business strategy that drives both organizational strategy and IS strategy - successful
firms must carefully balance all 3 strategies

organizational design
- the business, IS, and organizational strategies must constantly be adjusted

organizational strategies
- success can be achieved only by specifically designing all 3 components of the
strategy triangle so they properly complement each other
alignment - ANS-the situation in which a co.'s current and emerging business strategy is
enabled and supported yet unconstrained by technology
alignment is good but there are higher states, namely synchronization and convergence
synchronization - ANS-technology not only enables current business strategy but also
anticipates and shapes future business practice
convergence - ANS-goes one step further (than synchronization) by exhibiting a state in
which business strategy and technological strategy are intertwined and the leadership
team members operate almost interchangeably
, *alignment in this text means any of these 3 states & pertains to the balance btwn
organizational strategy, IS strategy, and business strategy
strategy - ANS-a coordinated set of actions to fulfill objectives, purposes, and goals
