Abstract
Abstract. A shared definition is lacking within the field of IT governance. This is unfortunate, since a clear and uniform definition of IT governance would make assessments more accurate. This paper provides an IT governance definition based on a consolidation of literature. The definition is based on analysis of 60 different articles. According to the definition, IT governance is about IT decision-making: The preparation for, making of and implementation of decisions regarding goals, processes, people and technology on a tactical and strategic level. A classification of the statements was carried out according to the dimensional units mentioned above. In literature, “Strategic”, Monitoring”, “Goal ” and “People ” were most frequently used. Finally, the Cobit framework for IT governance was mapped to the definition. Compared to literature, Cobit emphasized “process”, and “technology”, while providing less information on “goal ” and “people”.
