Abstract

In the last years, the alignment issue was addressed in several researches and numerous methods, techniques and tools were proposed. Therefore, a support for choosing the approach that is the most suitable one to a specific need is required. This paper proposes a characterization framework useful for evaluating different alignment approaches, with the aim of discovering similarity, maturity, capability to measure, model, asses and evolve the alignment level existing among business and technological assets of an enterprise. The proposed framework is applied to analyse the alignment research published in the Information & Management journal that that more published on this topic. The achieved evaluation results are presented.
