Abstract

Considerable attention has recently been given to strategic applications of information resources. Numerous frameworks to identify and categorize such applications have been proposed, but a systematic theory has been glaringly missing. This article builds upon existing frameworks in an attempt to move towards a theory of strategic use of information resources. It systematically utilizes the wealth of information available in real world examples of strategic applications of information resources and takes a first step towards such a theory. Several useful propositions, “discovered” from success stories using an “inductive” approach for theory building, are provided for strategic use of information resources. These propositions should serve as a base for testable models and hyphotheses and should contribute significantly towards future empirical research.
