Governing information technology (IT) investment: A contingency perspective on organization’s IT investment goals

Abstract: Using contingency theory, we argue that there is not a uniform approach for companies to govern information technology (IT) investments.

We find that Australian organizations with both operation- and market-focused IT investment goals (i.e. dual-focused IT goals) demonstrate higher IT investment governance (ITIG) levels than those with less focused IT goals. We also document that dual-IT-focu… Show more
