        Linking the literature of resource-based view (RBV) with ambidexterity, the purpose of this study is to assess the effect of information technology, knowledge management and Marketing capabilities on innovation ambidexterity and its influence on the performance of new product development of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) active in the Iranian medical and pharmaceutical industry. To this end, this paper develops an integrative research model, which analyzes the network of relations using covariance-based structural equation modeling on a data set of 294 SMEs present at the 21st International Exhibition of Medical and Pharmaceutical Equipment in Tehran in June 2018. Accordingly, the questionnaires were assigned to senior and middle managers whose primary responsibilities were related to strategic innovation activities of the firms. Findings show that the complementary capabilities of information technology, knowledge management and marketing are positively associated with innovation ambidexterity. In addition, innovation ambidexterity is found to strengthen the the performance of the new product development.   Manuscript profile

        Organizations are increasingly in search of ways to derive more business values from IT investments and the need for IT capabilities (ITC) is surging. ITC is critical significant to build enterprise agility and promote organizational performance. However, IT capability is always treated as the causal factor already existing and there are few studies on how IT capability is created and evaluated. Appropriate evaluation is necessary for an organization to measure, manage and improve enterprise ITC. This research aims to identify and map the dimensions of an organization's ITC. Using a mixed research method, this paper comprises two sections. The qualitative section adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to identify the dimensions of ITC. The quantitative section employs factor analysis to validate identified ITC dimensions and their indicators in an attempt to develop a more precise model for ITC evaluation. The proposed ITC model includes IT management, IT human resources, IT infrastructure, and implementation of IT solutions dimensions as well as the 25 related indicators. Drawing on the results of this paper, organizations can engage in evaluation and improve/create essential ITCs based on the evaluation results. Manuscript profile
