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.

A large number of studies has been carried out on IT governance during the last decade, with the aim to support companies in implementing IT governance frameworks aligned with the business strategy. However, companies which create value and develop competitive advantage through an intensive use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence Systems (BIS), should implement an IT governance framework tailored on Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of both systems. To organise the main studies on IT governance frameworks, as well as to support companies in designing (or reviewing) their IT governance framework by considering the CSFs of ERP and BIS, a conceptual framework is introduced and discussed. The insights arising from this study are supported by the literature and suggest that an IT governance framework should be designed by considering the ERP and BIS critical success factors, especially in companies whose success heavily depends on such systems.

This paper empirically investigates how adoption of IT governance and management processes, as identified in the IT governance framework COBIT 5, relates to the level of IT-related goals achievement, which in turn associates to the level of enterprise goals achievement. Simultaneously, this research project provides an international benchmark on how organizations are currently adopting the governance and management processes as identified in COBIT 5. The findings suggest that organizations are best in adopting the “IT factory” related management processes and that implementation scores drop in management and governance processes when more business and board involvement is required. Additionally, there are significant differences in perceived implementation maturity of COBIT 5 processes between SMEs and larger organizations. Also, the data offers empirical evidence that the COBIT 5 processes have a positive association with enterprise value creation.
