    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 48, No. 5, 2006) Beimborn, Daniel; Franke, Jochen; Gomber, Peter; Wagner, Heinz-Theo; Weitzel, Tim
    KernpunkteIn diesem Beitrag wird im Rahmen einer empirischen Studie mit den 1.000 größten deutschen Banken gezeigt, wie im Zusammenspiel von Fach-und IT-Ressourcen und dem Alignment beider Bereiche die Geschäftsprozessleistung positiv beeinflusst werden kann. Es zeigt sich insbesondere, dasssowohl IT-Ressourcen als auch fachliche Ressourcen einen positiven Einfluss auf die Prozessleistung aufweisenAlignment als eigenständiger Faktor einen singulären Wertbeitrag aufweistauch eine sehr gute IT Schwächen auf Seiten der Fachabteilungen nicht kompensieren kann und ein Geschäftswertbeitrag durch IT somit auch maßgeblich von Faktoren abhängt, die häufig nicht im Einflussbereich der IT liegen.AbstractImportance of the Alignment of IT and Business Resources in Financial Processes — An Empirical Study How do firms realize business value from deploying IT in business processes? Based on the Resource-based View and insights from recent literature on IT/business alignment, we argue that actual usage and the alignment of IT and business units are important prerequisites for a superior performance of IT-intensive business processes. In this paper, a causal model on the joint impact of IT usage, IT/business alignment and business resources on business process performance is proposed and empirically validated using data from Germany’s 1.000 largest banks.It turns out that the perceived performance of the focal business process, as predicted in the theoretical model, strongly depends on IT/business alignment. The empirical analysis also shows that business resources have a large impact and that even a superior IT cannot compensate business resource deficiencies. The results thereby provide support for important propositions of the literature on alignment from a process perspective and contribute to common knowledge that the business value of IT should not be assessed without evaluating and controlling for business resources as a complementary factor.

    The Role of Experience for Outsourcing Evaluation
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 47, No. 6, 2005) Beimborn, Daniel; Franke, Jochen; Weitzel, Tim
    The Role of Experience for Outsourcing Evaluation — Impact of Individual Outsourcing Experience on the Perception of Economies of Scale, Skill, and ScopeDespite a maturing IS literature mostly explaining outsourcing, many important phenomena challenging managers in charge of outsourcing decisions remain ambiguous.In this paper, antecedents of the outsourcing decision are critically discussed focusing on the question: What is the impact of outsourcing experience on managers’ perception of economies of scale, scope, and skill? Based on an empirical survey with Germany’s Fortune 1,000 firms, it is shown that managers without prior outsourcing experience substantially overestimate the firm’s in-house competencies compared to external experts. The picture changes for managers with experience, establishing an important cultural barrier to outsourcing.
