Abstract

In this paper we investigated the practices by which IT can contribute to the business as well as how to measure its maturity. Main objective of this paper is to stress the importance of evolving IT Governance activities. After analyzing IT Governance components and elements we explained external and especially national IT Governance regulation framework in the Republic of Croatia and construct the research model upon the strategic IT/Business alignment issues. On the sample of selected Croatian small banks, the organizational position and the role of IT in the business has been investigated, while specific research interest was to get the clear view of the maturity level of IT usage. We hoped that such approach could be useful when trying to answer the posed research question: can national IT Governance regulatory framework help to start to measure IT Governance maturity and are such initiatives helpful in aligning IT and business?
