In case of organizational alignment, there is concentration on the targeted goals of the organization leading to formulation of appropriate strategies (Hitt et al. 2018). If the strategies are not aligned with the mission and vision of the organization, there can be a wrong direction in which the organization can go. This can lead to the organization not being able to develop a competitive advantage.
