This study evaluates how Information Technology (IT) creates value in the performance of physical infrastructure (PI) projects. The research model is based on the concept of the Business Value of Information Technology (BVIT) and relates the integration of IT resources with the development of IT capabilities to promote the performance of PI projects. The model is evaluated empirically from first-hand data collected from surveys in public and private organizations whose core is the development of PI projects in Colombia. The empirical test indicates there is a strong relationship between IT and PI performance when the effects of IT resources and capabilities are mediated through the underlying mechanisms composed by IT support for competitive strategies and core competencies. The strong correlation between predictor constructs and PI project performance is confirmed upon calculating the t...
