Drawing from the Resource-based View of the firm and based on prior literature, we examine two organizational factors that top management can control (‘executive champion for IT’ and ‘formalized ROI for IT’) for enhancing information technology (IT) tool use during new product development (NPD). Further, we investigate the subsequent effects of IT tool use on NPD task proficiency and performance. Moreover, research on IT use in NPD has matured enough to suggest that the effect of IT tool use on outcomes should be examined with a decompositional approach in order to flesh out the nuances on consequences. Hence, adopting a phase-based approach, we examine the differences in the effects at three separate NPD stages: discovery, development, and commercialization. The model is empirically tested with data collected from large-sized Japanese firms. The results of structural equation modeling show that executive champion for IT positively influences tool usage in all three stages, and formalized ROI for IT has positive effect on enhancing NPD task proficiency in discovery and development. Further, IT tool use frequency enhances NPD task proficiency with varying effect sizes in all three stages, highest in discovery and lowest in commercialization. Finally, concurring with prior literature, task proficiency is found to affect NPD performance positively. Based on these findings, we discuss theoretical and managerial implications as well as provide specific suggestions for future research.

新产品开发中的信息技术工具使用频率:特定阶段的使用频率对性能的影响

从公司基于资源的观点出发,并根据以前的文献,我们研究了高层管理人员可以控制的两个组织因素(“ IT的执行冠军”和“ IT的正式ROI”),以增强信息技术(IT)工具的使用在新产品开发(NPD)中。此外,我们调查了IT工具使用对NPD任务熟练程度和性能的后续影响。此外,关于NPD中IT使用的研究已经足够成熟,表明应该使用分解方法来检查IT工具使用对结果的影响,以充实对结果的细微差别。因此,采用基于阶段的方法,我们研究了三个独立的NPD阶段的效果差异:发现,开发和商业化。使用从大型日本公司收集的数据对模型进行了经验检验。结构方程建模的结果表明,IT的执行冠军在所有三个阶段均对工具的使用产生积极影响,而正式的IT ROI对提高NPD任务开发和开发的熟练程度具有积极作用。此外,IT工具的使用频率提高了NPD任务的熟练程度,这三个阶段的效果大小各不相同,发现率最高,而商业化程度最低。最后,与现有文献一致,发现任务熟练程度对NPD性能有积极影响。基于这些发现,我们讨论了理论和管理意义,并为以后的研究提供了具体建议。正式的IT投资回报率对提高NPD发现和开发任务的熟练程度具有积极作用。此外,IT工具的使用频率提高了NPD任务的熟练程度,这三个阶段的效应大小各不相同,发现率最高而商业化率最低。最后,与现有文献一致,发现任务熟练程度对NPD性能有积极影响。基于这些发现,我们讨论了理论和管理意义,并为以后的研究提供了具体建议。正式的IT投资回报率对提高NPD发现和开发任务的熟练程度具有积极作用。此外,IT工具的使用频率提高了NPD任务的熟练程度,这三个阶段的效应大小各不相同,发现率最高而商业化率最低。最后,与现有文献一致,发现任务熟练程度对NPD性能有积极影响。基于这些发现,我们讨论了理论和管理意义,并为以后的研究提供了具体建议。
