This study evaluates how Information Technology (IT) creates value in the performance of
physical infrastructure (PI) projects. The research model is based on the concept of the
Business Value of Information Technology (BVIT) and relates the integration of IT resources
with the development of IT capabilities to promote the performance of PI projects. The model
is evaluated empirically from first-hand data collected from surveys in public and private
organizations whose core is the development of PI projects in Colombia. The empirical test
indicates there is a strong relationship between IT and PI performance when the effects of IT
resources and capabilities are mediated through the underlying mechanisms composed by IT
support for competitive strategies and core competencies. The strong correlation between
predictor constructs and PI project performance is confirmed upon calculating the total
effects, after which the empirical results shall confirm the theoretical basis. The study
includes managerial traits like moderator variables and empirical results indicate there are no
heterogeneity issues.
When countries achieve a foundational level of physical infrastructure, namely in basic
services (i.e. water supply and sanitation), infrastructure for life and coexistence (i.e. housing,
education, health, etc.) and ports and transport systems, they promote their national
productivity and competitive edge, in turn increasing their social positions in relation to
equity and sustainability. These transversal and relevant effects in the social context suggest
to develop new studies in this field |
