Abstract

This paper proposes a method for estimating the expected duration of competitive advantage from emerging technology adoption for the average adopting firm. The proposed method relies on publicly available data (e.g., web search interest, news articles, book titles, and firm disclosures) and integrates elements from diffusion of innovation theory, hype cycles, and resource-based view of competitive advantage. We validate this method by applying it to two mature technologies, namely ERP and cloud computing, for which we come up with estimates consistent with findings from prior studies. Leveraging our method, researchers and professionals can use readily available data to make their own estimations. Such estimates can inform researchers in answering research questions related to duration of competitive advantage from technology adoption. They can inform professionals in making better business decisions such as forecasting the net present value of an investment in an emerging technology.

估算新兴技术采用带来的竞争优势持续时间

本文提出了一种估算新兴技术采用对企业竞争优势预期持续时间的方法。所提出的方法依赖于公开可用的数据(例如，网络搜索兴趣、新闻文章、书名和公司披露)，并整合了创新扩散理论、炒作周期和基于资源的竞争优势观等要素。我们通过将其应用于两种成熟的技术，即ERP和云计算来验证该方法，我们提出了与先前研究结果一致的估计。利用我们的方法，研究人员和专业人员可以使用现成的数据来做出他们自己的估计。这样的估计可以告知研究人员回答与技术采用带来的竞争优势持续时间有关的研究问题。它们可以帮助专业人士做出更好的商业决策，比如预测一项新兴技术投资的净现值。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Accounting Information Systems will publish thoughtful, well developed articles that examine the rapidly evolving relationship between accounting and information technology. Articles may range from empirical to analytical, from practice-based to the development of new techniques, but must be related to problems facing the integration of accounting and information technology. The journal will address (but will not limit itself to) the following specific issues: control and auditability of information systems; management of information technology; artificial intelligence research in accounting; development issues in accounting and information systems; human factors issues related to information technology; development of theories related to information technology; methodological issues in information technology research; information systems validation; human–computer interaction research in accounting information systems. The journal welcomes and encourages articles from both practitioners and academicians.
