  text: The economic relevance of information systems has been studied for many years
    and has attracted an abundance of research papers. However, the ?productivity
    paradoxon? of the 90s, Carr?s widely recognized paper ?IT doesn?t matter?, and
    several studies that do not find a positive correlation between IS investments
    and economic performance reveal long-lasting difficulties for IS researchers to
    explain ?IS business value?. Business executives and researchers also continue
    to question the value of IS investments. This raises the question of whether literature
    reviews have tapped their potential to address the concerns by covering key research
    areas of IS business value and preserving their key findings. In order to address
    this question, this paper identifies and describes 12 key research areas, and
    synthesizes what literature reviews published in pertinent academic outlets have
    done to preserve knowledge. The analysis of 22 literature reviews shows that some
    crucial areas have not been (sufficiently) covered. They provide fertile areas
    for future literature reviews. As this work is based on the results of more than
    200 research papers, it is capable of drawing a comprehensive picture of the current
    state-of-the-art in IS business value research.
