This book explores the relationship between top management's understanding of the strategic alignment between the business and information technology (IT) domains and the organizational context in which that understanding is manifested. Using responses from a nationwide survey of top executives in the health care industry, the author tests a series of hypotheses regarding the context -strategic alignment relationship. The author also examines the impact of two contingency variables: structure of the top management team and perceived environmental uncertainty. Overall, the findings indicate systematic linkages between the information-processing activities of top managers and their understanding of the critical relationships that define strategic alignment. The specific relationships and contingencies found suggest that managers must manage the context in which they strive to make sense of their ambiguous environments as well as the specific business and IT issues they are forced to confront if they are to be successful in utilizing IT as a source of competitive advantage.
