This research particularly aimed to examine mediating roles of Information Technology (IT) innovation under the influences of IT governance to improve competitive advantages of institutions. For this primary goal, it was conducted both quantitatively and qualitatively. Apart from an empirical survey with active participation of 85 private schools of informatics management and computing in Indonesia, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were applied. Heads of respective schools became the informants. Quantitative data results emphasize that IT governance has indirect influences on competitive advantages. Mediating roles of IT innovation, however, positively and significantly improve such advantages. This paper suggests the essence of IT governance and IT innovation in improving higher education institutions in developing and developed countries.
