Mini-Track Title: IS Leadership Development
Track: IS Leadership and the IT Profession (SIGLEAD)
Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2019
Aims and Scope:
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 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.
Possible Topics:
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
Important Dates:
* January 7, 2019: System opens for general paper submissions
* March 1, 2019: Paper submissions due (10:00am PST)
* April 15, 2019: Decisions made for Completed Research, ERFs
