Abstract
In modern organisations, the development of an Information System answers to strategic needs of the business. As such, it must be aligned at the same time with software and corporate goals. Capturing its requirements is a complex task as it have to deal with a variety of different and potentially conflicting needs. In this paper, we propose a novel conceptual framework for requirements modelling and validation, based on economic and business strategy theory.
