“…Baker, Jones, Cao and Song (2011) study the assessment of the dynamic strategic alignment competency of the organization based on three determinants: the degree of alignment at a given point in time, the organizational history of alignment, and the maturity of business processes. Other texts study the alignment at a subunit level within the organization (Dhaliwal, Onita, Poston and Zhang, 2011), service innovation performance (Huang, 2014), optimization of the alignment between information assurance, information systems and corporate strategy (McFadzen, Ezingeard and Birchall, 2011), the mediation effect of the strategic alignment on the link between IT governance and firm performance (Wu, Straub and Liang, 2015), or the leverage effect of strategic alignment on the performance of a knowledge management system (Sun and Chen, 2008).…”

In this article, we show how to apply profitably bibliometric analysis in IS research as a way to help review and highlight patterns in the literature, and complement traditional methods to do so. This approach can help guide researchers to interpret a more traditional literature review by highlighting important texts to investigate in priority and more particularly. We propose specifically to use two techniques in a complementary manner, co-citation analysis of references and bibliographic coupling analysis of documents, which are described while highlighting the main methodological steps and relevant issues. We illustrate and demonstrate the value of the complementary use of both techniques in a dense and well-established research domain within the IS field: Strategic alignment.

The problem discussed in this paper is the paradox associated with hundreds of contributions of the scientific community over three decades, mainly leveraged by the Strategic Alignment Model (SAM) and its perspectives, but whose benefits arising from its applicability to the real world are scarce. The context of public sector organizations, which does not fit into any of the four perspectives presented by Henderson and Venkatraman (1993), led to the intertwining of the theme with Data Science. The hypothesis formulation involves interconnecting convergent concepts, namely through the adoption of a replicable framework in any worldwide public services, to potentiate the change of perspective, allowing to achieve the desired strategic alignment (IT-Business). It is hoped that the suggestions and recommendations can contribute to leverage significant changes in the Public Sector context in order to optimize the services provided, anticipating the citizen's needs.

“…The Unified Framework (Maes et al, 2000) is a combination of the Generic Framework and the IAF to manage both information and design concerns. The Knowledge Management Strategic Alignment Model (Sun and Chen, 2008) emphasises the role of knowledge management for business/IT alignment, and introduces a new alignment sequence which takes into account this additional dimension. The Innovation Strategic Alignment Model (Katz et al, 2016) focusses on the alignment of innovation activities with the overall business strategy and infrastructure by replacing the IT domain by a new innovation domain.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find alignment concerns (e.g. requirements, restrictions and issues) and addressing them into the design and development of domain-specific information systems (ISs) supporting product manufacturing. Design/methodology/approach The approach is based on two metamodels of the Strategic Alignment Model that formalise its underlying concepts. The metamodels are used to build specific alignment models that define the elements to be aligned and the corresponding alignment sequences. The models and alignment sequences are intended to guide the design and development of an “aligned” domain-specific IS. An industrial case study for the manufacturing industry shows the feasibility of this approach. Findings The instantiation of the alignment models components with information about the specific-domain IS project enabled us to deal with current and future concerns into the design of ISs aligned with the manufacturing strategy and infrastructures. Originality/value IS alignment is generally tackled at a strategic level, in this paper the operational and tactical levels are also addressed.
