A FOUR-STAGE EVOLUTION MODEL OF BUSINESS-IT STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: AN INTEGRATED PERSPECTIVE

摘要

Business-IT Strategic Alignment (BISA) has been consistently ranked over the past two decades as a one of the top priorities by Chief Information Officers (CIO). This paper reviews the BISA origins, its fundamental concepts, and its frameworks from a pragmatic and integrated perspective. The challenges of BISA are also briefly discussed. The paper contributes to the body of literature with an integrated view of this important concept as gleaned from an analysis of the published works. The paper concludes with recommendations for interpreting the BISA literature and applying the BISA knowledge by practitioners.
