%X This is an opinion paper regarding a proposal of a model for a Ecosystemm Governance. In the globalized 
world the importance of Information Systems (IS) and Information Technology (IT) become increasingly 
relevant regarding the requirements imposed by competition. Both the knowledge of the business as the 
rapid flow of information are fundamental for a enterprise decision making. Whereas the basic definition of 
IT = hardware + software, i.e. , tools that has been used to create, store and disseminate data and 
information in the creation of knowledge, and IS = IT + People + procedures that collect, process and 
disseminate the information to support decision making, coordination, control, analysis and visualization 
in the organization [01], it makes implicit the understanding of IS is essential to create competitive
companies, to manage global corporations and provide customers with products and services of value. In
this work we are correlating IS with the governance of management of an ecosystem.
