Fawcett et al. [42], investigate the mechanisms through which IT investments influence Supply Chain (SC)
performance. They believe that despite IT investments, many organizations have failed to obtain improvements
in SC performance, and eventually claim that investments in IT make their greatest competitive contribution
when they enable a dynamic SC collaboration capability. Grounded in the theory of dynamic capabilities [43], a
well established theory in the field of the firms’ business strategy, our future study will focus on the
conceptualization of a strategy to guide IT investments in logistics in order to improve SC performance providing
competitive advantage. The concept of dynamic capabilities and Resource-Based Theory (RBT) [44] will be used
to investigate how the firms’ IT investment in the necessary resources (human, technological, economic, and
organizational) for pervasive computing could evolve through time, offering competitive advantage. A series of
previous studies will be considered in our research. Jiang and Li [45], study components of the dynamic
capabilities of supply chain and enterprise development in turbulent environment and propose that the Supply
Chain's Dynamic Capabilities have three Dimensions: flexibility, agility, supply chain coordination. Defee and
Fugate [46], review the Logistics and supply chain literature, and provide a model of dynamic supply chain
capabilities (DSCCS). They also underline that dynamic capabilities may be extended beyond the traditional
single-firm view to exist across the relationships developed by multiple organizations in a supply chain.
