The Influence of Information Technology Capability on Virtual Integrated Network Capability of Shipbuilding Industry Chain

Abstract

To enhance the competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry chain and give full play to the role of information technology capability on the virtual integrated network capability of shipbuilding industry chain, and study on the influence of information technology capability on the virtual integrated network capability of shipbuilding industry chain, this paper chose a number of Shipbuilding Groups and related enterprises as research object and distributed questionnaires to them, then built hypothesis by using qualitative research and using structural equation model (SEM) to give quantitative data to test the hypothesis. The results show that information technology resources (ITR) have a direct effect on the virtual integrated network capacity; information technology capability building (ITCB) has no obvious effect on network adjustment capability (NAdC) of virtual integrated network capacity, but has significant positive effects on other dimensions. And based on these results, we described in detail on how to improve the virtual integrated network capability of shipbuilding industry chain.
