Abstract

As Information Technology (IT) becomes more integral, the importance of governance and the need to adapt IT to respond to environmental changes and opportunities increases. This study analyzes the impact of IT governance relational mechanisms, processes, and structures on IT agility. A practitioner focus group and survey shows that only relational governance mechanisms have a significant positive impact on IT agility. We discuss the implications for practitioners and researchers interested in IT governance and agility.
