Abstract

This article examines the process by which Information Technology (IT) capabilities affect innovation performance. The results of a survey of sixty-five matched business executives (chief information officers and chief financial officers) of firms in China show that market orientation fully mediates the effect of IT capabilities on innovation performance. The implications of this finding and limitations of this study are discussed.
