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.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMarshall, Byron1 aCurry, Michael1 aReitsma, Reindert  u/biblio/it-governance-norms-and-it-success-0
