  Despite a general agreement on the business value of information technology (IT), the determination of the link between organizational performance and IT investments is still a challenge. Organizations worldwide heavily invest in IT without evidence of productivity improvements. We propose value catalogues as a starting point for the identification of IT business value in an organization. Since the values vary depending on the organizational context, a company-specific value catalogue is necessary. To avoid the repeated development of a catalogue for each new IT investment, a company-specific reference value catalogue is required. Applying a design science research method, we identified four steps to develop this reference value catalogue: catalogue selection, impact selection, hierarchy establishment, and quantification determination. In this paper, we focus on the first step, which resembles the rigor cycle, and develop a taxonomy for 32 existing IT value catalogues, which form the basis for the next three steps.

  The business value of IT in companies is a highly discussed topic in information systems research. While the IT business value is an agreed upon term, its decomposition and assessment on a more detailed level is ambiguous in literature and practice. However, assessing the IT business value is pivotal for goal-oriented IT management. Therefore, we suggest a hierarchical decomposition of the IT business value along aggregated impacts and atomic impacts. We introduce a taxonomy to gain a better understanding of what types of atomic impacts may be caused by IT investments. With the help of the taxonomy, we classify a total of 957 values from existing value catalogs and derive 29 archetypal IT impacts grouped by a company’s business units. Bundling this grouping with exemplary impacts for the IT value assessment, we finally propose an IT value meta-framework for the structured business value assessment.
