Abstract:

E-business and globalization in 1990 onward have led the field of information systems (IS) to IS
capability era, in which organizations aim to achieve sustainability from IS and take internal perspective rather than external. Basically, capabilities are organization’s core skills and routines in doing different activities effectively. Likewise, IS capability is a flow of actions to do the information system-related requirements of the organization effectively. Recently, the use of firm-wide IS capabilities have become more popular in studies such as e-commerce success, process innovation, IT harnessing, and business intelligence success. This paper provide a review of related studies on IS capability dimensions in IS research and finally proposes a conceptual model indicating the relationship between organizational IS capabilities, organizational performance and strategic planning.
