IS Architecture and Organisation in Concert ― A Human and Business Perspective on Architectural IS Design

摘要

In order to achieve coherence between IS architecture and organisation, a perspective which emphasises human and business issues has been formulated and adopted in action research projects in two Swedish organisations. The main aim of this research has been to articulate a perspective and develop a method that helps organisations to design an IS architecture in concert with their business activities. This paper discusses some key features of this perspective as argumentation for the need of looking at IT in a broader sense than traditionally has been done.
