Title: The Applicability Of Information
Technology
Governance In The Malaysian SMEs
Abstract: IT governance is a relatively new
concept
in Malaysia. There are limited studies available related to IT
governance
in Malaysia. Thus, this paper surveys 50 Malaysian SMEs in the
state
of Melaka in regard to their understanding of IT governance.
Results
indicate that IT governance is new to them. Findings also show
that
IT governance performance is related to ownership of decision making
and
various formal governance mechanisms. Although they know the
benefits
of IT governance, majority of them do not implement IT
governance.
The findings are discussed and interpreted to provide implications to
companies
and Malaysian government.
