The impact of senior management involvement, organisational commitment and group efficacy on ITIL implementation benefits
2014
Published version of an article from the journal: Information Systems and e-Business Management. Also available from Springerlink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10257-014-0253-4 Senior management involvement, organisational commitment and group efficacy are expected to have a positive impact on Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) implementation benefits. Specifically, more involvement, commitment and efficacy should produce greater achievement. Analysing data from a survey of 446 Nordic ITIL experts, this paper examines the relationships between these predictor factors and benefits, and investigates which is most critical. This study verifies the importance of all factors, but…
Exploring the Relationship between Information Technology Infrastructure Library and Process Management: Theory Development and Empirical Testing
2014
This paper investigates whether information technology (IT) departments that implement the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes also employ process management. This is a pertinent issue, as ITIL not only implies a time-limited program for redesigning vital IT processes according to best practices but a complete transformation to ITIL also implies that processes are managed on a daily basis. Without process management, ITIL will not be a success beyond its initial implementation. A survey of 444 Nordic ITIL experts was conducted to examine if there is a correlation between the implementation of ITIL processes and process management. The results are unambiguous and promising for sustain…
Understanding the ITIL Implementation Project: Conceptualization and Measurements
2011
The purpose of this research is to contribute to the theorizing of ITIL. The paper provides a model that conceptualizes the scope and content of an ITIL implementation project, and it tests and validates measurements based on a literature study and data from a survey of 446 Nordic ITIL experts.
Strategising IT service management through ITIL implementation: model and empirical test
2015
Research on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) lacks appropriate theories and models that capture the distinct characteristics and implications of the ITIL implementation practice. The purpose of this study is to close this gap. Based on a literature review, we develop and empirically validate a theoretical model: the ITIL Implementation Project Model. The model includes significant antecedents, which provide a foundation upon which an effective ITIL implementation project can be built, as well as the pertinent effects of implementing ITIL. The results contribute to the current research stream on the strategising of IT service management as well as to an improved under…
Proposal for the Reengineering of Processes in the Management of Information and Communication Technology
2019
This article describes the strategies implemented in the improvement of the processes in the management of information and communication technology (ICT) on the “Universidad Nacional de Loja” carried out by the “Unidad de Telecomunicaciones e Informacion” (UTI). First, the analysis of the processes carried out in the management of ICT is narrated. Subsequently, the experiences and best practices of information technology management implemented are described, considering the processes recommended by the Technology Infrastructure Library of Information (ITIL v3). Finally, the results obtained from the process of reengineering in ICT management carried out by the UTI are shown, using free soft…
Process reference frameworks as institutional arrangements for digital service innovation
2020
Abstract Information systems (IS) service organizations are increasingly more concerned with their ability to co-create digital services with customers in service ecosystems. Practitioners and researchers, however, lack understanding of which organization mechanisms effectively contribute to IS organizations’ innovation practices. Grounded in service-dominant logic, we hypothesized that process reference frameworks (PRFs), such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), act as institutional arrangements through their norms, rules, and practices, enhancing IS organizations’ ability to innovate digital services. Data collected from 159 IS organizations confirmed our hypotheses, showing that eff…
Implementing IT Service Management: A systematic literature review
2013
Author's version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Information Management. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2013.01.004 This article provides a systematic review of existing research related to the implementation of IT Service Management (ITSM) and the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). The review's main goals are to support research; to facilitate other researchers' search for relevant studies; and to propose areas for future studies within this area. In addition, we provide IT managers with useful information on ITSM and ITIL, based on research-based knowledge of their implementation. The review results sug…
Using the ITIL Process Reference Model for Realizing IT Governance: An Empirical Investigation
2014
Information Technology Infrastructure Library ITIL is a popular framework for IT governance, but little academic research on ITIL exists. The authors investigate the overlap between ITIL and IT governance practices to illustrate ITIL's potential to stimulate IT governance. A field study shows that IT implementation success is particularly influenced by group efficacy and organizational resources, and, to a lesser extent, senior-management involvement. Findings show that ITIL, as expected, is a framework that contributes to IT governance by stimulating process management practices.
ITIL-viitekehyksen mukaisen ongelmanhallintaprosessin kriittiset menestystekijät : tapaustutkimus IT-palveluorganisaatiossa
2016
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on tutkia Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) -viitekehyksen mukaisen ongelmanhallintaprosessin kriittisiä menestystekijöitä. ITIL-viitekehys on laajasti käytetty kokoelma parhaita käytäntöjä IT-palvelunhallintaan, joita voidaan soveltaa kuhunkin organisaatioon sopivaksi tarpeiden mukaan. Ongelmanhallintaprosessi on yksi palvelunhallinnan prosesseista, jolla on tärkeä rooli insidenttien eli tapahtumien juurisyiden tutkinnassa. Ongelmalla tarkoitetaan yhden tai useamman tapahtuman tarkempaa juurisyytä. Ongelmanhallinnan keskeinen tehtävä on juurisyiden löytäminen ja poistaminen. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa perehdytään ITIL-viitekehykseen ja ongelmanhall…
Enabling a culture for IT services; the role of the IT infrastructure library
2016
Building on process management and service climate theories, this paper investigates the pertinent issues of whether firms that implement ITIL best practices for IT service management will also experience growth in their process management activities and IT service climate. First, ITIL practices imply that processes in the IT department should be managed on a daily basis; without process management, ITIL will fail beyond its initial implementation. Second, two of the main reasons for adopting ITIL are to become a service-oriented organisation and to deliver IT services that meet business needs. Thus, we hypothesise that as the implementation status of ITIL increases, process management and …
