Amitha Padukkage, Val Hooper, Janet Toland

摘要:

本文提出了一个全面的研究环境的不确定性对业务的IT对齐的影响。现有的文献假设环境的不确定性作为一个关键的挑战,实现业务IT对齐。因此,本研究的第一个目标是确定环境的不确定性对业务的IT对齐的影响程度,并确定其相对影响的其他前提。此外,中小企业在许多方面与大公司有着根本的不同。因此,本文还旨在研究中小企业和大型企业之间的差异,战略调整的前因。基于从212家企业收集的数据,对研究目标的概念模型进行了测试。研究结果提供了重要的贡献,研究和实践,展示了环境的不确定性的相对影响,并显示如何对齐的前因不同的中小企业和大公司。

英文摘要:

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the influence of environmental uncertainty on business-IT alignment. The existing literature postulates environmental uncertainty as a key challenge to achieving business-IT alignment. Hence, the first objective of this study is to identify the extent of the impact of environmental uncertainty on business-IT alignment, and to determine its relative impact in the light of the other antecedents. Furthermore, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) differ fundamentally from large firms in many ways. Thus this paper also aims to investigate the variation between SMEs and large firms with regard to the antecedents for strategic alignment. Based on data collected from 212 firms, a conceptual model is tested against the research objectives. The findings provide important contributions to both research and practice by demonstrating the relative impact of environmental uncertainty, and showing how the antecedents of alignment vary between SMEs and large firms.
