Short Track Description*

In many organizations, information technology (IT) is crucial for the 
running and growth of the businesses that calls for a specific focus on 
IT Governance. On the other hand an important driving force to achieve 
business value through investments in IT is business-IT alignment. 
Today’s organizations are very committed to make more steps towards 
digitalization and transform their business. Therefore this requires 
from organization’s management to focus on having an effective IT 
governance in their organization that as result will enable business-IT 
alignment. The research in IT governance and business-IT alignment has
