Abstract

This study aimed to identify the mediating role of organizational intelligence between information technology capabilities and competitive advantage. The data were collected from a sample of 224 employees of various managerial positions in e-commerce companies in Jordan. Process macro v3.5 was applied to process data collected. The study concluded that information technology capabilities and organizational intelligence play an essential role in raising and improving competitive advantage and responding to business environmental changes. Empirical evidence indicated a need to develop information technology capabilities via organizational intelligence due to its positive impact on competitive advantage.
