The Relationships Between Wireless Network Communication, It Flexibility, It Architecture, And Strategic Alignment: An Empirical Study

摘要

Strategic alignment and wireless communication network are two important areas that receive considerable attention in two last decades, for this reason, we try to evaluate the relation between these two important concepts. This study discussed and empirically tested the most important factors that affect strategic alignment and wireless network communication. The objective of this paper is to analysis and provides a model for the effect of wireless network connectivity on strategic alignment in the case of Iraqi firms. For this purpose, we consider the relationship between information technology flexibility and strategic alignment and also we involve three important dimension of flexibility in our research. Connectivity is voice and data Communication infrastructure of networks. We empirically tested our model using data collected from executives of 55 Iraqi firms. The results show that strategic alignment is not positively correlated with wireless network communication; so successful communication in a wireless network indicates good connectivity.
