IT GOVERNANCE AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESS FOR SMOOTH INTERACTION IN COMMONWEALTH BANK
Abstract
Key words: IT governance, decision-making processes, interaction.
The following research proposal focuses on the topic “IT governance and decision making process for smooth interaction in Commonwealth Bank.” The research seeks to fill the existing research gap in the area of IT governance in the bank by focusing on all of the three mechanisms of IT governance and the way they influence and interact with decision making process. The comprehensive analysis helps to develop the complex strategy of the interaction, which would enable the successful achievement of goals and strategies of the enterprise.
Given that the IT governance is the ultimate responsibility of the executive management as well as the board of directors, current scholarly literature focuses on the structure mechanism of it. The research methods suggested for the fulfillment of aforementioned research aim will encompass not only the structure mechanism, but also the relational and processes mechanism on the national level limited to the enterprise and, therefore, fill the research gap.
