Det kan vara intressant för framtida forskning att titta på hur olika tillvägagångssätt kan
integreras för att komma åt flera av de gemensamma drag som identifierats som främjande för en organisations harmoni mellan verksamhet och IT.
Slutligen, utifrån de tillvägagångssätt som vi har identifierat i litteraturen kan vi konstatera att merparten av studierna behandlar den strategiska, strukturella och sociala dimensionen av harmoni mellan verksamhet och IT. Ett fåtal av studierna går att koppla till den informella eller kulturella dimensionen av harmoni. Det vore intressant för framtida forskning att studera dessa dimensioner mer ingående då arbetet med harmoni bör vara holistiskt.
7.4 Bidrag
Denna studie kan fungera som teoretiskt underlag för framtida forskning. Studien har kartlagt den nuvarande forskningssituationen kring arbetet med att uppnå och bibehålla harmoni. Vidare är studien intressant för studenter eller praktiker som vill uppdatera sig på ämnet.
