Abstract
How are companies managed today and what part does business/IT alignment play? Executive information systems (EIS) should support top management in managing a company. But many executives complain that EIS still bear little relevance to their management task. This article examines the role of business/IT alignment within a new-generation EIS architecture and contributes a more strongly usiness-driven model than the state-of-the-art. A prototype demonstrates an instantiation of this approach. The findings are synthesized into seven hypotheses on business/IT alignment that should lead to better EIS architecture and also be applicable to information systems (IS) in general.Keywords: corporate management, IT support for top management: executive information systems (EIS), business/IT alignment in IS architecture
