Q
The study addresses a theoretically neglected topic. What is the topic and what ideas are developed within the study?
A
This study addresses the theoretically neglected interplay between organizational information technology (IT) architecture and IT governance structure in shaping IT alignment.
(1) The authors theoretically develop the idea that IT architecture modularity helps sustain IT alignment by increasing IT agility,
(2) and that decentralization of IT governance strengthens this relationship. IT architecture therefore complements IT governance structure.
