A review of the literature on the role of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) reveals the importance of the political aspect of this role. Building on the Political Strategies Framework (Romm & Rippa, 2010), this study investigates the utilization of political strategies across two cultures, the US and India. The findings show crucial differences between CIO’s political behavior in the two cult...

We give an algorithm for generating cyclic self-orthogonal (CSO) codes for an arbitrary positive integer n with gcd(n; q) = 1. Given a cyclic q-ary code of length n, we determine how many codes isomorphic to the given code are cyclic. We introduce a mass formula for CSO(n; q) codes of maximum dimension. Using the mass formula we classify CSO(63; 2) codes. This mass formula works for any cyclic ...

Many CEOs now expect their CIOs not just to specify and manage the IT infrastructure but to drive the transformation agenda. However, what our research is indicting is that CIOs are struggling w...

Based on compensation data of 213 CIOs in 2002, we test several hypotheses linking the total, annual cash, and long term co...
