IT governance is one of the concepts that emerged recently and has become an important issue in the information
technology arena especially regarding SMEs operations. Some organizations started with the implementation of IT
governance in order to achieve the fusion between business and IT. Small and medium businesses account for the
transition to a market economy while playing an important part in innovation, income generation and dynamism in

result revealed that there is a significant impact between portfolio management and SMEs performances. The study
