The ability of firms to gain competitive advantage from information and communication technologies (ICTs) has long been an important theme in the information systems (IS) field. Most research in this area has been pursued at the individual and organizational level of analysis... The papers in this special issue of the Journal of Information Technology (JIT) take a different view and argue that ICT-enabled competitive advantage is best investigated from the industry level of analysis.
