From the outset, IT researchers advocated tight IT-strategy linkages, asserting that IT affects firm strategies, that strategies have IT implications, and that firms must somehow integrate strategic thrust with IT capabilities (Fabbe-Costes, 2000). However, the role that IT plays in organizational performance has been tackled from two different standpoints in strategic man-agement: the position-based (outside-in) view and the resource-based (inside-out) view2. In this chapter, we synthesize their key contributions to build our analytical framework.
