This case investigates the possible adoption approaches of Enterprise Governance of IT based around the COBIT framework.

Consider the attached paper titled "COBIT 5 and Enterprise Governance of Information Technology: Building Blocks and Research Opportunities" by Steven De Haes et al.

The paper positions COBIT as a framework for enterprise governance of IT and describes in sections I-Ill the major directions and core principles of the framework - all of which we have discussed in this course.

The paper also provides directions for the adoption of COBIT that:

(1) investigates COBIT as an artefact (i.e. observed within an experimental procedure)

(2) sees the framework within an ecosystem of competing and complementary frameworks and standards, or

(3) uses it as a common measurement foundation for investigation of some particular aspect of EGIT or cognate areas of inquiry such as IT audit and assurance.

Please attempt the following two questions:

1. Briefly discuss the three suggested adoption directions based on your studies of the course and sections I-Ill of the paper, explaining which of the three you consider as more appropriate as a direction for COBIT and the reasons for your selection.

2. Offer a short example for each of the three suggested adoption directions that happened in an existing corporate (one example corporate per direction). You may use Internet search or University databases.

Present your findings as
