Abstract It is well known that there exists a significant difference between Chinese and foreign enterprises in terms of their IT application levels. However, what causes this difference remains unknown, and how to narrow the gap is yet to be explored. This paper tries to propose some strategies for domestic companies to improve their IT application levels and their competitiveness. By using the data collected through the interviews with 123 enterprises, we have conducted an empirical study to examine the impact of system capability and management capability on IT application levels. We find that Chinese and foreign enterprises differ in these two capacities and in their IT application levels. It is suggested that the domestic enterprises should focus on improving their process management efficiencies in order to increase their IT application levels.
