Abstract

Great strides have been made in IT governance in the past decade. Today’s organizations need a flexible, complementary, and collaborative IT governance setting to prosper in a turbulent environment that would enable organizations to sustain realizing value from IT instead of restraining its contribution by emphasizing control. The review of existing literature to identify and determine best practices had been studied by previous researchers in order to construct the factors within each category. The aim of this paper is to identify the domain of IT governance and provide insights practice with each domain that was detected through literature.
