Abstract: Information Systems (IS) are becoming increasingly important for business and industry to improve their competitiveness in an ever dynamic market. This paper analyzes the strategic management approaches and the strategic significance of Information systems in information driven business economies. The various strategic IS concepts are identified and the importance of aligning IS and Information Technology (IT) goals and business goals is highlighted. Considering the growing interest and the vital role of Information Systems in improving the competitive position of firms, this paper reviews both academic and practitioner research in this area to provide insights in aligning IS and corporate objectives. It concludes that based on the strategic importance of IS, there is need to develop a framework that leverages IS/IT strategies with business objectives.
