This case is currently taught in Darden's ““First-Year Strategy”” course. Scott Snell also teaches it in his second year elective, ““Developing Organizational Capability””. The case would be useful in any course that examines the topic of core capabilities, organizational change, or strategic alignment. This field-based case provides an overview of reorganization at AstraZeneca UK Limited (AZN) and focuses on the processes, systems, and people (human and social capital) in the R&D unit. It allows for an examination of AZN’s core capabilities and how enterprise leadership requires making an explicit connection between investments in people and performance that benefit the firm. The strategy includes: build a pipeline with new prescription drugs that were unique enough to provide a differentiated benefit to patients, grow the business globally, streamline the organization and increase efficiency, and build a culture of courage, creativity, and collaboration. What areas of R&D should the company invest in, and what would the R&D transformation look like?

ABSTRACT: This paper reviews Information Systems (IS) literature that is relevant to Information Technology Governance (ITG) and examines how it informs Accounting Information Systems (AIS). We present a taxonomy of research encompassing the focus areas identified by the IT Governance Institute (ITGI), namely Strategic Alignment (SA), Risk Management (RK), Resource Management (RM), Value Delivery (VD) and Performance Measurement (PM). Based upon 496 papers in ten IS/AIS and two Management Accounting journals over the period 1998–2008, we discuss research perspectives and identify avenues for future research. Results revealed a lack of integration between focus areas, with little about ITG as a whole.

Purpose This research aims to establish the role of the purchasing function’s strategic alignment in the relationship between well-established practices and performance in that function. It is argued that the strategic alignment of purchasing may have effects (direct, mediating and moderating effects) on the purchasing function’s operating performance. Design/methodology/approach The hypotheses derived from key studies about strategic and advanced purchasing practices are tested with data from 156 industrial companies using structural equation modelling methodology. Findings The results suggest that the effect of strategic alignment on the role of purchasing consists of mediated effects on purchasing performance through implementation of certain advanced practices. It was also concluded that strategic alignment – as well as the implementation of these advanced purchasing practices – fosters the implementation of differentiation strategies based on quality, dependability and flexibility rather than on the implementation of cost leadership strategies. Research limitations/implications Although it is a common practice in operations management research, the use of perceptual measures obtained from a single informant constitutes a noteworthy limitation. Future research should make an effort to combine different sources of information and to identify and use more objective indicators. Practical implications Top managers should take into account the need to involve the purchasing function in the firm’s strategic planning process. Originality/value The results not only confirm findings from previous literature as to the purchasing function’s strategic relevance but also help clarify the mechanisms that make this integration important.

Strategic Outcomes

The business environment today in Indonesia is shifting to a whole new level of measuring its performances. Rather than only one financial perspective which causes evaluating the customer's needs, the internal processes, and the human resources separately, the company must have a comprehensive tool to link its vision and missions into strategies that can be implemented and measured. This research aims to analyze and explore the linkage of vision, missions into strategy map, also a measurement of performances at the company using SWOT analysis, TOWS analysis, IE matrix, and Balanced Scorecard analysis. This research presents that balanced scorecard measurement could give benefits by exploring the non-financial perspectives that enable the company to create strategic alignment between strategic objectives that link the company’s vision and missions into strategic outcomes and performance driver so can boost the company’s performance.

Information technology governance (ITG) is one of the top challenges of managers today and culture in different level can have an important role while implementing IT governance. This is a new and significant issue, which has not been investigated deeply. This paper sets out to provide a systematic review of the literature, focusing on the role of culture in IT governance. The literature review findings are categorized through the lens of IT governance's five focus areas which are IT strategic alignment, IT value delivery, Risk management, IT resource management and Performance measurement. This study contributes to the field of IT governance by reviewing and discussing the existing literature on the role of culture on IT governance. This literature review resulted that there are few research studies in this topic and many of the IT governance focus areas are not covered regarding the role of culture in these IT governance areas.

The purpose of this empirical study is to evaluate the extent to which information security governance domain practices: strategic alignment, value delivery, resource management, risk management, and performance measurement relate to information security governance effectiveness. Random sampling technique was employed and data were collected via web survey from Ghanaian organizations. Employing three multiple regression models, the results showed there were statistically significant positive linear relationship between information security governance domain practices and information security governance effectiveness. Overall, the model produced R2 = .505, indicating that 50.5% of the variance in information security governance effectiveness was explained by information security governance domain practices. The results highlighted resource management, performance measurement and risk management practices as the predictors of organizational information security governance effectiveness while strategic alignment contributed only marginally to the models. Therefore, to attain higher information security governance effectiveness, organizations should focus on strategic alignment between the business and information security attributes.
