Abstract We provide summaries of over 150 alignment articles. The information is intended to assist faculty and graduate students who are conducting IT alignment-related research. The findings presented should interest practitioners also. We hope that the article will facilitate the ongoing study and practice of IT alignment. Journal of Information Technology (2007) 22, 316–396. doi:10.1057/palgrave.jit.2000111 Published online 2 October 2007 Keywords: alignment; linkage; fit; methods; theories; findings
he following chart summarizes a literature review of many influential articles on information technology alignment.1 It provides a snapshot of much of the literature to date in this area. Articles are reviewed in alphabetical order and are described based on their research method, theory/concept, and findings. These columns, however, are not mutually exclusive; column content overlaps at times. The research method indicates the type of study conducted by the authors, most commonly a conceptual paper, case study, survey, or other empirical study. Discussion in the theory or conceptual column elaborates on what the authors cite as the basis or starting point for their research. This column represents the article’s foundation. The findings column is used to briefly present key points from the article, such as frameworks developed, hypotheses supported, significant relationships, best practices, and directions for future research. The summaries contained in this chart represent the interpretations of the articles produced by the researchers and their

research assistants. Alternative interpretations or important subsidiary findings are welcomed by the authors. Should several be received, the Journal of Information Technology has agreed to post a revised version of this table on their website.
