Linking information technology strategic alignmnet models
Main Article Content
Abstract
The concept of Information Technology (IT) is becoming increasingly important for the organizations. The effective use of IT in firms, as well as the integration between the IT strategy and the business strategy of a company, have surpassed the idea of IT as a simple tool for process automation and productivity growth. The Strategic Alignment of Information Technology aims at adjusting both the Business and Information Technology's strategies of a company and its internal structures. As such, several Models of Strategic Alignment of IT have been proposed. This article analyzes eight of them. The goal is to propose an articulation among these main existing models of strategic alignment of IT, integrating its common and complementary elements and proposing a new theoretical conceptual model, via an analytic-theoretical triangulation. The proposed model keeps the main concepts found out in the IT Strategic Alignment models analyzed, consolidating and highlighting the issues individually proposed by these Business-IT alignment models.
