Government agencies constitute a significant component of economic activity in most countries. Like their
private sector counterparts, many public sector agencies are struggling to cope with reduced or inadequate IT
budgets and are continuously looking for ways to extract maximum value from IT resources. While there are
many similarities between public and private sector organisations, there are inherent differences that suggest
that a one size fits all approach to IT Governance may not apply in all circumstances. However, despite these
differences, there exists a paucity of IT Governance research that distinguishes between the different
organisational characteristics found in private and public sector organisations. This paper briefly examines the
systemic differences between public and private sector organisations so as to identify the unique IT Governance
issues that might arise, and that future research should address.
