With the cost, complexity and risk associated with IT systems, the approach to IT governance and service management in many organizations is to centralize and standardize. Often executives pursue a generic approach to the management of information technology, without consideration of their organizational context. This chapter examines the adaptation of IT governance arrangements through the lens of organizational theory. It uses concepts from systems theory, differentiation, value chains and structural contingency theory to give an appreciation of the factors that influence how IT can best support an organization’s business.
