A social approach to aligning IT strategy with the organization business.

Thesis (MTech. degree in Business Information Systems)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2011. / Studies done in Information Technology (IT) mostly demonstrate and capture the significant and acceptance of IT in organizations. IT has become an increasingly fundamental section of every organization, extending into our personal environment. Studies have been done focusing just on IT acceptance use and how IT leverages our daily life or the business. With a sound implementation and use, IT can enable a business to prosper. This dissertation argues that a sound development and implementation of an IT strategy may be leveraged with the consideration of social factors - these factors often get left out as organizations tend to focus more on the technological aspect of IT. Against the above backdrop, this minor dissertation focused on how communication, power and culture relationships as social factors affect the development, maintenance and alignment of the IT strategy with the business.
