Strategic Layout

In a competitive business environment, project management aligned with the business strategy caters to the organisation goals. Researchers and practitioners are constantly probing into the possible enhancement of the existing approaches to manage projects. Though the relevant literature recommends numerous methodologies to enhance the achievement of project performance, yet the importance of power evacuation projects is still unnoticed and little has been done in this area. This research aims to develop a strategic layout using critical influence factors (CIFs) of power evacuation projects. A survey is carried out in 47 companies which are working on power evacuation projects. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that there is a significant direct and indirect impact of the strategy, risk, contract, information technology (IT) and stakeholders on the project performance with respect to power evacuation projects.

Certain contingencies of business environment raise the importance of alignment in the explanation of tactics with strategic implications. Alignment is an important aspect that has to be examined in all multivariate and normative models. In this paper, the Information Technology (IT) alignment is examined along with business strategy and structure, while taking into account environmental contingencies. The concept of alignment raises the strategic role of information technology through the integration of business and IT strategy. Most of the firms nowadays cannot capture the strategic role of IT and underestimating its value as persisting only on financial valuation. In this work, an attempt has been made to fill out this lack of strategic estimation by the use of the alignment model. A taxonomy of strategic information technology applications is presented and an integration of IT with business strategy and structure is attempted in order to create competitive advantage.
