Abstract: Information technologies are exerting ever increasing influences on corporate growth and profitability. However, very little is understood of the mechanisms through which information technologies impact upon long-term organisational growth. We hypothesised several relationships between information technologies and organisational financial performance. We then analysed those relationships through a structural equation model (SEM) using data collected for a national survey of US manufacturing companies. The major findings of the research are: an organisation's financial performance is dependent on its information management and technology management strategies; knowledge management strategies indirectly influence financial performance. These findings are important in framing long-term strategies for sustainable development.

Keywords: organisational performance; information management strategy; IMS; technology management strategy; TMS; knowledge management strategy; PLS analysis; mediating effect. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
