“…To conduct the analysis, we followed an iterative process of inductive and deductive data coding [26], using the ATLAS.ti tool for support. Based on both the interview guidelines and previous work on business IT alignment [8,9], one author identified bimodal IT characteristics and searched for evidence of business IT alignment in relation to bimodal IT using open coding [27]. Other bimodal IT characteristics, such as the category sourcing (see Table 2), were generated from the bottom up.…”
