How to align a firm’s IT resources with its business needs attracts much attention in organisations, and hence in IS research. To date, however, work in this area has been principally atheoretic, and sometimes inconsistent. This project seeks to resolve theoretical inconsistencies to provide an internally consistent explanation on how to achieve alignment, and thereby improve business performance. This project advances knowledge by engaging in: the first multi-theoretic study of how IT alignment evolves; the first comparison of institutional theory, punctuated equilibrium theory, and complexity theory; and the first study that combines a dual-case methodology with simulations in IS research.

如何使企业的IT资源与其业务需求相匹配，引起了组织的广泛关注，也因此成为信息系统研究的热点。然而，到目前为止，这一领域的工作主要是理论上的，有时是不一致的。这个项目寻求解决理论上的不一致，以提供关于如何实现一致性的内部一致的解释，从而提高业务绩效。该项目通过从事以下工作来促进知识的发展：第一个关于IT一致性如何演变的多理论研究；第一个制度理论、间断均衡理论和复杂性理论的比较；以及第一个将双重案例方法与IS研究中的模拟相结合的研究。
