The need to effectively manage IT resources such that they enhance the business value of firms makes IT Governance (ITG) an important issue for both IS researchers and practitioners. The purpose of this paper is to build a conceptual framework for ITG in small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). The authors first analyze the main theories applied in ITG research, and confront them with the specificities of SMEs. The authors then highlight the limits of those theories in SMEs context and discuss adaptations needed or alternative theories in such context. The resulting framework is then applied to generate a set of six research propositions on ITG in SMEs.

Decision Making Processes

Information technology governance is considered one of the innovative practices that can provide support for decision-makers. Interestingly, it has become increasingly a de facto for organizations in seeking to optimise their performance. In principle, information technology governance has emerged to support organizations in the integration of information technology (IT) infrastructures and the delivery of high-quality services. On the other hand, decision-making processes in public sector organisations can be multi-faceted and complex, and decision makers play an important role in implementing technology in the public sector. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on current opportunities and challenges that IT governance is experiencing in the context of public sector services. In this respect, this paper examines the factors influencing the decision-making process to fully appreciate IT governance. Furthermore, this study focuses on combining institutional and individual perspectives to explain how individuals can take decisions in response to institutional influences.

<p class="Abstrak">Tata kelola Teknologi Informasi (TI) dibutuhkan di suatu organisasi pada saat ini menjadi perhatian utama dalam mengembangkan layanan yang telah berbasis TI. Adanya kebutuhan untuk menghasilkan kualitas layanan TI yang kredibel dan transparan telah mendorong setiap organisasi baik sektor swasta maupun sektor publik. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 75% adopsi suatu teknologi sering berujung kegagalan. Persoalan utama yang menyebabkan kegagalan implementasi <em>Information Technology Governance</em> (ITG) terletak pada operasional TI. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor kepemimpinan yang menitikberatkan kepada TI berpengaruh dalam keberhasilan maupun kegagalan implementasi tata kelola TI; (2) Sejauh mana mana visi kepemimpinan dapat mendorong implementasi ITG pada Sektor Publik. Metode kualitatif digunakan untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut, lokasi penelitian ini berada di Kota Salatiga dan Kabupaten Bengkayang. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan faktor-faktor yang berperan seperti: komitmen kepala daerah, kemampuan dalam menjabarkan visi dan misi, ketersediaan regulasi dan aturan, dukungan untuk mengimplementasikan TI, kemampuan dalam konsolidasi dan pengelolaan, penataan kelembagaan, dukungan dan alokasi anggaran, ketersediaan infrastruktur, sumber daya manusia, dan kemampuan dalam mengembangkan strategi implementasi. Oleh karena faktor tersebut, dukungan visi kepemimpinan dalam mengembangkan tata kelola pemerintahan dapat menjadi basis reformasi birokrasi.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em>Information Technology (IT) governance is required in an organization is currently a major concern in developing IT-based services.

The main problem that causes the failure of the implementation of Information Technology Governance (ITG) lies in IT operations. This study aims to: 1) identify leadership factors that focus on IT that influence the success or failure of IT governance implementation; (2) The extent to which the leadership vision can encourage the implementation of ITG in the Public Sector. Qualitative methods are used to solve the problem, the location of this research is in Salatiga City and Bengkayang Regency. This study found factors that play a role such as the commitment of the regional head, the ability to describe the vision and mission, the availability of regulations and rules, support for implementing IT, the ability to consolidate and manage, institutional structuring, support, and budget allocation, availability of infrastructure, resources human resources, and the ability to develop implementation strategies.

Expected Outcomes

Past studies and surveys of top management in business and information technology (IT) have shown the importance of strong IT governance in delivering results to the business. This research investigates the extent to which empirical results from past studies is applicable to the electronics manufacturing sector in Malaysia. Empirical evidence from 33 organisations in this sector indicates that having the right decision owners making appropriate decision types lead to better IT governance performance. Organisations with growth as their primary goal demonstrate marginally higher IT governance performance, contrary to expected outcomes. The research also shows that awareness of industry IT governance frameworks is not related to IT governance performance. We conclude that adoption of IT governance is on track, though familiarity with technicalities of the available frameworks should be improved.

And Performance

More and more enterprises regard Information Technology (IT) as their most valuable property and make full use of IT to maximize the performance of their business operations. As a result, enterprises are attaching more importance to coordinating their IT strategy and enterprise strategy in order to get the most from their IT investment. For the sake of better IT performance and long-term development, firms must adopt a complete strategy for IT governance. In Taiwan, most financial enterprises have not considered IT governance to be a necessity, and those which are implementing IT governance have difficulty explaining, systemically, how it affects IT performance. Based on the five dimensions of IT governance, this study uses the balanced scorecard to measure IT performance and discusses the influence of effective governance on IT performance. The results show that the five dimensions of IT governance (strategic alignment, value delivery, risk management, resource management, and performance measurement) are all positively correlated with IT performance. The results of this study can help Taiwan's financial enterprises set the proper course for IT governance and more clearly understand how it serves to improve IT performance.
