ABSTRACT
This study designed nine ITG categories to investigate ITG in Taiwanese enterprises. A questionnaire was administered to a random sample of enterprises and 150 valid questionnaires were obtained. This study also collected and analyzed important ITG information from many Taiwanese enterprises to derive various findings such as the degree of current ITG maturity in Taiwan and the ITG archetype distribution results. Furthermore, six ITG categories, namely, CIO authority, ability and evaluation of IT department, decision-making of top management, review and evaluation IT tasks, user support and risk management, are able to predict governance performance. Finally, a cross-border comparative analysis was performed to assess the results of this study relative to corresponding results from the United States and Japan. The findings from this investigation are expected to provide Taiwanese enterprises with guidelines for enterprises to select suitable and effective methods of ITG implementation.
