DESCRIPTION:Prof. D. J. Wu\, Georgia Institute of Technology\n"IT Knowledg
 e Spillovers and Productivity: Evidence from Enterprise Software"Abstract:
 \nWe evaluate the value to firms of participating in an Internet-enabled n
 etwork of practice in which IT professionals exchange ideas and help each 
 other resolve problems related to the implementation and use of enterprise
  software. We show that IT spillovers that take place in these online comm
 unity networks contribute positively and significantly to firm productivit
 y: by our estimates\, a one percent increase in inward IT knowledge spillo
 vers translates to a $0.48 million increase in added value for an average 
 firm in our sample. Further\, we highlight the limits of the extent to whi
 ch firms can benefit from participating in these Internet-enabled networks
  of practice\, by showing that the value of spillovers arises primarily fr
 om flows of technical rather than business knowledge related to the enterp
 rise software’s modules.\nAvailable at: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/pape
