Abstract

Factors affecting business-information technology strategic alignment have been investigated in numerous research studies, mostly in developed countries including Western Europe and North America. Given that the Western world has a distinct business culture, there is reason to investigate the boundaries of the generalizability of these research studies. This article, therefore, investigates strategic alignment in a non-Western, developing-country context, specifically Iran. For this purpose, the antecedents of alignment in the existing literature were investigated. After categorizing them and developing a research model, the model was tested using structural equation modeling. Our main aim is to find out whether the antecedents identified in prior studies are also relevant in Iran. The results provide preliminary evidence of differences between the factors affecting strategic alignment in each region.
