Abstract Meeting IT-business strategic alignment effectively in an organization ‎becomes very difficult task for top managers. Because, managers should ‎apply their best knowledge to understand the most important factors ‎affecting such strategic alignment in their organizations.‎ As a matter of the fact, there are few studies conducted to highlight such ‎factors. Therefore, we studied the critical success factors affecting IT-‎business alignment. In this regard we conducted a survey to analyze the ‎experts’ view to help to bridge such a gap.‎
