Design And Validation Of A Methodology For Assessing The Level Of Maturity Of Strategic Alignment Of Information Technology, Diseno Y Validacion De Una Metodologia Para Evaluar El Nivel De Madurez De La Alineacion Estrategica De Las Tecnologias De La Informacion

Alignment between Business and Information Technologies (IT) has become one of the priorities of organizations today. The focus of this research is to identify the level of maturity that companies’ strategies show when aligning ICT with Business needs. We use the variables proposed in the Administrative Manual of General Application in Technology Information and Communications (MAAGTIC), which is a regulatory framework developed by the Mexican government in our analysis. The methodology for data collection developed a process-based construct corresponding to the levels of management which yields a set of 120 threads proposed in MAAGTIC. The initial construct was placed on a website for easy access and speed of responses. Experts were selected and calculated for the same competition coefficient K from Ka argument coefficient and the coefficient of knowledge (Kc). In the validation of the construct a Cronbach's alpha of 0.984 was obtained. The Kaiser, Meyer, Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's sphericity were used to test and guarantee the feasibility of the reduction was 0.726. In order to evaluate the correlation between variables was used Correspondence Analysis (multiple), decision trees with Exhaustive CHAID growing method and discriminant analysis. Once the variables were reduced, a construct structural equation was evaluated for application in an organization.
