Abstract

The importance and issue of strategic business and IT alignment to achieve organization performance, a multifarious IS/IT frameworks, continues to perplex. It is contended that an internal focused IS/IT approach might not meet the needs of its both internal and external customers. This paper proposes a market based push-pull framework to ensure that the push strategy of the organization in what it wants to offer and at a price that it intends to offer is matched with the pull strategy of the market in what it wants to buy and at a price it is willing to pay. Once the market pull and firm push strategy is identified, the alignment of the IT would be based the push-pull effect of the business requirement to serve and satisfy not only the internal customers’ needs but also the external customers’ needs and requirements through the organization’s value proposition. The IT as a key enabler would be the main enabling mechanism to create and deliver on the value as proposed to the customers. This would define the measurable outcomes of the organization performance in creating and delivering the customer value as proposed based on the push-pull effect of the organization.
