Strategic Alignment: A Purposeful Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
Des approches traditionnelles a l’alignement stratégique ont été critiquées parce qu’elles soulignent l’hiérarchie et le rationalisme. Ces approches ont eu comme conséquence les théories et les modèles conceptuels qui ne s’appliquent pas bien aux situations réelles qu’on rencontre dans les enterprises. Ce papier de recherche en cours offre une nouvelle perspective sur l’alignement stratégique qui donne la priorité aux contributions humaines. Le modèle proposé est basé sur deux théories précèdemment développées: la “purposeful systems paradigm” d’Ulrich (1983) et “cultural historical activity theory”. Une étude de cas est employée pour illustrer comment les deux théories peuvent être combinées et mises en pratique en ce qui concerne l’alignement stratégique.
