摘要：Strategic alignment and wireless network communication are two important areas that received considerable attention in two last decades. Yet achieving strategic alignment continues to be a main concern for business executives. Past studies have shown that IT flexibility is an influential aspect for sustaining strategic alignment in today's business environment. In addition, wireless network communication is one of the most important factors to improve connectivity as a dimension of IT flexibility as well as strategic alignment, but have not been studied empirically in the previous studies. For this reason, we discussed and empirically tested the relationships between these factors and related constructs. 76 Iranian firms were the target subjects in this study and statistical software of SPSS and PLS were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that IT architecture significantly affect wireless network communication as well as strategic alignment. Moreover, the results showed that wireless network communication has positive impact on connectivity.
