摘　　要：本文研究目的是探讨企业信息技术能力的构成维度、概念测量以及其实现信息化成功的影响机制。基于我国信息化的实践,作者以企业资源理论(RBV)与以往文献为基础,研究并建立了信息技术能力及其对信息化成功影响的理论模型,认为IT基础设施、IT管理技能以及业务/IT之间关系能力三者共同交互并影响了信息技术在企业中的扩散与吸收。作者通过问卷调查法收集数据,运用结构方程模型进行实证分析,分步骤验证了信息技术能力的概念测量模型以及对信息化成功影响的结构关系模型。本研究将有助于指导企业识别和培育核心信息技术能力,从而实现信息化成功及其推动的持续竞争优势。During the past decade, both business managers and academic researchers have shown considerable interest in understanding how information systems （IS） lead to sustained competitive advantages in a firm. The present study builds on this research to examine the nature of information technology （IT） capability and delineate the process by which IT capability leads to sustainable competitive advantages. In this paper, IT capability is considered a multidimensional construct, consisting of the quality of IT infrastructure, managerial IT skills, and the partnership between IT and business management. Using the resource-based view of the firm （RBV）, the authors propose a conceptual model that elaborates on the interrelationships between IS capabilities and competitive advantages in the context of Chinese enterprises, and develop a series of research hypotheses. Then, we collect data through a survey questionnaire of 105 firms in China, and present the results of an empirical test that involves structural equation modeling. All the three second-order constructs of IT capability （the quality of IT infrastructure, managerial IT skills, and the partnership between IT and business management） were found to be significantly related to IS competitive advantages, and the partnership between the business and IT functions also partially mediates the impact of IT infrastructure and managerial IT skills on IS competitive advantages. These results are interpreted and the implications of this study for IS research and practice are discussed. Finally, the study concludes that the RBV may be useful to investigate the relationship between IT capabilities and competitive advantages, and firms with high IT capability will be more able to assimilate IT and leverage the business value of IT investment.
