The Role of the Board of Directors in IT Governance: A Review and Agenda for Research

摘要

The role of the board of directors in IT governance draws increasing attention from practitioners faced with evolving competitive pressures and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements. However, research on the topic is in its very early stages. To further the continued development of this emerging research area, this review paper surveys the extant literature, formulates propositions for board involvement in IT governance, and outlines priorities for future research.
