“…For example, Parent and Reich (2009) point out that the most strategically offensive firms are the most IT intensive, whereas firms that use IT mainly for support purposes are the least IT intensive. Héroux and Fortin (2014) show that the degree of use of IT governance mechanisms is higher in firms in moderately and highly offensive IT mode than in firms in highly defensive IT mode. Five items derived from Brown and Magill (1994) were used to measure IT intensity.…”

As all organizations are attaching more strategic importance to information technology (IT), IT governance has gained researchers' interest. In fact, a large body of literature focuses on firm-specific or executive management attributes such as leadership as determinants of IT governance. However, it is still relevant to identify other factors influencing IT governance. Since executive management demographics and demographic diversity have an impact on strategic decisions, we explore the influence of executive management diversity on IT governance. Results suggest that IT governance for a high educationalhigh tenure diversity profile differs significantly from that for a low industry-moderate tenure diversity profile and a high industry-low tenure diversity profile. Furthermore, IT governance structures differ according to executive management diversity profile more than IT governance processes and relational mechanisms.

“…Nolan and McFarlan (2005) proposed an IT strategic impact grid that classifies firms according to two dimensions, the need for reliable IT, and the need for new IT. These dimensions define the levels of a firm's IT dependency (Héroux and Fortin, 2014). According to Nolan and McFarlan's (2005) grid, the strategic approaches to IT can be declined into four modes, two defensive modes (factory and support), and two offensive modes (strategic and turnaround).…”

The need to strategically manage IT resources such that they enhance the business value of firms makes IT governance (ITG), in conjunction with IT alignment, an ongoing issue for IS researchers and practitioners. In addressing this issue, the present study aims to validate a research model that relates, within a strategic IT management framework, the firm's ITG and IT alignment capabilities to its IT performance. To do so, a survey of 223 manufacturing SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) was realized. Results confirm the hypothesized relationships between the firm's environmental uncertainty, strategic IT orientation, IT governance and IT alignment capabilities. They constitute a solid validation of the impact of the strategic management of IT resources and governance of IT on IT performance in the specific context of SMEs.

“…IT governance is the limit of components building the system through the implementation of a series of procedures and mechanisms in organization activities. IT governance does not only lead to specific decisions, but it also determines the makers and the contributors [29].…”

“…Structures involve essential forms of roles and responsibilities, the steering committee of IT, the strategic committee of IT at the level of the board of directors, the steering committee of IT projects, CEO at the position of the executive committee, and CIO reporting to CEO and COO [29]. IT governance involves identification and formulation of IT business decisions, priorities, justification, authorization of IT investment decisions, monitoring, and evaluation of IT performance.…”

“…IT governance involves identification and formulation of IT business decisions, priorities, justification, authorization of IT investment decisions, monitoring, and evaluation of IT performance. All of these activities also need elements of portfolio management, strategic information system planning, controls and reports of IT budgets, project governance, IT service levels, and IT maturity [29]. Next, relationship mechanisms are important in implementing IT governance.…”

A rising number of private schools of informatics management and computing in Indonesia are not accompanied by the accreditation grades. The fact shows that none of the 197 schools has obtained accreditation grade A. Moreover, 71.57% of these schools are still accredited with grade C. This condition reveals that there has been no synchronization and interoperability of producing information for the need of processing the academic data. The problem of the research proposal was formulated to (a) produce a new research model regarding influences of IT innovation adoption and IT governance on IT service management in improving information performance of schools; (b) create a hypothetical testing design to cognize influences of every variable in this research. The research aim was to analyze the magnitude of relationships and influences of IT service management based upon supports and deliveries of information services becoming dominant factors improving information performance of schools. The research was designed with an explanatory survey of analyzed units of organizations. Furthermore, the research applied a mixed (quantitative and qualitative) method and concurrent triangulation strategy. Computed quantitative data were obtained from a sample of 55 schools determined through a simple random sampling technique. Strengthening the quantitative analysis, qualitative measurement was conducted through in-depth interviews and FGDs (Focus Group Discussions) with 5 informants in the sample.
