“…Most IT researches are focused on the analysis of the factors influencing the adoption of IT [15,16], where the analysed factors can be classified into three categories: factors related to the firms' staff that will use IT, factors related to the firms' characteristics and factors related to the business environment in which the firm operates [17]. The impact of IT on firms' innovativeness is very little analysed, mainly as the impact of a particular technology to a particular category of innovation.…”

“…The impact of IT on firms' innovativeness is very little analysed, mainly as the impact of a particular technology to a particular category of innovation. In the study [17], it is analysed the impact of IT on innovation and competitiveness by demonstrating that only the use of various IT does not affect the level of competitiveness, nor affect the level of innovation of the firm. In a small number of researches it has investigated not only the use of IT, but the existence of relating level of IT skills and its impact on innovation.…”

The primary aim of this article is to identify antecedents of firm's success in specific circumstances of the New economy. Many researchers have tried to answer the question "Why do some firms persistently outperform others?". One of the most dominant view on this issue is a resource based view (RBV) or resource-based theory (RBT). According to this theory, sources of competitive advantage begin with the notion that differences in performance are fundamentally due to the distinctive resources and capabilities that are valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable. Information technology as a resource of the company has the increasing importance for the researches and managers. Research on the information technology (IT) value within organizations and firms' IT capabilities have expanded over the past decade. IT capability is defined as the existence of IT infrastructure, IT knowledge and IT operations within company. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the interaction impact of IT capability and firms' innovation on business performance. The study uses survey data from managers and structural equation modelling to assess the relationships between IT capability, firm's innovation and business performance. This study finds that both IT capability and innovation capability play important role in achieving greater business performance. The findings indicate that managers should focus on development of the IT function within company, taking into account importance of IT investment as well as IT knowledge, and promotion of innovativeness.

A B S T R A C T Objective:The objective of this article is to review the definitions, theories, and drivers of international competitiveness, examine how the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) impacts the competitiveness framework, and build an ecosystematic model of competitiveness in the 4IR. Research Design & Methods:The analytical work makes reference to the existing literature on international competitiveness, following a SALSA (Search, AppraisaL, Synthesis, and Analysis) approach. The development of competitiveness theories and determinants are examined. Findings: International competitiveness theories at country, industry, and firm levels, and its macroeconomic and microeconomic determinants are closely related, calling for a systematic approach in a competitiveness study. As a result, this article models competitiveness in the new era of the 4IR using an ecosystematic approach. Policy and managerial implications of the model are discussed following an integrated method. Implications & Recommendations: Innovation, technological advancement, and relevant policies should be examined and understood in an ecosystematic approach. Future studies should theoretically model different components of the 4IR into the competitiveness framework and empirically examine the impact of 4IR to competitiveness from various aspects. Contribution & Value Added: This article emphasizes the role of growing reliance on technology. It helps policymakers to re-evaluate national competitiveness by examining a nation's involvement and response to 4IR and how 4IR may potentially impact productivity and prosperity of a nation. It also deepens our understanding on firm level competitiveness in the age of 4IR and suggests future research direction. Article type:conceptual paper

“…The use of ICT boosts innovation in the companies regarding it as launching new products or services as well introducing new processes, which escalate the level of competitiveness in the enterprise (Ollo-López, Aramendía-Muneta, 2012). ICT serve as a catalyst for developing NISs that responds to and guides innovation nationwide and creates an institutionalized structure of innovation at the national and regional levels (Wiseman, Anderson, 2012).…”

bstract: Considering the strategic importance of innovation activities, various studies have been employed pertaining to gauging innovation performance both micro and macro levels. While theoretical frameworks to identify and measure capabilities of the national innovation systems (NISs) of countries do exist, what remains striking is the lack of thorough account of the structural and dependence relationships expressed in a series of equations. Dedicated to remedy this research gap of the literature, the main purpose of this study is to develop and test a hypothesized model through the PLS-SEM approach for the NISs of European countries. The developed model enables decision makers concerned with innovation to comprehend the dynamics of innovation systemically and to have valid and reliable variables which represent the antecedents of national innovation capabilities of the EU countries. Keywords: National innovation systems, PLS-SEM approach, antecedents of innovation. A
