“…The scientific and professional background of the CIO contributes significantly to the success of the company's strategy in adopting IT; it also contributes to the improvement of the company's performance (Blaskovich & Mintchik, 2011;Karanja & Zaveri, 2012). In general, the company needs to have IT experts on the board of directors to help it make decisions about IT efficiently and effectively (Heroux & Fortin, 2017).…”

“…where Perf i = the firm performance including operational performance and financial performance for the firm (i); α = the constant; β 1-7 = the slope for independence and control variables; BoardITback i = The Board IT-related background for the firm (i); BoardSize i = the number of board members in the firm (i); BoardIndep i = the percentage of independent directors on the board of firm (i); Companiesize i = the total assets of the firm (i); FirmAge i = the total number of firm (i) age; FinLev i = the financial leverage of the firm (i); Sector i = the sector to which the firm (i) listed; ε i = Random errors. The selection of variables is based on an examination of previous empirical studies (Heroux & Fortin, 2017;Li et al, 2007;Stoel & Muhanna, 2011;Tonelli, Bermejo, Santos, Zuppo, & Zambalde, 2017), Table 2 shows the dependent variable, the independent variables, and the control variables employed in the study models. Table 3 shows the initial descriptive statistic of the study variables; it shows that return on assets (ROA) in Saudi companies is 6.379% with a high standard deviation.…”

This study provides additional evidence on information technology (IT) governance and its relationship to firm performance in emerging markets. It aims primarily to determine the level of IT governance in Saudi Arabian companies; it also aims at examining the impact of IT governance on the firm performance. The study target sample is 131 companies taken from 20 sectors of the Saudi financial market; during the year 2017. The researchers have used the IT-related backgrounds of the members of the board of directors as an indicator of IT governance. The researchers have also used another group of corporate governance indicators in addition to a set of control variables. The performance of the companies has been referred to as the operational performance which is represented as Return on Assets (ROA) and the financial performance as the Return on Equity (ROE). The descriptive results have been shocking. The study has shown a sharp decline in IT governance in Saudi companies; only 15% of companies have members of the board of directors with IT-related backgrounds, and the IT governance is not adopted or used in many important sectors. However, the regression analysis shows that there is a positive impact on IT governance only on the operational performance of Saudi companies. The results of this study provide a significant indicator of IT governance in Saudi companies. These results can be also used to develop the corporate governance code to focus more on IT governance.

“…A composição da governança de TIC é baseada em estruturas (funções e responsabilidades) e processos (boas práticas), como COBIT e ITIL [Nfuka et al 2010], e participação ativa e colaboração das partes interessadas [De Haes & Grembergen 2009]. Esses componentes devem interagir para fornecer benefícios de governança eficazes para as organizações [Héroux & Fortin 2017]. A governança de TIC representa uma questão crítica para evitar perdas estratégicas, financeiras e operacionais [Weill & Ross 2004].…”

No contexto da transformação digital, os municípios estão adotando iniciativas de cidades inteligentes nas quais as TIC representam um elemento transversal. Vários estudos abordaram a inteligência das cidades, mas poucos com ênfase em governança das TIC. Assim, este estudo analisou as práticas de governança de TIC em quinze cidades brasileiras mais bem classificadas no índice Cidades Inteligentes Conectadas. A metodologia abrangeu pesquisa nos sites oficiais das cidades, nos portais de transparência e requisições de informação pela Lei Brasileira de Acesso à Informação. Os resultados evidenciaram que a maioria das prefeituras carece de uma abordagem de programa para cidades inteligentes e de boas práticas de governança de TIC, bem como algumas cidades não evidenciaram conformidade com a Lei de Acesso à Informação.

“…Então, uma estrutura heterogênea de tomada de decisão sobre as TIC pode minimizar as fraquezas dos seus tomadores (de TIC ou de setores de negócios) (Huang, Zmud, & Price, 2010;Wilkin & Chenhall, 2010), sendo o apoio da alta gestão a essas decisões importante para alcançar o alinhamento entre TI e os objetivos dos negócios (Héroux & Fortin, 2017;Nfuka & Rusu, 2011;Silva et al, 2019;Weill & Ross, 2004).…”

Objectives of the study: to understand and analyze the configuration of decision archetypes, proposed by Weill and Ross (2004), in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The study is justified by the increased organizational dependence on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and its high costs, which requires a close alignment between business strategies and the adoption of these technologies. Methodology / Approach: qualitative approach, under an inductive logic; and data collected through semi-structured and in-depth interviews, involving five owner-managers of ICT service providers and 16 directors / managers of Information Technology (IT), in SMEs. Main results: it was observed that SMEs have characteristics that facilitate the integration between business and IT, with the duopoly decision archetype prevailing. The greater concentration of power in the owner-manager or the absence of structural power of the key IT professional in these companies can, however, favor archetypes of the type of federalism or monarchy, influencing misaligned decisions between IT and business. Theoretical / methodological contributions: the findings of the study suggest that, within the organizational structures of SMEs, key IT professionals with decision-making power are supported by metrics based on quantitative aspects, supported by business intelligence systems and empirical knowledge of those involved in the process. Relevance / Originality: by proposing mechanisms for configuring decision archetypes in the Information Technology Governance (ITG) of SMEs, this study contributes significantly to the advancement of this theme, still incipient in the literature, as well as supporting new research.
