Abstract
One of the most current concerns in the field of information system is whether cloud computing technology can deliver the desired improvement of capability and value to enterprises. This paper studied the enterprise technology development capability of the enterprises in Beijing Zhongguancun Technology Park, the first national high-tech industrial development zone in China, from the perspective of the breadth and depth of the alignment of cloud computing and enterprise. It proposed a theoretical model to study how the breadth and depth of alignment affects the enterprise technology development capability in a turbulent environment and considers the intermediary role of the enterprise technology absorption capability and the moderation role of environmental turbulence in it. The model was tested empirically by questionnaires and structural equation model (SEM). Empirical results showed that both the deep and wide alignment of cloud computing can enhance the enterprise technology development capability by improving the enterprise technology absorption capability.
Highlights
An important and long-standing concern in the field of information systems is whether information technology can bring about the expected technological advances and capability improvements for enterprises when it is adopted and implemented
This paper proposed a theoretical model to study how alignment breadth and depth affects the enterprise technology development capability by influencing its technology absorption capability and considered the moderation role of environmental turbulence in it
In addition to the above-mentioned factors that may have an impact on the technology development capability, we considered five variables, namely, industry type, enterprise nature, total assets, annual sales and cloud computing budget, which would be placed together in the research model as control variables
Summary
An important and long-standing concern in the field of information systems is whether information technology can bring about the expected technological advances and capability improvements for enterprises when it is adopted and implemented. In the last two years, there has been a great deal of academic interest in how cloud computing can enhance the capability of enterprises, the technological capability that enable them to undertake technological activities to develop new products and processes. As China's first national high-tech industrial development zone, Zhongguancun Technology Park is known as "China's Silicon Valley", home to over 10,000 high-tech enterprises. For enterprises in Zhongguancun Technology Park that have achieved the alignment of cloud computing, can alignment enhance their technological capability? For enterprises in Zhongguancun Technology Park that have achieved the alignment of cloud computing, can alignment enhance their technological capability? This is a key issue that will drive the adoption and application of cloud computing
