Organizations seek to mirror their corporate governance arrangements in the activities of their key subunits – as IT function – in order to lower their organizational coordination costs. Some researches evidence that the mode of corporate governance significantly influences the mode of IT governance: organizations that have centralized their corporate governance also tend to centralize their IT governance, whereas organizations that have decentralized their corporate governance tend to decentralize their IT governance. Consequently, the organizational need of formal IT governance emerges. There are several studies and researches discussing about the importance of governance. Some of them have origin from other disciplines, like finance, and were rethought on IT issues.

Abstract
Organizations seek to mirror their corporate governance arrangements in the activities of their key subunits – as IT function – in order to lower their organizational coordination costs. Some researches evidence that the mode of corporate governance significantly influences the mode of IT governance: organizations that have centralized their corporate governance also tend to centralize their IT governance, whereas organizations that have decentralized their corporate governance tend to decentralize their IT governance. Consequently, the organizational need of formal IT governance emerges. There are several studies and researches discussing about the importance of governance. Some of them have origin from other disciplines, like finance, and were rethought on IT issues. The scope of this paper is to make a first literature analysis for the most accepted definitions and reference models for IT governance.
