                 (I/T) has evolved from its traditional orientation of
                 administrative support toward a more strategic role
                 within an organization, there is still a glaring lack
                 of fundamental frameworks within which to understand
                 the potential of I/T for tomorrow's organizations. The
                 authors develop a model for conceptualizing and
                 directing the emerging area of strategic management of
                 information technology. This model, termed the
                 strategic alignment model is defined in terms of four
                 fundamental domains of strategic choice: business
                 strategies, information technology strategy,
                 organizational infrastructure and processes, and
                 information technology infrastructure and
                 processes-each with its own underlying dimensions. The
                 authors illustrate the power of this model in terms of
                 two fundamental characteristics of strategic
                 management: strategic fit (the interrelationships
                 between external and internal components) and
                 functional integration (integration between business
                 and functional domains). More specifically, they derive
                 four perspectives of alignment with specific
                 implications for guiding management practice in this
                 importance area.",
