Every firm looks to have an edge or competitive advantage over the other and in the course of this they become increasingly dependant on external resources and hence, look forward to establish effective portfolios of the inter organizational relationships. This helps them in leveraging external resources and supports their competitive advantage. Nevertheless, what these firms fail to understand is that the systems of IT (information technology) as well as the process capabilities that are necessary for any business organization to develop in order to build and manage the inter organizational portfolios need to be dynamic. It holds high significance that you first draw or come up with the competitive dynamics perspective as well as the resource dependency theory along with the inter-organizational systems, the inter-organizational relationships and the literature of internet technology (IT) management.

In addition, a firm also needs to understand the ways in which the inter-organizational relationships portfolio moderates the various different effects of structural IT capabilities on competitive process capacity. Along with that, a business organization needs to theorize as to why and how the environmental turbulence of the firm moderates or controls the effects of complementary process capacities on competitive performance. Consider the following factors for testing your model.

• The structural internet technology capabilities as well as the process capacities that operate as a system of complements.
• Measure the effects and the collaboration of the structural IT capabilities on transforming business process capabilities.
