چکیده
Business world today identifies a need of IT use. It is clear that IT is transforming the business. Since IT offers both opportunities and threats, effective IT governance is required to deliver IT benefits. Enterprises have to understand this issue deeply in wider business perspective in order to successfully implement IT. Effective IT governance can be achieved through enterprise’s ability in identifying, analyzing and dealing with all related factors influencing IT governance arrangements. According to theory of multiple contingencies, an enterprise is subject to impact of some contingency forces by strengthening, weakening, or overriding their mutual effects on the IT governance mode. This paper is a critique about Sambamurthy and Zmud’s research to examine IT governance mode based on this theory in relation to effective IT governance and management. They believe that this approach can be used to explain many different IT governance mode phenomena.
