Contingency Factors in IT Governance Implementation

Abstract:

The pervasive use of technology has created a critical dependency on IT that calls for a specific focus on ITG that has been recognized as a CIO top-10 issue for more than five years and has risen in priority between 2007 and 2009. Several Frameworks exist to help organizations in ITG implementation but most of them share the idea that each case is a different case considering or-ganizations context. Such fact calls for the identification and formalization of the factors that can influence each ITG implementation which is not present in any Framework. In this paper we make a literature review to leverage the Con-tingency Factors that differentiate each ITG implementation in order to provide a scientific viewpoint validation. We also evaluate our Contingency Factors with expert’s interviews in order to provide practitioner viewpoint validation. Finally, we conclude our research with main contributions and future work.
