Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the IT governance mechanisms that are used at different levels of IT dependence (defensive or offensive IT modes) and to compare the degree of their use between these IT modes. The results of a survey suggest that the degree of use of IT governance mechanisms varies by IT mode, and it is greater when a firm is in offensive versus defensive IT mode.
