文摘

We analyze the use of ACAP in IS research through a comprehensive literature analysis. We reveal that the majority of the IS research conceptualizes ACAP as a capability. Various misalignments between ACAP conceptualization, operationalization and measurement continue to do a disservice to the accumulated research. The research should help IS researchers to conceptualize and operationalize ACAP appropriately.
