Digital Business Strategy as an Initiator of E-business Capability Generation: A Business-Level Strategic Perspective

摘要：

　　Nowadays, many firms formulate and execute digital business strategy to leverage the opportunities of e-business value-creation.In this study, we present a business-level strategic perspective of e-business value-creation and suggest that e-business capability is enabled from strategically deploying IT resources in the inter-organizational context.We propose a research model to capture multiple relationships among digital business strategy, IT resources, and e-business capabilities.The research model was tested using a national survey data from 131 Chinese manufacturing firms.Empirical findings showed that steered by digital business strategy, firms focused on leveraging digital linking, IT human resources, and channel partner relationship in e-business, whereas the exploitation of these resources generated inter-organizational e-business capabilities.This study extends our understanding of the initiation mechanism and the evolving process of e-business values captured through digital business strategy.
