Minitrack: 
IT Governance in Emerging Economies

TRACK: 
ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev)

IT governance constitutes the most holistic approach for long-term IT/IS management. It refers to the harmonization of business and IT goals at all organizational levels through appropriate decision structures, governance mechanisms and organizational processes using various standards and frameworks. Applying IT governance concepts, methods and tools enables proliferation of proven approaches and thus allows obtaining organizational, social and institutional efficiencies. This is especially vital today, when business requirements and demands are subject to significant changes and organizations, particularly those originating from emerging and developing economies, find it difficult to respond to those changes in a satisfactory way. Emerging and developing economies may use (and are using) IT governance concepts, methods and tools in order to better address information needs, achieve increased organizational control and progress more effectively and efficiently. It is also very interesting to see how and to what degree the IT governance concepts, methods and tools had been applied in emerging and developing economies. The objective of this mini-track is to encourage more research on the subject by providing a forum for interested authors to disseminate their research, compare results and exchange ideas.

We are seeking papers dealing with IT governance in the context of emerging and developing economies containing the latest research presented from both business and academic perspectives. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
* Business/IT alignment modelling and models
* IT/IS strategy formulation 
* Corporate architectures
* IT/IS audit and control
* Service science
* IT/IS value delivery
* IT/IS risk management
* IT/IS performance measurement & benchmarking 
* IT resources utilization
* IT/IS outsourcing
* IT/IS compliance 
* IT governance frameworks i.e. COBIT/ITIL/ISO 38500 etc.
* Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE)
