Information technology governance practices and inhibitors in South African private and public health care

Author
John Mangundu

Synopsis

This scholarly book focuses on the governance of information technology (IT) investments in both the private and public health care sectors, addressing the intricate challenges associated with aligning IT initiatives, delivering value and ultimately realising returns on IT investments. The book sheds light on the pressing necessity for rigorous scientific inquiry into the role of IT governance in enhancing health care service delivery in South Africa. The presented current research holds relevance across the dimensions of technological innovation, health care provisioning and management. This book comprehensively examines the hurdles faced during the implementation of IT governance. By examining IT governance practices from the perspective of both IT and business decision-makers within the private and public health care domains, the book offers a significant contribution to discussions on technological innovation in service delivery, including perspectives from the public and private sectors. Throughout its analysis, the book considers contextual factors such as the environment, organisational dynamics and IT governance, all of which can potentially impede effective governance processes. The book emphasises the substantial influence of organisational factors as impediments to successful IT governance. It demonstrates how health care organisations’ perceptions and approaches to IT governance significantly shape the trajectory of their endeavours. This interdisciplinary research offers fresh insights into implementing IT governance, particularly in developing economies with resource limitations.
