Most of the literature pays attention to the  relationship between IT investments and business  performance. This approach underestimates the  analysis of the typology of IT expenditure,  specifically in terms of organization and business  strategy effects. IT investments in business processes include several  types of technologies and not all of them are able  to influence the competitive advantage of firms.  Consequently, it cannot be taken for granted that IT  expenditure ¿per se'' is a correct proxy for  evaluating the role of IT on firm performance,  without a distinction of IT typology and destination. Therefore, in this work we study the role assigned  by firms to IT resources by analysing the decision  making process for IT investment choices.  The aims of this work are mainly two: i) analysing  how IT investments affect the competitive advantage  of the enterprise; ii) understanding the role of IT  in the definition and implementation of firm  strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838384269\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow IT affects the competitive advantage of the enterprise and the definition and implementation of  firm strategy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838384269","offer_id":39498998317149,"sku":"9783838384269","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/47e144cc-ec5e-47a5-9d00-f2dcf4b932b9.jpg?v=1757828020","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/the-role-of-information-technology-in-firm-strategy-von-alessandro-iacopini","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
