January 2008 - Dr. Kissinger Authors "Alignment of IT and the Business"
When the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it was described as "One of the most influential and controversial-pieces of corporate legislation ever to have hit a statute book" (The Economist, 2005). A hypothesized and perhaps unintended side effect of the required compliance efforts is increased alignment between Information Technology (IT) and business units. This study utilized a survey based on Luftman's (2003) six IT-Business alignment criteria and scoring tool, modified to include specific questions on compliance efforts on alignment. The results of the study argue that there is a linkage between alignment and compliance efforts. Obtain a copy on Amazon.
