Abstract (De)
The disruptive changes that Information Technology (IT) has brought to many industries are now requiring organizations to redefine themselves to include IT as driver of every aspect of their business. The resulting demand for innovating business processes places massive pressure on IT departments who have been focusing on efficient operation in the last decades. This paper develops ways in which business and IT can cooperate in such turbulent times to allow the exploration of new technologies to improve business processes and at the same time not jeopardize existing operations. The resulting adaptive Business IT Alignment (BITA) model divides the lifecycle of an application into four stages and associates three distinct forms of BITA. A first evaluation has shown that similar models of controlled imbalance between business and IT are already being applied in practice, however, lacking guidance from scholarly research.
