In this study, the literature on strategic alignment,
strategy modeling and infrastructure architecture modeling
has been analyzed and a prototype has been developed for
modeling business strategy and IT strategy as well as the
relationship between. This modeling technique allows
improving the business and IT alignment based on the
Strategic Alignment Model of Henderson and Venkatraman.
The modeling language is an extension and adaptation of the
Business Motivation Model of OMG. The elements, which
constitute the overall strategy, can belong to a business view,
an IT view or to both. Due to this feature, it is possible to
visualize the IT view (IT strategy) or the business view
(business strategy) of the generic strategy separately. A
concrete example shows how a strategy may be developed.
