“…In the private sector, prior studies concluded that the adoption of IT governance is at an early stage and familiarity with IT governance frameworks could be improved further (Tan et al, 2008, Teo andTan, 2010). Two different approaches were proposed for IT governance in Malaysian small and medium enterprises, one taking the generalisation path (Tan et al, 2009, Tan et al, 2011, while another adopting customised frameworks (Ayat et al, 2011a, Ayat et al, 2011b.…”

The importance of IT governance has received increasing attention in the recent years. Extensive literature addresses top management and organisational issues of IT governance. However, recent findings suggest that people issues in IT governance equally deserve attention. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study examines the influence of IT practitioners and management guidance on the extent of their participation in IT governance initiatives. A quantitative study was conducted among IT practitioners in Malaysia. Data analysis using Partial Least Squares suggests that subjective norms and perceived behavioural controls on IT practitioners result in greater participation in IT governance initiatives. However, attitudes do not have significant relationship with participation in IT governance initiatives, in contrast with prediction of the theory. Further analysis reveals that awareness and perceived importance of IT governance are the two most important factors from the practitioner perspective. As for management guidance, organisational processes and reward system are the most important, closely followed by organisational structure. The findings reaffirm that IT governance requires control in the form of organisational structures, processes, goal settings and reward system to encourage desirable behaviours in IT governance initiatives.

“…Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have played an important role in the economy, however they face difficulties to remain competitive in the market (Balestrin & Vargas, 2003;Andrade, Almeida, & Freitas, 2014). Ayat, Masrom, Sahibuddin and Sharifi (2011) argue that more than 90% of companies in all countries can be classified as SMEs. Despite the economic importance of SMEs to the national and regional economy, Santini, de Vasconcellos Favarin, Nogueira, de Oliveira and Ruppenthal (2015) affirm that there is a high mortality rate and that several factors can influence the end of activities of companies, among them the oppression of large companies, market limitations, difficulties in obtaining financial resources, managing working capital, high tax burden and low ability to manage business.…”

Information Technology (IT) governance in small and medium-sized businesses is a subject that still requires more effort. Many of the studies that deal with this subject refer to large companies. IT governance structures, originally developed for the context of large enterprises such as COBIT, ISO/IEC 35800 or ITIL, when applied to the context of small and medium enterprises, lead to undesirable results and failures in the deployment process. The objective of this work was to perform a systematic mapping on IT governance in small and medium enterprises between 2007 and 2017. Systematic mapping studies are useful for categorizing and summarizing the existing information concerning a research question in an unbiased manner. Thus, from an initial set of 63 papers, a total of 17 research papers were selected for the mapping study. The results obtained allowed us to reach conclusions concerning the state-of-the-art of IT governance mechanisms, theories applied in the context and the consequences of IT governance. From the results of this study it was possible to perceive the low use of relational mechanisms of IT governance in the studied context, the constant need to adapt frameworks such as COBIT and ITIL, so that they can adapt to the reality of SMEs, the wide variety of theoretical approaches and the importance, for SMEs, of the concept of IT value for the business.

Effective IT governance is today a necessity and not an option. IT can go further sustaining the organization's strategies and helps shaping new competitive ones. Given that the concept is relatively new, literature still can't get to a consensus point. Researchers and practitioners, when studying IT governance, are facing a storm of definitions, approaches, frameworks and standards. This paper dives deep into recent IT governance literature and aims to build a shared view of the concept and its ecosystem to help orient future research in the field.
