IT Governance in the e-Business Era
Keywords:
IT Governance, IT Functional Structure, IT Organization, Relational MechanismAbstract
In the context of e-businesses, Information Technologies (IT) are not only simple support to companies' businesses, but they often constitute an integral part of their main activities. IT Governance practices are also evolving to fulfill the e-business environment's requirements. A conceptual framework is developed through a literature review, presenting a synthesis of various dimensions (structure, processes, and mechanisms) structuring IT Governance in the era of the e-business.
