Abstract
Approaching IT innovation (ITI) from a strategic management standpoint, this paper sheds light on the issue of the capability of a firm to innovate with IT over time. In this study we argue that ITI is a cumulative and path-dependent capability that is not easily replicated. Companies that have developed ITI capability and attained ITI status among their peers are likely to maintain this status over time, thus demonstrating that ITI is a sustained capability. We tested our proposition with cross-sectional data of large US firms that have attained ITI status from 1997-2004. Exploratory results based on transitional probabilities and econometric analysis based on a dynamic random effect Probit model seem to strongly support our position.
