. The study uses a mix of survey, interview, and electronic data informed by an innovative, settheoretic approach to distill commonalities within positive cases and differences between positive and negative cases. It shows that attracting new customers and raising the company's profile are necessary pre-requisites for adaptive acceptance of social media policy changes. In addition, these two conditions combined with learning to use social media effortlessly are jointly sufficient for adaptive acceptance. Theoretical, practical, and methodological implications are discussed.

“…A configurational perspective offers such a framework. It was introduced more broadly to the information systems field by El Sawy et al (2010), and used by scholars such as Henfridsson and Bygstad (2013), Henningsson and Kettinger (2016), and Park et al (2017). Such a perspective is particularly well suited to offer holistic and systemic explanations for phenomena.…”

Leaving the Shadow: A Configurational Approach to Explain Post-identification Outcomes of Shadow IT Systems

2020

With the advent of end-user and cloud computing, business users can implement information systems for work practices on their own -either from scratch or as extensions to existing systems. The resulting information systems, however, often remain hidden from managers and official IT units, and are therefore called ''shadow IT systems''. When a shadow IT system is identified, the organization has to decide on the future of this system. The study uses a configurational perspective to explain outcomes of shadow IT system identification, as well as the mechanisms and contextual conditions which bring them about. For this purpose, 27 profiles of shadow IT systems were compiled by conducting 35 interviews with respondents from different positions and industries. The analysis gives insight into six distinct context-mechanism-outcome configurations explaining four outcomes that occur after shadow IT system identification, namely phase-out, replacement, continuing as IT-managed system, and continuing as business-managed system. These results contribute to the shadow IT literature and, more broadly, IS architecture and governance streams of the IS literature. They inform IT managers when these weigh decision options for identified shadow IT systems given different contextual conditions.
