 Presentation
Defining IT Governance
The field of IT governance has sprung from corporate governance and is increasingly
discussed in literature and among practitioners since the mid nineties. Although
much in the field is inherited from the overarching discipline, IT governance
is now clearly a discipline of its own rights. A shared definition of the topic
has however been lacking, and this presentation will discuss an ongoing research
project aiming at providing such. IT governance is mainly about IT decision-making:
The preparation for, making of and implementation of decisions regarding goals,
processes, people and technology on a tactical or strategic level. A theoretical
prioritization of the definition’s components based on state of the art
litterature has already been conducted. Currently, research is focused on letting
IT governance experts prioritize the definition to capture the field from the
practitioners’ point of view.
