The planned topic for research in the IT management area concerns the informal organizational structure and business-IT alignment relationship. The main research objective is to investigate this relationship and find how the informal organizational structure can support the achievement of business-IT alignment in organizations. The value that IT adds to the business is a function of how business and IT are aligned, and this alignment is still difficult for organizations to attain. The study of the relationship between informal organization structure and business-IT alignment is important because the identification of informal organizational factors can facilitate the achievement of business-IT alignment, thereby adding value to organizations.

The findings of this research in business-IT alignment will contribute with new knowledge to both research and practice in this field of study.
