Abstract: By collecting 76 Chinese listed companies with a 2-13 year magnitude and approximately 360 samples of observations data, this paper empirically studies the relationship between information systems and enterprise value in the Chinese context by using GLS regression method. This study draws the following conclusions: 1) In the short term, the use of information systems has a statistically negative effect on enterprise value, and in reality, this negative impact is obviously significant, however, over a longer period of time, this negative impact decreases year by year, and has an effect of increasing marginal returns, showing a U-shape relationship. In the long run, the use of information systems has a statistically significant and positive impact on enterprise value. 2) The complementary influence between information systems and human capital on enterprise value is statistically positive.
