Abstract :
We provide a review of the measurement literature in IT-business alignment, addressing questions such as: What is IT-business alignment? How to measure and assess IT-business alignment? What benefits can reasonably be expected from IT alignment? In this article, the different fit models and capability maturity model perspectives on the measurement of IT alignment are analyzed. We propose integrating views and suggest future directions, the study is intended to be useful to faculty and practitioners seeking to assess the ´state-of-play´.
