| Title: | Resource complementarity and IT economies of scale : mechanisms and empirical evidence | Authors: | Woudstra, U Berghout, E Tan, CW Van Eekeren, P Dedene, G |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | Information systems management, 2017, v. 34, no. 2, p. 185-199 | Abstract: | In this study, we explore economies of scale for IT infrastructure and application services. An in-depth appreciation of economies of scale is imperative for an adequate understanding of the impact of IT investments. Our findings indicate that even low IT spending organizations can make a difference by devoting at least 60% of their total IT budget on IT infrastructure in order to foster economies of scale and extract strategic benefits. | Keywords: | Business productivity Economies of scale IT productivity IT value Resource complementarity Shared IT services |
