Examining the effect of strategic alignment on business performance: Knowledge management, information technology, and human resource management strategies

Empirical data for hypotheses testing are collected from top-ranked companies in Taiwan; yielding 161 valid samples. Performance implications of strategic alignment are examined using matching approaches. The generated findings show that the reductionistic perspective of fit as matching demonstrates a significant impact on business performance.
