Current operational environment for
organizations is changing, which has effects also to IT functions and IT
activities. Various forms of networks, collaborations and alliances are
operational models, which organizations are using to an increasing extent. This
reality has brought with it a need for improved IT governance (ITG). ITG
research for inter-organizational arrangements will be needed. In the research,
the target is to identify the current state of the inter-organizational ITG research
among the information systems (IS) domain. The literature review covers
academic articles and conference proceedings during this millennium. The
findings of the current literature review reveal that interest towards ITG
research is still quite limited. The future view of inter-organizational ITG
research is quite clear: more research will be needed in the inter-organizational
area, which is the current playground for several organizations today.
