This paper studied the relationship between corporate information technology (IT) capability and alliance performance based on a sample of Chinese corporate alliances. With regression analysis, this paper found IT capability has significantly positive effect on alliance performance and knowledge acquisition plays a role as a mediator, while regional industrial factor plays a role as a moderator. That means the positive effect of IT capability on alliance performance is stronger in cross-region alliances than same-region alliances and is stronger in high-dynamic industry than low-dynamic industry. The foundings can provide some valuable suggestions for executives and related policy-makers, especially in emerging markets.
