    Este estudio investiga el efecto de la alineación entre las estrategias corporativas, operativas y de sistemas de información y los rendimientos de la firma. Se recolectaron datos a partir de la aplicación de 138 cuestionarios a grandes empresas de servicios en el sector eléctrico australiano. En el análisis se utilizó la modelación mediante ecuaciones estructurales, con el fin de establecer la relación de dependencia entre las variables. Los resultados sugieren que alinear las estrategias operativas y de sistemas de información puede mejorar el rendimiento de la firma. Así mismo, no se encontró ningún efecto directo de la estrategia corporativa en el rendimiento de la firma.

    This study investigates the effect of the alignment between corporate, operational, and information systems strategies and firm performance. Data were collected from the application of 138 questionnaires to large utility companies in the Australian electricity sector. In the analysis, modeling using structural equations was used to establish the dependency relationship between the variables. The results suggest that aligning operational and information systems strategies can improve firm performance. Likewise, no direct effect of corporate strategy on the firm performance was found.

    Este estudo investiga o efeito do alinhamento entre as estratégias corporativas, operacionais e de sistemas de informação e os retornos da empresa. Os dados foram coletados a partir da aplicação de 138 questionários a grandes empresas de serviços públicos do setor elétrico australiano. Na análise, foi utilizada uma modelagem por meio de equações estruturais para estabelecer a relação de dependência entre as variáveis. Os resultados sugerem que o alinhamento das estratégias operacionais e de sistemas de informação pode melhorar o desempenho da empresa. Da mesma forma, nenhum efeito direto da estratégia corporativa no desempenho da empresa foi encontrado.
