摘要：

在数字化普及的今天,企业的竞争已经由单个企业转移到企业联盟,供应链乃至企业生态圈的竞争。因此如何获得企业间合作电子商务能力,成为目前企业关心的实际问题。传统IT/IS战略联盟研究分析了信息技术如何与企业内业务流程融合,而组织间信息系统研究则从技术视角分析EDI等组织间技术如何构建和采纳。至今尚没有研究从电子商务战略联盟视角探究企业间合作电子商务能力的获取路径。本文基于IT/IS战略联盟,组织间信息系统,以及治理机制等研究成果,提出了EB战略联盟-正式治理-企业间合作电子商务能力的作用路径,并使用PLS结构方程技术对收集的213个企业层问卷数据进行分析,研究发现:(1)EB战略联盟是企业间合作电子商务能力的触发器;(2)正式治理是EB战略联盟和企业间合作电子商务能力之间的桥梁;(3)合作时间对正式治理和知识共享能力的关系起到正向调节作用。本研究扩展了IT/IS战略联盟的研究,同时也为企业管理者从战略和管理层面如何构建企业间合作电子商务能力提供了具体的指导建议。

Abstract:

As the digital technologies (e.g., big data and cloud) become pervasive nowadays, the competing relationship among firms transfers to the alliance, supply chain, and industry ecosystem. Therefore, how to capture the collaborative e-business capability has become a hot topic for both researchers and managers. Based on IT/IS strategic alignment, IOIS, and governance, this paper proposes the model of e-business strategic alignment, formal governance, and e-collaborative capabilities, which describes the appropriate value process for this alignment. This model is tested using survey data from a sample of 213 manufacturing firms. The results provide strong support for the proposed research model. In particular, we find that (1) e-business strategic alignment is the enabler of collaborative e-business capability; (2) formal governance is the mediator in the relationship between e-business alignment and collaborative e-business capability; (3) the longevity of collaboration time has a positive moderated effect on the relationship between formal governance and knowledge sharing capability. Our research extends IT/IS alignment literature, and theoretical and practical implications of the research are discussed.

Key words: e-business strategic alignment, collaborative e-business capability, formal governance
