Synopsis

In many organizations, information technology (IT) has become crucial in the support, sustainability, and growth of the business. This pervasive use of technology has created a critical dependency on IT that calls for a specific focus on IT governance. Implementing Information Technology Governance: Models, Practices and Cases presents insight gained through literature reviews and case studies to provide practical guidance for organizations who want to start implementing IT governance or improving existing governance models, and provides a detailed set of IT governance structures, processes, and relational mechanisms that can be leveraged to implement IT governance in practice.
