“…This is the case of a university in Ecuador (Cajo et al, 2017) where IT is considered more an operational utility than a strategic entity, thus resulting in a lack of ITG. A similar approach is seen in a study conducted in HEIs in Malaysia (Kaur et al, 2011) which attempted to identify the mechanisms for effective ITG but no ITG framework is reported. Furthermore, another paper (Islami et al, 2014) discusses the alignment of the university existing structure with a prototype based on COBIT 4.1 and CISR (Certified Insurance Service Representative).…”

BackgroundHigher Education Institutions (HEIs) are aware of the immense importance of achieving their strategic objectives to increase their impact on the society and to be competitive. As a board responsibility, information technology governance (ITG) plays an important role in the overall HEIs performance. Numerous HEIs are making great efforts to properly govern information technology (IT) by using ITG frameworks.ObjectivesThis study investigates the overall adoption of ITG frameworks in different HEIs through a systematic mapping review.MethodWe analyzed forty relevant papers, filtered from 6 selected online libraries, and answered six research questions on ITG implementations at universities worldwide.ResultsThe results show an increasing number of publications on ITG usage in HEIs in the last decade. The largest number of applications is described in Asian countries, while the most popular used frameworks are COBIT, ISO versions, and in-house developed frameworks. Finally, we describe the top challenges and benefits of ITG implementation mentioned in research papers.ConclusionThis paper provides a deep insight into the level of integration of ITG in universities worldwide. The results will be presented to the involved stakeholders at our university to increase the awareness of ITG in HEIs and help its implementation process.

“…However, they are faced with barriers to IT governance adoption (Othman et al, 2011, Othman andChan, 2013). Another area of interest for Malaysian researchers is development of frameworks to assess effectiveness of IT governance (Kaur et al, 2011, Mohamed andGian Singh, 2012).…”

The importance of IT governance has received increasing attention in the recent years. Extensive literature addresses top management and organisational issues of IT governance. However, recent findings suggest that people issues in IT governance equally deserve attention. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study examines the influence of IT practitioners and management guidance on the extent of their participation in IT governance initiatives. A quantitative study was conducted among IT practitioners in Malaysia. Data analysis using Partial Least Squares suggests that subjective norms and perceived behavioural controls on IT practitioners result in greater participation in IT governance initiatives. However, attitudes do not have significant relationship with participation in IT governance initiatives, in contrast with prediction of the theory. Further analysis reveals that awareness and perceived importance of IT governance are the two most important factors from the practitioner perspective. As for management guidance, organisational processes and reward system are the most important, closely followed by organisational structure. The findings reaffirm that IT governance requires control in the form of organisational structures, processes, goal settings and reward system to encourage desirable behaviours in IT governance initiatives.

“…Based on the database of 26,533 companies that report to the Superintendence of Companies in Colombia in the SIREM system as of 2015, 1,500 companies were randomly selected and contacted by phone, email, or in-person to take part in the study. In this way, their existence and contact information were confirmed and it was validated that they have an IT department or an area that fulfills the appropriate functions of IT management to evaluate their interest in participating in this research (Kaur et al 2011).…”

Purpose: This basic, quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional research aims to empirically examine the impact of IT governance on business-IT alignment. Method: This study adopts the Structural Equation Model (SEM) technique with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to evaluate the relationship between IT governance and business-IT alignment, testing three basic hypotheses on the data collected from 672 web-based surveys of companies in Colombia. Main finding: IT governance significantly and directly affects business-IT alignment, but there are no differences in such influence as per industry type or company size. Limitations: This study only considered companies located in Colombia with a limited sample size in several industry types, which may become a possibility for further studies. Additionally, the data collected relies on the honesty of respondents and is not completely free of bias.
