IT EDUCATION STRATEGY ORIENTED TO THE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN BUSINESS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

In this paper we analyze the significance of IT education strategy oriented to the alignment between information systems and business systems. We establish goals and develop concepts, and present a methodological frame of strategic IT education. We report the results of our research and investigate the way and intensity of the impact of strategic IT education on the factors influencing the alignment and linking between information systems and business strategies. From the point of view of our research, we have focused on factors that have an influence on the alignment between information systems and business strategies, and factors affecting organisational effectiveness. Factors influencing strategic IT education have also been systematized within the categories of business/information system alignment, and organisational effectiveness. Since strategic IT education has been recognized and organized in different concepts, we have included three concepts in our questionnaires: strategic IT education for managers, organisational learning and e- learning.
