Abstract
This research paper relates user satisfaction-based measures of IS success with competitive behavior. Drawing from research in the MIS and strategic management domains, this paper proposes mediated relationships in which user satisfaction influences a firm’s ability to execute competitive actions, which in turn affects firm performance. In particular, this research posits that information systems characterized by high levels of decision support satisfaction assist in the development of successful strategic competitive actions and information systems having high levels of task support satisfaction facilitate rapid retaliatory responses to competitor’s initial tactical actions.
