Difference Between IT Governance and GEIT (Governance of enterprise IT)

Chapter 1
Concepts of governance and management of enterprise IT

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IT GOVERNANCE AND GEIT

According to our study material,

IT Governance refers to the system in which directors of the enterprise
evaluate, direct and monitor (First they evaluate i.e. form an opinion, then they direct i.e. what should be done and then in last they monitor i.e. what should be done is actually being done.) 
IT Management to ensure 
effectiveness, accountability and compliance 
of IT.

My dear friends, note the line (effectiveness, accountability and compliance of IT) i.e. only of IT.

Now what is GEIT????

 lets start with a definition.....

 GEIT is the system by which IT activities in a company are directed and controlled to achieve business objectives with the ultimate objective of meeting stakeholders needs. 

 And as given in earlier post 

 Corporate Governance is a system by which company is directed and controlled to achieve objectives of increasing stakeholder value by increasing economic performance i.e. business economic performance.

 Therefore, GEIT is a subset of Corporate Governance.

 RESULT: GEIT is broader than IT Governance i.e. Focus of IT Governance is only on IT management whereas focus of GEIT is on whole Business management.

    Is it safe to say that IT governance is governance OF IT related activities and GEIT is governance USING IT?

    "GEIT is the system by which IT activities in a company are directed and controlled to achieve business objectives with the ultimate objective of meeting stakeholders needs."--------Wrongly written from module, since this system is IT Governance.

      Mohit sir's concept is correct but in the module this definition of GEIT has been mistakenly printed under governance of IT. So there is a problem in the module.
