IS Leadership & Development is broadly defined to include
research on IS leaders such as CIOs and CTOs, including their
roles and careers. Though articles on IS Leadership Development
abound in the practitioner press, much less attention has been
devoted to the topic from an academic perspective. IS Leadership
Development sets directions, creates a commitment, and adapts the
IS unit to fit a changing environment. It is, thus, an enduring
concern to IS academics and practitioners alike. It is an issue
that should face organizations for many years because leadership
has been a persistent concern of all societies and organizations.
The mini-track seeks to explore the various dimensions,
theoretical bases, and perspectives on IS Leadership Development
and to advance the state of scholarship on the issue. Authors are
encouraged to submit both conceptual and empirical papers that
employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
Topics include, but not limited to:
CIO and CTO Roles and Careers
* CIO reporting structure
* Strategic positioning within the organization
* Characteristics of a successful leader
* Managing success and failure
Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition)
* Promoting from within the company or hiring from the outside
* Required skills for CIOs and CTOs
* Qualifications for being promoted to CEO
* IS succession planning
Non-Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition for
Non-IT Managers)
* Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO
and CTO positions in large enterprises
* Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO
and CTO positions for IS as a secondary role in SMEs
* Importance of CIOs to have a "pure" IT background
