However, for the most part, financial markets do not respond to SST announcements. This is in line with the strategic necessity hypothesis and the resource\u2010based view of the firm, but may also be partly due to the phased rollouts that are typical of these implementations (which dilute the impact over time).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>It proved quite difficult to locate original public announcements of SST investments in publicly traded companies; thus, the sample size is smaller than desired. However, a bootstrapping method was used to crosscheck the findings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Firms should not promise investors immediate increase in firm value, but rather demonstrate the benefits from a longer term, competitive and customer\u2010oriented perspective.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first study to consider the effect of implementing SSTs using event study methodology. Most prior SST studies have considered behavioural aspects of the implementation, while most prior event studies that have considered IT implementations have done so in a general sense, not focusing on a specific technology. Using a new dataset collected from two decades of SST implementations, this study focuses on the impact of SSTs from a different perspective.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/17410390810904238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,27]],"date-time":"2008-09-27T07:03:43Z","timestamp":1222499023000},"page":"448-467","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["How financial markets reflect the benefits of self\u2010service technologies"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth J.","family":"Klassen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022020920245609300_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Barclay, M.J. and Litzenberger, R.H.
