Introduction: The research in IT governance in public organizations has already captured the attention of researchers, policy makers and IT practitioners and different research studies have been reported in this topic both in developed and developing countries. The researchers studying IT governance in public organizations have encountered different challenges that are mainly due to the differences between political, administrative, and practices in these organizations. Some of these challenges are related to governance processes and policy-making mechanisms change due to the application of ICT-enabled innovation. Moreover, the dilemma is actually related to governance and alignment issues between policy ICT-enabled initiatives and the diverse stakeholders they involve. Furthermore, public organizations are now very concerned to make more steps towards digitalization and transform their services.
