信息技术、组织变革与生产绩效 --关于企业信息化阶段性互补机制的实证研究

本文利用浙江企业的数据研究了企业信息化与组织变革、生产绩效的相互关联,发现企业信息化互补机制存在阶段性特征,即企业信息化资本和组织行为的互补性随着企业信息化资本和信息化应用程度的变化呈现阶段性变化。另外,我们还发现大企业和中小企业的信息化互补机制也存在显著差异。这些经验发现与现存文献以欧美国家企业信息化为主要对象所得出的结论形成鲜明对比。

Information Technology,Organizational Innovation,and Productivity:Evidence on the Phase Characteristics of Complementarities

Using a large dataset collected from Zhejiang province,this paper investigates the associations between information technology,organizational change,and firm productivity.We present strong evidence on significant variations of complementarities among certain key components at different phases of firm informatization.More specifically,the complemetarity between information capital and organizational behaviors varies with the size of information investment and the depth of its application within the firms.We also find the significant differences in complementary mechanisms between large firms and small-medium-sized firms.These empirical findings are in stark contrast with the well-accepted results in existing literature focusing on the informatization process of American and European firms.
