The Relationship

Information technology (IT) governance is an important component in developing an overall business and IT strategy. Factors to consider in the IT governance and strategy relationship are project portfolio control, risk management. Using a quantitative survey of 201 IT executives a significant relationship was shown between effective IT governance and project portfolio control and risk management. However, the results of the study did not support a significant relationship between effective IT governance and business/IT alignment. Ultimately, this study helped to shed light on the relationship between effective IT governance and project portfolio control as well as provided support to the existing literature on the relationship between effective IT governance and risk.

Governance Risk

The relationship between Information Technology (IT) Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) and organisation business values continues to interest academics and practitioners (IT Governance Institute, 2003). Like governance, risk management and compliance generally, IT GRC is about the decision rights and accountabilities that encourage desirable behaviour in the use of IT (IT Governance Institute, 2003). A case study approach was used in an organisation with many business units. The organisation selected is a mining company, RioZim, situated in Zimbabwe. Data was collected from business units on IT issues and business values. The interviews centred on the IT GRC practices based on responsibility and authority for IT decision making. The results suggest that IT GRC does not adequately support business values. The study revealed that business values should drive IT GRC and IT GRC should be the responsibility of executives and all business units.

Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors used a mixed methods approach and using a survey instrument and its validation with interviews, to collect data from 134 successful European SMEs in the multi-country setting of Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Spain and the UK. Findings The findings show that various IT governance mechanisms function as dynamic capabilities and are directly associated with firm performance. The impact of each mechanism is different. Originality/value This study highlights the relationship between IT governance acumens and organisational performance.

This chapter introduces current and prior IT governance literature across five key focus areas being strategic alignment of business and IT systems, delivery of value from IT systems, risk management of IT systems, management of IT resources and measurement of the performance of IT systems. The chapter focuses on synthesising the current literature on ITG to achieve three primary objectives. First, the review presents a detailed overview of research across the key focus areas of ITG. Second, the synthesis of the literature identifies important gaps in ITG research. Third, the review aims to guide future thinking and research on ITG in each of the focus areas. This chapter will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of IT governance literature.

Process Level

Although business executives remain skeptical about the extent of payoffs from investment in information technology (IT), strategic alignment or the alignment of information systems strategy with business strategy continues to be ranked as one of the most important issues facing corporations. In this paper, we report on the results of a process-level study to investigate the relationship between strategic alignment and IT payoffs. An analysis of survey data from 63 firms finds a positive and significant relationship between strategic alignment and IT payoffs, a relationship that holds for all firms, irrespective of their strategic intent or goals for IT. However, in exploring minor differences in strategic alignment between firms with different goals for IT, we uncovered evidence of an alignment paradox. This paradox shows that while strategic alignment can lead to increased payoffs from IT, this relationship is only valid up to a certain point beyond which, paradoxically, further increases in strategic alignment appear to lead to lower IT payoffs. Finally, we offer some suggestions for why this paradox might exist, specifically around issues of environmental uncertainty, industry clock-speed, and the need for organizational flexibility

The Impact

Given that the role of information technology (IT) governance and enterprise risk management (ERM) within the organization are imperative due to the ever-increasing complexity in the corporate environment, this study aims to uncover the relationship between IT governance and ERM along with the impact of the two frameworks’ interconnectedness on the organization’s performance through empirical literature review. Furthermore, the findings obtained from the empirical review are also used to create a checklist that every organization can apply. The purpose of the created checklist is to help organizations examine the interconnectedness of their IT governance and ERM with respect to their needs and objectives. The findings from the empirical review show that both IT governance and ERM emphasize the importance of strategic and process alignment regarding its implementation, and it is positively significant to the organization’s performance. Hence, the level of effectiveness of one’s IT- and risk-oriented approaches are dictated by how well an organization appropriately aligns its IT governance and ERM structure, mechanism, and process with its objectives, needs, and business operations.

The purpose of this chapter is twofold: Firstly, we want to determine the relationships, if any, between the discipline of digital forensics and the peer disciplines of corporate governance, information technology governance, and information security governance. Secondly, after we have determined such relationships between these disciplines, we want to determine if there is an overlap between these disciplines, and if so, investigate the content of the overlap between information technology governance and digital forensics.Therefore, we want to position the discipline of digital forensics in relation to corporate governance, information technology governance, and information security governance, and describe in detail the relationship between information technology governance and digital forensics.

Companies that implement information technology should have the ability to manage the governance and the implementation of the Information Technology Governance (ITG). Application of IT Governance may support the organization in building a framework to direct and decide the utilization of IT according to the organization needs aligned with its vision, mission, values, strategy, and culture. Keputusan Minister of BUMN is the reference on good IT governance through its implementations in state-owned enterprises. According to the IT governance framework mentioned in PER-02/MBU/ 2013, COBIT 4.1 is a framework that focuses on the relationship between IT and enterprise business. Hence, in this research, COBIT (Control Objective for Information and Related Technology) 4.1 framework is used to analyze and design the IT governance. In the first phase, the maturity level is measured to analyze the maturity and gap level of the IT governance in PT. XYZ, i.e. using Plan and Organise (PO) and Acquire and Implement (AI) domains. In the next phase, the priority analysis is conducted. The result of the analysis is considered as essential and critical process take the next analysis, i.e. gap and risk analysis. Afterwards, the IT governance map is designed. The design includes policy, procedure, organization structure, technology recommendation, and processes priority related document template.
