Abstract

Information technology (IT) developments of large magnitude organize as collections of multiple projects into a single program, especially under dynamic conditions of market uncertainty that frequently change requirements or solutions midstream. Successful completion of an IT development program requires that the multiple teams work effectively together as well as independently in response to changes by relying on the differentiation of talent and knowledge available to the program manager. We consider and empirically support a model derived from principles in the multi-team systems (MTS) literature to determine the influence of differentiation among the IT program in the sharing of knowledge and information. The relationship from differentiation to program success is mediated by knowledge and information sharing, showing how to manage change through the dissemination of information and knowledge. Uncertainty of the market positively moderates the relation from differentiation among projects to information sharing. These findings contribute to the literature by empirically validating that MTS frameworks are exceptionally well suited for dealing with complex environments in the context of IT development.

37. On the Road to Digital Transformation: A Literature Review of IT Program Management

Author

Xiaosong (Jason) Wu, Gary Klein, and James J. Jiang

Subjects
Management of Technology and Innovation, Strategy and Management, Business and International Management
Abstract

Program management continues to gain traction as an approach to managing the development and implementation of advanced information technology (IT). The guidance and structure provided by program principles and processes enhance an organization’s ability to achieve the benefits of a large-scale IT deployment. However, realizing the benefits of contemporary IT to support organizational strategy is proving problematic. In this study, we conduct a conceptual and critical review of the IT program management literature to determine the current research in achieving success and develop frameworks that encourage coordinated studies to address further benefits from IT programs with differing strategic purposes.

Abstract

The automotive industry is a leader in the use of design agents to create components for new and redesigned vehicles. In the resulting interorganizational relationship, uncertainties at project inception add to the difficulty of delivering new component designs and force knowledge transference to comply with requirements as the project progresses. Organizational Information Processing Theory drives a research framework to examine the levels of knowledge exchange appropriate under prevailing uncertainty. A survey of over 300 design agencies validates the framework. Results show non-linear relationships with both positive and negative aspects of knowledge exchange that vary according to the levels of uncertainty, knowledge requirements, and exchange capacity. Theoretical implications include confirming mediated impacts of uncertainty and structured communication on project productivity plus the addition of precise alignment of knowledge requirements and knowledge exchanges. Design agencies must secure adequate, but not excessive, knowledge exchange. Researchers may consider the framework as a basis for extending the effect of uncertainty on consequential performance, as opposed to assuming uncertainty will impede effectiveness or testing uncertainty and managerial interventions as separate contingencies. Managers must work to carefully identify knowledge requirements at project commencement and establish appropriate communication structures and practices.
