This study explores the following research question: How do CEO’s of SME’s seek to achieve and sustain alignment between business strategy and IT strategy in their companies? By conducting in-depth interviews of seven CEOs of SMEs in the Netherlands the experience of these CEOs are explored and most, if not all, of them describe how they do make use of sophisticated strategic planning that combines both business and IT strategy in a manner that appears to be analogous to that previous researchers have documented in large organisations. A number of recommendations are made as to how the methodology used could be improved to gain better understanding of the interplay of the factors involved in achieving and sustaining alignment in SMEs (and, perhaps, even large organisations)
