“…This study contributes to the existing debate on the usefulness of the IoTs in four important ways. First, it contributes theoretically by advancing arguments based on traditional dynamic capability perspectives (e.g., Teece, 2007;Teece et al, 1997) and modern dynamic capability requirements (e.g., Mikalef and Pateli, 2017;Wang et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2013), proposing a framework that utilizes various literature streams such as the IoTs, a dynamic capability-based view and agility to advance the understanding of the important relationships that exist between the use of IoTs, dynamic data and information processing capabilities, and operational agility (Atzori et al, 2010;Xu et al, 2016). So far, the research on IoTs and its impacts had not been established on sound underlying theoretical bases (Atzori et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2013), therefore, the contribution of our empirical findings to these aspects substantially closes such research gap.…”
