The Influence of a New Model of IT Leadership on Organizational Change Management and IT-Business Value Delivery in the First Phase of Digital Transformation Amid COVID-19

Abstract

This study examines and analyzes the influence of a new model of IT leadership on organizational change management and IT-business value in large manufacturing companies. This study used a quantitative research method; data were collected using a questionnaire using SmartPLS 4. This study involved 47 large manufacturing companies as unit analysis with multistage sampling in sample selection, first by purposive sampling and second by the Slovin formula. The results of this study stated that IT leadership affects organizational change management significantly but has no effect on IT-business value. Organizational change management affects IT-business value significantly. The lack of experience and knowledge in IT leadership has an impact on failure in delivering IT-business value. The results of this study provide valuable insight for IT executives in developing their IT leadership, business executives for their engagement in IT-business value delivery, and manufacturing companies to cope with their struggles in managing change in the ERP implementation, especially in the first phase of their digital transformation to achieve IT-business value successfully.
