“…The conversion effectiveness of the firm will influence the way the IT is converted to productive outputs. Top management commitment has long been recognized as important for implementation success Lucas 1981, Markus 1981, Ginzberg 1981. Commitment is required in the form of a demonstration of the belief that the systems will be successful and productive tools.…”

Large amounts of resources have been and continue to be invested in information technology (IT). Much of this investment is made on the basis of-faith that returns will occur. This study presents the results of an empirical test of the performance effects of IT investment in the manufacturing sector. Six years of historical data on IT investment and performance was collected for 33 valve manufacturing firms from the CEO, the controller and the production manager in each firm. Investment was perceptually categorized by management objective (i.e.: into strategic, informational and transactional) and tested against four measures of performance (sales growth, return on assets, and two measures of labour productivity). Heavy use of transactional IT investment was found to be significantly and consistently associated with strong firm performance over the six years studied. Heavy use of strategic IT was found to be neutral in the long term and associated only with relatively poor performing firms in the short term. This study suggests that early adopters of strategic IT could have spectacular success but once the technology becomes common the competitive advantage is lost. In addition, the context of the firm was included in the analysis. Conversion effectiveness, which measures the quality of the firm-wide management and commitment to IT, was found to be a significant moderator between strategic IT investment and firm performance.

“…For example, Ginzberg (1981) proposed the use of a diffusion of innovations model to study the implementation of IS. Lucas et al (1990), as the foundations for their model of implementation, refer to attitude models, including TRA and diffusion models.…”

This paper reports on a field study investigating the adoption of an information technology (IT) by end-users. First, based on theories and empirical fmdings from research into the Diffusion of Innovations and the Theory of Reasoned Action, a model was developed of the factors influencing individual level decisions to use IT. The model was then field tested in a survey of 540 individuals in seven organizations. Results show that the model received good support and that it can be used for understanding the utilization of IT. Both one's own attitude and the expectations of others influenced the degree to which one used IT after adoption. Consistent with results from diffusion research, the most significant perceptions that had an effect on degree of use were ease of use, relative advantage and compatibility.
