From Information Governance to IT Governance

Information governance is more established in organizations. While the need to manage information is not new, new challenges have emerged over the past decade and have grown and become more complex with the opportunities offered by emerging technologies. This chapter provides a deep overview of current information governance literature across five key focus areas defined by COBIT 5: business strategic alignment, delivery of value, risk management, management, and performance management. The chapter focuses on synthesizing the current literature on information governance definitions and issues. The purpose of this chapter is to present a detailed overview of research across information governance definitions in the last two decades. The chapter aims to guide future research in each of the focus areas of information governance.
