ERP4IT - Discussion on IT Governance

I today noticed the business blog of "alphasong", discussing IT Governance and the academic community's approach to it - it would seem that he/she is concerned that academic business research tends to be doing "hard IT" rather than looking purely at the business and IT crossover points.

Having done some IS research in a business school, it is an interesting point of view - however, I think the state of the research is still fairly new for IT Governance and I think academia has a great deal of work in the pipeline (we had at least two papers for the Australian Accounting Review issue that are specifically on IT Governance). One of the fun things, I believe, with academia is that the process to publication is measured in years, not months, and certainly not minutes like blogging is.
