%X The checklists included in well-known IT governance frameworks may be a good fit for<br>large organizations that face regulatory pressure and a need for large-scale coordination<br>but may be less appropriate for smaller organizations. Core IT governance principles<br>embedded in the structure of CobiT, ITIL, and ISO2000 can be expressed as a set of IT<br>governance norms including business alignment, a risk/control perspective, systematic<br>measurement, accountability, and continuous improvement. In this study, we model IT<br>effectiveness and willingness to comply with best practices as effects of adopting these<br>norms. We propose a set of survey items tailored to help assess the constructs in this<br>model then partially validate them using principal components analysis. Survey<br>responses (n=86) reveal a significant connection between evidence of norm adoption in<br>organizations and IT success. This norms-based paradigm may be useful in bringing<br>some of the benefits of IT governance to the smaller organizations that are thought to<br>drive economic growth and employment.
