چکیده
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) researchers have been examining the social or relational aspects of ICT-business alignment for over twenty years. This research has examined not only the barriers to alignment, but also has suggested tangible ways to achieve relational ICTbusiness alignment. The research outlined in the paper briefly examines this research and outlines a study that will delve into the impact of Chief Information Officer (CIO) influence attempts on relational ICT-business alignment. A convenience sample of Irish CIOs will be interviewed on this subject and the data gathered will be subsequently analyzed. The preliminary results suggest that successful influence attempts build ICT-business alignment while unsuccessful influence attempts create misalignment.
