There has been a large body of research on strategic alignment between business and information technology, which has also been summarised in several literature reviews. All of these studies describe that business-IT alignment has remained a focal point among business and IT leaders. However, little is known about a specific perspective, namely, on business-IT misalignment, on which, although some analytical works have been carried out over the last twenty years, no literature review has been summarised. The purpose of this article is to display and analyze relevant literature regarding business-IT misalignment and map the influential issues by conducting a systematic literature review. This study collected in sum 642 papers published from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. Finally, 62 articles were selected for the systematic review. The study examined eight research questions for business-IT misalignment derived from recent, high-impact business-IT alignment literature reviews. Results are analyzed qualitatively to find a better understanding of the current body of knowledge in business-IT misalignment and to provide a research agenda.

关于业务和信息技术之间的战略协调已有大量研究，一些文献综述也对此进行了总结。所有这些研究都表明，业务与 IT 的协调仍然是业务和 IT 领导者关注的焦点。然而，对于一个具体的观点，即业务与IT的错位，人们知之甚少，尽管在过去的二十年里已经进行了一些分析工作，但还没有总结出任何文献综述。本文的目的是展示和分析有关业务与 IT 错位的相关文献，并通过系统的文献综述来绘制有影响力的问题。这项研究总共收集了 Scopus 和 Google Scholar 数据库中发表的 642 篇论文。最终筛选出62篇文献进行系统评价。该研究调查了源自最近影响深远的业务与 IT 协调文献综述中的业务与 IT 协调不一致的八个研究问题。对结果进行定性分析，以便更好地理解当前业务与 IT 错位的知识体系并提供研究议程。
