As e-business strategies have increasingly attracted the attention of industrial managers, information architecture (IA) is considered as an important blueprint for implementing a successful e-strategy. Furthermore, numerous information architectures have been proposed in recent years by researchers. However, these architectures focus on information systems (IS) and information technology (IT) perspectives, but neglect integration with the information management (IM) strategy. As the complexity of IS/IT applications in an e-business environment grows, effective IM strategy should be considered in developing information architectures. This study proposes a strategic information architecture (SIA) that integrates IS, IT and IM strategy while the IM strategy stresses three dimensions of business conditions and capabilities to cope with IS and IT strategy, including organizational structure, managerial activities and information use. The proposed SIA was initially assessed in a large hospital in Taiwan to examine its usefulness. The implications for IS practice and directions for future research are also discussed.
