Abstract: For decades, business and information technology alignment has fascinated scholars and practitioners. However, understanding these alignment mechanisms is challenging. The significant role of information technology (IT) in digitalization and agile transformation calls for targeted management of the readiness and capability of IT as an enabler and strategic business partner. This paper assumes that organizational culture is a success factor for business-IT alignment. Therefore, it aims to explore the culture-alignment relationship by the following research questions: What are typical IT management organizational culture characteristics, and how do they contribute to business-IT alignment? The study conducts a systematic literature review. First, after defining the critical terms, it searches the databases indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Then, the study uses bibliometrics to get quantitative insights into the research topic. Finally, it investigates the key arguments and findings of the selected papers. The analyzed literature depicts the relationship between an IT management culture and business-IT alignment elements. However, the research lacks concrete modeling and conception. This article contributes to a better culture-alignment relationship interpretation and closes a gap in the body of knowledge by combining quantitative and qualitative literature review methods.
