Abstract: To clarify the mechanism of how software engineering capabilities relate to business performance of IT vendors, we analysed data collected from 100 major IT vendors. Then, we verified the relationships among software engineering capabilities and business performance vary significantly depending on origin of vendor: maker-turned, user-turned or independent. In maker-turned vendors, service, process, and product innovations are effectively connected. In user-turned vendors, software engineering innovation is probably attributable to a management policy of paying extra attention to business performance. In independent vendors, human resource development is the only factor that positively and significantly influences the other capabilities and business performance.
