“…There have been frameworks such as the Strategic Alignment Model that attempt to lay out how business strategy and information technology strategy communicate and adapt (Goepp and Avila, 2015). However, there is the belief that these models may fast be becoming outdated, as the organization has already begun the shift to a consolidated strategy focus, which does not view information technology as separate.…”

“…The second is operational integration, which represents the linkage between organizational infrastructure and processes and information systems infrainfrastructure and processes (Coltman, et al, 2015;Goepp and Avila, 2015). These two types are critical as they portray internal coherence and take advantage of the increasing benefits of information technology on the organization.…”

“…It identifies two types of integration between business and information technology strategies. The first is strategic integration, which is the linkage between information technology strategy and business strategy, highlighting information technology functionality to support business strategy (Coltman, et al, 2015;Goepp and Avila, 2015).…”

“…The Strategic Alignment Model was developed to conceptualize this alignment. Strategic alignment is built on two foundational blocks, strategic fit and functional integration (Goepp and Avila, 2015). Strategic fit realizes the need for any strategy to target both the internal and external domains (Goepp and Avila, 2015).…”

Abstract:The exponential development of information technology has presented many opportunities to organizations; however, it has also presented several challenges. A key challenge is how do organizations effectively use information technology and incorporate it into their strategies to make full use of its capabilities as an enabler. The fast-changing nature of information technology has resulted in little empirical evidence on how it influences organization strategy. The Strategic Alignment Model was a popular model created to assist organizations to align their information technology and their business strategy; however, the growth of technology may have made this model irrelevant in this age. Therefore, organizations need to determine what factors drive this alignment. Using hermeneutic phenomenology, 12 in-depth interviews were conducted within IBM South Africa to determine real-life drivers that help create this alignment. The themes derived from the interview texts reveal that consumers are becoming more empowered; therefore, organizations need to be more flexible in their business models and strategies. Furthermore, the integration of cross-functional roles in the organization at the management level allow for improved alignment between information technology and strategy as better integrated roles bring a combination of these two elements.

The development of Interoperability is a necessity for organisations to achieve business goals and capture new market opportunities. Indeed, interoperability allows enterprises to exchange information and use it to seize their shared goals. Therefore, it should be verified and continuously improved. This is the main objective of the Interoperability Assessment (INAS). Indeed, such an assessment aims at determining the strengths and weakness of an enterprise in terms of interoperability. Many surveys and reviews have been proposed in the literature to analyse the existing INAS approaches. However, the majority of these reviews are focusing on specific properties rather than a general view of an INAS. Therefore, this paper proposes a systematic literature review of INAS approaches. The objectives are to identify the relevant INAS approaches and to compare them based on a holistic view based on their similar and different properties (e.g. type of assessment, the used measurement mechanism, and the addressed interoperability barriers). A bibliometric analysis of the selected INAS approaches is also conducted with a discussion of their advantages and limitations.
