Abstract

As competition shifts from the company to the intercompany Information Technology (IT) level, the concept of IT Governance (ITG) becomes one of the main factors driving the company’s competitive advantage. Current definitions of ITG narrow its scope within risk mitigation and regulatory controls, and there is limited research on a wider grounding considering effects from change management, peoples’ behavioral aspects, and external factors that alter an organization’s smooth operations. As currently there is no literature on the experience of the agricultural sector on ITG practices, this research aims to define the concept of ITG within the needs of agricultural organization structures and operations. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework to apply an effective strategy for adopting and implementing ITG practices. Initially a generic strategy is proposed for adopting ITG principles. The perspective to apply this strategy at the agrifood sector is examined, and a framework to establish ITG practices within agricultural activities is designed.
