Towards a data management capability model

Technological progress and change urge organizations to restructure their approach on business. The management of data as a strategic asset becomes more and more vital for the survival and success of enterprises. However, scientific work on data management capabilities of organizations is scarce in the research field of Information Systems. Motivated by this gap in research, we derive a theoretical causal model that relates to data management capabilities under the lens of the Resource-based View. We discuss relevant constructs regarding data usage and management and derive hypotheses that form our proposed research model to enable deeper investigation in the respective research field. Furthermore, our study provides substantial arguments for IT and Applications as moderating constructs, thus, data management cannot be researched individually.
