Align IT with business strategy to strengthen your firm's competitive position. This book introduces the Strategic Alignment Model, a framework that links how you formulate strategy with how you implement it through information technology. It explains how IT planning evolves from simply allocating resources to actively shaping business direction.
In clear terms, the author shows how four planning domains interact to drive performance: business strategy, organizational infrastructure and processes, IT strategy, and IT infrastructure and processes. You’ll see how choices in one domain affect the others and why a complete, valid planning process matters for real-world success.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new model of information technology (IT) planning, known as Strategic Alignment, that combines traditional functional integration with strategic fit. Functional integration builds upon previous strategic IT planning by acknowledging the dynamic relationship between IT and business strategies. Strategic fit examines the relations between strategy formulation and implementation. Its dimensions reflect an external-internal fit requirement that must be managed, with a focus on general organizational and IT organizational aspects. The author argues that IT management should consider its impact on strategic fit, assessing the potential IT has to affect the relationship between strategy and structure. This perspective requires examining the implications for implementing strategies and the fit between business strategy and organizational infrastructure. The book also defines four theoretical attributes of strategic alignment: consistency, completeness, validity and comprehensiveness and proposes four propositions relating these attributes to the effectiveness of an IT planning process. The author concludes that effective strategic IT planning requires an understanding of the strategic fit between IT and business strategies, taking into account the organizational context and environmental uncertainty. By doing so, organizations can maximize the effectiveness of their strategic planning processes.
