It means that\nsupply chain should be aligned with business strategy, at the same\ntime supply chain (SC) managers need to use appropriate information\nsystem (IS) solution to support their strategy, which would lead to\nstay competitive. There are different kinds of IS strategies which\nenable managers to meet the SC requirement by selecting the best IS\nstrategy. Therefore, it is important to align IS strategies and practices\nwith SC strategies and practices, which could help us to plan for an\nIS application that supports and enhances a SCMS. In this study,\naligning IS with SC in strategy level is considered. The main aim of\nthis paper is to align the various IS strategies with SCM strategies\nand demonstrate their impact on SC and firm performance.","references":"[1] M. Christopher, and D. R.
