Information systems alignment in uncertain environments

چکیده
Managing an organization is a delicate art of achieving alignment between its various internal and external components. In particular, the alignment between an organization’s strategy, its environment and its information system has traditionally been a key management issue and has been largely investigated. However, the contribution of information systems towards achieving alignment between these components has been much less considered. This paper presents a theoretical framework for designing a strategic DSS for assessing the organization’s environment and evaluating its potential evolution scenarios.
