本研究將針對資訊科技支援知識管理(KMIT)影響績效進行討論。
本研究目的在於探討資訊科技支援知識管理對長短期企業績效之影響。本研究也試

The relationship between knowledge management (KM) and firm performance has been
the subject of some discussion in information systems literature. However, direct links from
KM to firm performance have been hard to find. This lack of linkage between KM and firm
performance resulted in some further research into the intermediate organizational variables
through which KM could influence firm performance. However, the results of these
researches were ambiguous. Some researches found a significant link between KM and firm
performance while others did not. Therefore, in order to better understand the effect of KM on
firm performance, the present study focuses on the performance effects of KM with
information technology (IT) support.
The goal of this study is to examine the long-term and short-term performance impact of
KM with IT support (KMIT) on firm performance. In addition it interprets the performance
effects of KMIT regarding the impact of industry-level and firm-level factors on sustainable
competitive advantage. We explore this issue by referring to the respective assertions of three
major theories: the knowledge-based view of the firm, Spanos and Lioukas’s model, and
strategic alignment model. We propose a composite framework based on the causal logic of
these theories, and explicitly modeled the mechanisms of rent generation. We apply this
composite framework to guide our research for developing the model and hypotheses, and to
examine the performance effects of KMIT. Data from Taiwan’s manufacturing firms provide
empirical support for these hypotheses. The SPSS, AMOS, and PLS software solution will
select to validate the measurements and the structural properties of the proposed research
model.
