The objective of this study is to demonstrate the role that strategic information systems can play in building a strategic alliance at Hikma Pharmaceutical Company in Jordan by analyzing the company's annual report in 2017. The analysis is based on the fact that the Strategic Information System (SIS) provides three types of strategic information (environmental information, competitive information and internal information). Environmental information is used to analyze five types of external environmental factors (technological factors, economic factors, social factors, legal factors and international factors).
