Sehingga kini, kesan teknologi maklumat pada prestasi syarikat masih boleh dipersoalkan, kerana beberapa hasil kajian terdahulu adalah sangat bervariasi. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kepelbagaian konsepsi dari konstruk utama dan hubungkaitnya dan tidak memasukan kesan yang tak ketara (Intangible effect) dari teknologi maklumat atas prestasi syarikat. Berbagai-bagai paradigma teori yang telah digunakan oleh para penyelidik dalam mengkaji hubungan di antara teknologi maklumat dan prestasi syarikat dan menyebabkan masalah kaitan teknologi maklumat atas prestasi syarikat menjadi kompleks. Para cendikia':Van mempertikaikan bahawa rangka teori yang menyatu didasarkan pada pandangan teori sumber (Resource based view) mesti dikembangkan supaya menyatukan pelbagai unsur-unsur kajian dalam satu kerangka. Selain itu, teknologi maklumat sendirian tidak boleh menghasilkan manfaat yang dapat mengekalkan dan untuk itu ia mesti dilindungi dengan mengabungkan ia dalam organisasi melalui sumber saling melengkapi dan membantu pengkhususan. To date, the impact of information technology (IT) on finn performance remains debatable, because some results of previous studies have high variations. The variations of result are caused by diversities in the conceptualization of the key constructs and their interrelationship and the exclusion of intangible effect of IT on performance. The multiple theoretical paradigms have also been employed by researchers in investigating the relationship between IT and firm perfmmance and they caused the problem of linking IT to firm performance to become rather complex. Scholars argued that the unified theoretical framework based on the resource-based view (RBV) should be developed in order to integrate the various elements of research into a single framework. Further, IT alone may not generate ~ sustainable advantage, because it can be easily imitated by competitors. However, the advantages should be protected by embedding it in an organization through complementary and co-specialized resource.
