| Summary: | The concept of Green Information Technology
(Green IT) has been widely discussed in recent times,
but the question of how a firm can afford to
implement Green IT in both IT and other business
operations has yet to be examined. In addition, the
question of whether Green IT has made any
significant contributions towards sustainable
development in organizations has not yet been
studied. This study attempts to bridge this gap by
viewing Green IT capability from the lens of Natural
Resource-Based View. The two constructs derived
from this theory, namely, as pollution prevention and
product stewardship are discussed in this paper. Its
application is extended into the IT context with
reference to Green IT literature. This occurs among
an early review of the utilisation of these constructs
particularly for Green IT process management. The
implications of the outcome of this study, both for the
IS researchers and for the practicing managers, are
discussed. |
