Sustainability, Vol. 10, Pages 2261: The Role of Planning and Implementation of ICT in Operational Benefits Sustainability doi: 10.3390/su10072261 Authors: Rubén Jesús Pérez-López Jesús Everardo Olguín-Tiznado Jorge Luis García-Alcaraz Claudia Camargo-Wilson Juan Andrés López-Barreras This article reports a model of structural equations that integrates four latent variables and six hypotheses among them: Integration of information and communication technology (ICT), investment in ICT, training in ICT, and operational benefits obtained in the supply chain (SC). The model is validated with information obtained from 80 surveys applied to manufacturing companies in the municipalities of Ensenada, Mexicali, Tecate, and Tijuana in Mexico. The information is validated by the Cronbach alpha index for internal validity and the R-square index for predictive validity. Partial least-squares algorithms are used to validate the hypotheses in the model and the results indicate that the integration of technology is the basis for the success of the implementation of information technologies, and that the application of these guarantees the obtaining of operational benefits in the productive system.
