讲座主要内容：
While information technology (IT) resources have been increasingly embedded in a firm’s supply chain processes, the underlying mechanisms of how IT resources improve the firm’s competitive performance remain unclear. Drawing upon the resource-action-performance model and contingency theory, this study examines how IT resources (i.e., internally-focused IT resources, externally-focused IT resources, and IT business spanning resources) influence competitive performance through supply chain integration (SCI) (i.e., internal and external integration), as well as how the mediating effects are moderated by environmental turbulence. Using data collected from 215 firms in China, we find that different types of IT resources have differential impacts on SCI. In addition, our results indicate that the impacts of internally-focused IT resources and IT business spanning resources on competitive performance are mediated by both internal and external integration, while the impact of externally-focused IT resources on competitive performance is only mediated by external integration. Furthermore, our findings reveal that environmental turbulence positively moderates the impact of IT resources on competitive performance via internal integration yet negatively moderates the impact of IT resources on competitive performance via external integration. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications of this research are also discussed.
