解説
問 23
Incorrectア
Formulating the two strategies independently of each other is wrong. If the information systems strategy is created separately from the business strategy, IT investment tends not to connect to business goals and is easily wasted. The two should be kept aligned.
- イ
正解 The information systems strategy defines how to use IT (information systems) in order to realize and support the goals set out in the business strategy. Therefore, in terms of order, the higher-level business strategy comes first, and the information systems strategy is then formulated based on (aligned with) its content. This is the basic idea of “alignment between business strategy and IT strategy,” so イ is the most appropriate.
Incorrectウ
The cause-and-effect relationship is reversed. It is not that “the business strategy is formulated based on the information systems strategy”; rather, formulating the information systems strategy based on the higher-level business strategy is the basic principle. Explaining that the business strategy is decided starting from IT is inappropriate.
Incorrectエ
Although the question asks about the “relationship” between the two strategies, this option switches the topic to merely dividing up which department is in charge, and does not actually explain the relationship. Moreover, the information systems strategy does not belong to the IT department alone; it is a company-wide management issue that should be aligned with the business strategy.
ここがポイント
- The information systems strategy is formulated based on (aligned with) the business strategy, forming a subordinate relationship in which the business strategy is the upper level and the information systems strategy is the lower level.
- Alignment between business strategy and IT strategy (strategic alignment): the idea of linking IT investment to the realization of business goals.
