本研究欲了解具有高資訊科技適應能力的公司是否會因為策略聯盟的組成而更加提升其市場表現。我們使用InformationWeek每年提供的IW500排名來識別具有高資訊科技應用能力的公司，並在2007年至2016年的10年內收集這些公司所做的策略聯盟宣告。結果顯示累積異常報酬沒有顯著的支持，但我們發現技術型策略聯則具有正向的影響，為未來相關之研究提供了更清晰的維度。

This study investigates whether firms with high information capacity have the tendency to improve strategic alliance performance. We use IW500 ranking provided by InformationWeek to identify firms with great IT capacity and collect strategic alliance announcement made by those firms within 10 years, from 2007 to 2016. There is no significant result in cumulated abnormal return, but we found technological alliance type a significant and positive result which provide a clearer dimension for the related research in the future.
