中文摘要： 如何平衡信息技术（IT）匹配的短期收益和敏捷性的长期潜能是动态环境下企业IT应用过程中面临的重要问题，研究IT匹配与敏捷性的关系是解决该问题的前提。本项目以制造企业为研究对象，从企业层面，综合运用案例、多主体仿真和调查等方法，研究多层次IT匹配及其对敏捷性的影响机理，研究内容包括：（1）基于复杂适应系统和多主体仿真，研究个体层次到战略层次IT匹配的涌现过程；（2）基于企业刚性理论，研究战略层次IT匹配影响敏捷性的过程；（3）基于知识管理理论，研究个体层次IT匹配影响敏捷性的过程；（4）环境动态性、业务战略和信息技术能力等内外部情境因素对IT匹配与敏捷性关系的调节效应。本项目创新之处在于将IT匹配拓展为个体和战略两个层次，探索多层次IT匹配之间的复杂性,研究多层次IT匹配对敏捷性的影响机理。本项目的研究成果既有助于拓展IT匹配和基于IT敏捷性的研究，也有助于提高动态环境下企业IT应用成效。

英文摘要： It is a critical issue for firms to achieve a balance between the short-term benefits generated by IT alignment and the long-term potential originated from agility, especially in dynamic environments. The relationship between IT alignment and firm agility must be clearly understood before making such a balance achievable. This proposal theorizes that IT alignment exists in multiple levels of an organization and empirically examines the effects of multi-level IT alignment on firm agility by employing case studies, multi-agent simulations, and surveys. This research intends to (1) study the emergent process from individual level IT alignment to strategic level IT alignment using complex adaptive system and multi-agent simulation; (2) examine the impacts of strategic level IT alignment on agility based on Firm Rigidity Theory; (3) uncover the effects of individual level IT alignment on agility by drawing from Knowledge Management Theory; and (4) investigate the moderation effects of environmental dynamism, business strategy, and IT capability on the link between multi-level IT alignment and agility. This study is expected to extend the current research on IT alignment and IT-enabled agility, and provide practical guidelines for firms in turbulent environments to plan and implement their IT systems.
