Abstract
The alignment of IT strategy and business strategy is an ongoing topic of interest for many
researchers. In the same light is Business Process Re-engineering (BPR). The existing literature
considers these two topics separately in the context of developed countries. This study taps into
this gap by investigating how IT-business alignment at a strategic level can be achieved in BPR
by considering the influential factors that drive this alignment in large organisations in Lesotho.
The study empirically builds on centrally placing IT-business strategic alignment at the heart
of BPR. Consequently, the findings show that IT-business alignment plays a pivotal role in the
success or failure of a BPR project. New directions for future studies are suggested and
discussed.
