The emerging attention in big data has led businesses to improve big data analytics talent capability to enrich firm performance. The big data capability pays off for some companies but not for all, and it appears that very few have achieved a big impact through big data. Rooted in the latest literature on the knowledge-based view, IT capability, big data talent capability and business intelligence, this study aims to examine how big data talent capability impact on business intelligence infrastructure to achieve firm performance.

The primary survey data of 272 IT managers and big data analysts from Chinese firms was analyzed by using the structural equation modeling and partial least squares (Smart PLS 3.0). The analysis uncovers a positive and significant relationship in the proposed model.

The finding shows that the big data analytics talent capability positively impacts on business intelligence infrastructure that in turn directs to achieve firm financial and marketing performance.

This study theorized on the multitheoretic lenses, and findings suggest the managers and industry practitioners to develop business intelligence infrastructure capabilities from big data analytics talent capability.

Despite the conceptual, empirical and theoretical advances in alignment–performance relationship, there is a limited research on the alignment dimensions and organizational performance measures. Though strategic alignment is believed to improve organizational performance, the purpose of this paper is to develop conjectures for understanding how different alignment dimensions influence organizational performance measures.

The data were acquired from 161 senior IT and business managers paired responses in China and were analyzed by using a structural equation modeling technique.

The hypothesized relationships are largely supported. Thus, quality-oriented strategic alignment dimension has a significant relationship with all performance measures. Contrary to expectations, both product and marketing-oriented strategic alignment dimensions do not show a significant impact on financial return. The marketing-oriented strategic alignment dimension also has an insignificant relationship with operational excellence.

This study suggests that the business–IT alignment can be dimensioned to better combine business strategy and IT strategy. Hence, managers can focus specific alignment dimension instead of entire strategies of a firm for a better decision making.

Findings suggest guidance for formulating combined business and IT strategic alignment into dimensions and proposing insightful and practical implications.

Despite the existing literature on the impact of IT capability and innovation capabilities, this study examines how IT-enabled dynamic capability dimensions impact on firm innovative capability to achieve organizational performance.

Drawing on the dynamic capability theory, this study empirically investigates the entire chain of relationships among dynamic capability, innovative capability, organizational performance and turbulent environment.

Using the data from 254 Chinese firms, this study reveals IT-enabled dynamic capability dimensions have positive and significant relationship with firm innovative capability types, which in turn have significant relationship with organizational performance except the process innovation.

This study contributes to the growing information systems literature and also suggests theoretical and practical implications.

This study examines IT-enabled dynamic capability with firm innovative capability types, which has received limited attention in the past.

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that influence the intention to use mobile learning (m-learning) by learners in developing countries such as Thailand. This study integrated two theories; namely, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), which focuses on technology, and uses and gratifications theory (UGT), which involves studying learners’ motivation.

Applying a quantitative research method, this study conducted a survey of 359 undergraduates. The partial least squares methods and a statistical analysis technique based on the structural equation modelling (SEM), were used to analyse the data.

The results revealed that the performance expectancy, cognitive need, affective need and social need had significant effect on intention to use m-learning. Furthermore, this study found a significant effect of the cognitive need on the performance expectancy and social need on effort expectancy.

This research model has provided guidelines for the effective development of educational applications for use on mobile devices. The findings can be applied as guidelines for public organizations to develop educational strategies to further encourage the development of online learning.

This research closed a gap of understanding from previous studies by integrating UTAUT and UGT. The method derived from the theoretically integrated model could be applied to study the intentions for the implementation the mobile learning application from the context of developing countries such as Thailand.

The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of customers’ perceived privacy and security (CPPS) by investigating privacy concerns, data security, and exploring the factors that elevate or minimise these concerns in relation to organisations’ practices.

The research study utilises an explanatory research design. Data were collected from six organisations from different industry sectors through in-depth interviews with managers and from customers’ through four focus groups of a high-user demographic segment.

The paper identified Privacy by Design (PbD) in the area of organisations’ practices as well as identifying the main areas of CPPS. These themes were used as the basis for an analysis of customer concerns instrumental to the success of e-commerce.

The findings will inform the development of a general conceptual model. This will provide a better understanding of CPPS in general and in relation to the success of e-commerce web sites and transactional sites in particular.

The value and the originality of the paper comes from the adoption of the “PbD” paradigm. Organisations have to explore the factors that elevate or minimise customers’ concerns in relation to adopting and continuing to use online transactions. It is necessary for organisations to do this because when privacy and security practices are clearly disclosed, customers increase their intention to use, or continue to use online transactions.
