Review of Literature on Managing Information Technology Investment for Firm Performance a Bibliometric Approach

Abstract

The many-sided view or the role of information technology (IT) towards firm performance has been extensively examined. The academic scholars and industry practitioners agree that there are underlying theories for managing IT, still, the literature is suffering the comprehensive review-based research. Similarly, though there is extensive empirical evidence on managing information technology investment and firm performance, complete thoughtful research directions and the recent progress in the field are limited. Hence, a strong understanding of the present lay of the paradigm is required to assist in this research domain. Against these backdrops, this study explores an overview of this research field using a bibliometric approach focusing on the published academic journal articles in Web of Science for the period between 2000 and 2021. This study demonstrates maps for the journal name, keywords, title and abstract section keywords, co-authorship for counties, co-citation for a cited author, and cited sources are demonstrated.
