HICSS - Proposal of an Operations Department Model to Provide IT Governance in Organizations that Don't have IT C-Level Executives
2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2010Co-Authors: Mitch CochranAbstract:For small organizations, there may not be enough resources to justify a ''C'' level Executive dedicated to information technology. The issue then becomes what structure can be used to provide for the same level of governance without that high-level visibility. One possibility is to include IT in the services that a landlord would normally provide to a tenant. The business units focus on the business and the proposed Operations Department model provides for all of the support structure needs. Those support structures provided by an Operations Department could include IT, facilities, heat, phones, cable TV, fleets, remodels, purchasing, moves or changes and project management. Since the Operations Department will be supporting the business units, it can assist and manage the IT infrastructure and use.

AMCIS - CIO Leadership Characteristics and Styles
2016Co-Authors: Ali Ghawe, Kathryn BrohmanAbstract:Although studies targeting CIO’s leadership characteristics are numerous, studies examining CIOs’ leadership styles are scarce. Today’s CIOs are often members of the firm’s C-Level Executive team with a wide range of leadership capabilities and characteristics that are not much different from those of the CEOs. What, then, are the characteristics and leadership styles for those CIOs? This literature review study attempts to answer those two questions by examining prior research on these topics. First, we examine prior literature identifying all studied characteristics and then, propose four categories to group them into meaningful sets. Second, we identify what leadership styles are used by researchers. And while the general leadership field has been evolving over the past twenty years shifting its focus and introducing new leadership styles, CIOs' leadership research is still entrapped in the old school of thinking. Consequently, we intend to stimulate new thinking about studying CIOs’ characteristics and styles.

A study of the structural integration of the marketing and PR functions in the C-suite
Journal of Marketing Communications, 2014Co-Authors: Pravin Nath, Monique BellAbstract:Recently, a number of firms have structurally integrated the distinct yet related functions of marketing and public relations (PR), under the leadership of a single corporate-, or C-Level, Executive. Such actions, as well as turf wars between the functions over social media ownership and related stakeholder management conflicts, have reignited the debate over whether marketing and PR should be separated or unified. By drawing on the pros and cons of integration, as suggested by prior conceptual research on integrated marketing communications, and using secondary data for a set of Fortune 500 firms, this study empirically tests this issue for multiple outcomes and contingencies. Results show that the integration of marketing and PR has positive benefits for firm reputation, an effect that is weakened as firm size increases, and positive effects for firm profitability in service-oriented firms.
