“…Decision-making in these institutions is shared, organizational culture among universities and colleges differs, and academic courses and research activities are independent [17]. According to Alghamdi et al [30], business and IT alignment in the education sector has received the least attention in the business and IT alignment literature compared to other public and private sectors.…”

“…The misalignment between eLearning technologies and HEIs' strategies can lead to a failure in achieving maximum utilization of these technologies to enhance overall teaching and learning activities. Such a challenge in the higher education sector has received the lowest attention in IT alignment research [30], [45]. A real example of misalignment practice that usually occurs in many HEIs is the isolation of implementing IT projects away from the actual needs of students and academic staff.…”

Adopting eLearning technologies is no longer an option in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to support teaching and learning activities. However, despite steps taken by most of these institutions towards effective utilization of technologies, the current situation on the ground shows two significant challenges. First, the misalignment between institutions' strategies and the technical implementation of these technologies. Second, the scattered implementation and usage of eLearning technologies among stakeholders, which increases operational overhead due to the lack of a unified approach and usage procedures that promote optimal utilization of such technologies. This paper aims to introduce a framework for elevating the usage of eLearning technologies in HEIs. It guides the alignment between strategic goals and technology implementation for effective and progressive eLearning technology usage. Design science research methodology is adopted to guide the development of this framework. It drives the development process by first being aware of the problem from a real-life context dna then proposing a solution. Principles from business and IT alignment and enterprise architecture are adopted to propose this framework, which is meant to be comprehensive to have eLearning technologies fit the institution's purpose while achieving strategic goals.

“…Strategic alignment represents a significant challenge in the higher education sector, which has received less attention in research than its enterprise domain counterpart (Alghamdi and Sun, 2017). Additionally, a previous study (Rodríguez-Abitia and Bribiesca-Correa, 2021) demonstrated that ineffective leadership, insufficient cultural changes, limited innovation and financial support negatively impact alignment.…”

In this research, we delve into the implementation and impact of Information Technology Governance (ITG) in the dynamic landscape of university settings, where information technology is rapidly evolving. The study's primary aim is to investigate the various contingency factors that play a pivotal role in the effectiveness of ITG frameworks in academic environments. Utilizing a comprehensive approach, we conducted a systematic review of 72 scholarly articles sourced from online databases, analyzing the global application of ITG in universities through a blend of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Our findings underscore an increasing focus on ITG within the realm of higher education, a trend that has gained momentum in the aftermath of COVID-19. Notably, significant contributions to this field have emerged from Asia and Europe. Central to our study is the development of a novel ITG model, which is grounded in contingency theory and derived from a detailed case study conducted in five Moroccan universities. This model underscores the necessity for higher education institutions to adopt ITG strategies that are not only flexible but also specifically tailored to meet their individual needs and circumstances.

“…Examples of these are system or mobile applications, websites, and other customized digital products to promote competitive advantages in the marketplace. Business owners/stakeholders should consider implementing or developing technology in their business plan process [4,5]. SMEs are becoming popular trailblazers in technology due to continuous or frequently active connectivity.…”

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are fast becoming the drivers of innovation in technology, and they play an important role in the economic development of a growing country. Businesses that acquire modernization cannot fully function without the help of information technology, which is quite essential for the survival and growth of economies in general. Adaptation of a data management system for a business irm is a big factor that can be used for a fast and easy business transaction and processing results but considering its current price in the market, it may not be affordable for a startup business. The study focused on the data management system that is a con igurable web-based application that can handle data based on the required set of procedures. This study integrated the concepts of distributed system algorithms in the developed data management system to de ine and ind a solution for handling data responsibilities and techniques that can be used to solve the challenges encountered in this algorithm.
