does cio risk appetite matter evidence from information security breach incidents
Social Science Research Network, 2018Co-Authors: Cecilia Feng, Tawei WangAbstract:After a series of recent high-profile information security breach incidents, practitioners have engaged in heated debates about the role of the chief information officer (CIO), particularly his/her role in information security risk management. However, little is known in the academic literature about how a CIO’s appetite for risk affects the effectiveness of information security management. We address this gap by examining how a CIO’s risk appetite is associated with information security breach incidents. We show that the level of CIO risk aversion is negatively associated with the likelihood of breach incidents. Furthermore, we find that this association is stronger if the company’s chief executive officer (CEO) is also risk averse. In additional analyses, we show that the relationship between CIO risk aversion and breach incidents varies depending on breach type and the strategic position of the company and is moderated by the CIO’s power.

the impact of information security breach incidents on cio turnover
Social Science Research Network, 2018Co-Authors: Rajiv D Banker, Cecilia FengAbstract:We investigate the relationship between security breaches and chief information officer (CIO) turnover. Because CIOs are directly responsible for IT performance, we argue that their turnover likelihood is higher when they fail to meet IT performance expectations, as reflected by security breaches. Specifically, we find that breaches caused by system deficiency increase CIO turnover likelihood by 72 percent. However, we find no such association for breaches caused by criminal fraud or human error. We extend our analyses to other executives and document that CEOs are more likely to turn over following breaches caused by both system deficiency and human error, consistent with their broader role within the firm. By contrast, we find no evidence suggesting that CFOs are more likely to turn over following breaches. The findings indicate negative labor market consequences for executives who fail to meet performance expectations within the scope of their duties.

an examination of effective it governance in the public sector using the legal view of agency theory
Journal of Management Information Systems, 2016Co-Authors: Gregory S Dawson, James S. Denford, David S Preston, Clay K Williams, Kevin C DesouzaAbstract:AbstractIn the private sector, research on information technology (IT) governance has frequently applied the classical view of agency theory and focused on the controlling role played by the board of directors in constraining a potentially opportunistic manager/agent. However, in the public sector, the board of directors does not exist and there may be less need to focus on the controlling aspect of governance and more need to focus on the politically challenging distribution of state resources. In this U.S.-state–based study, we adopt, apply, and extend the legal view of agency theory past its sole focus on the board of directors as the solitary mediating hierarch in order to examine the strategic mediating hierarch role played by the state legislature and then conceptualize and test for the existence of a tactical mediating hierarch played by the IT steering committee and the production role of an independent Office of the chief information officer (OCIO) in using a fee-for-service funding model. We app...

the chief information officer and chief financial officer dyad in the public sector how an effective relationship impacts individual effectiveness and strategic alignment
Journal of Information Systems, 2013Co-Authors: Kurt Schobel, James S. DenfordAbstract:ABSTRACT: Within the domain of information Technology Governance (ITG), the study of chief information officer (CIO) relationships has historically focused on the chief Executive officer (CEO) and the Top Management Team (TMT). Within knowledge-intensive, publicly funded, and not-for-profit organizations, the specific relationship between the CIO and the chief Financial officer (CFO) is a critical pairing, which impacts both individual effectiveness and strategic alignment. Findings from multiple case studies suggest that while the CIO and CFO pair are similar to other TMT relationships in many ways, their perceptions of the other's strategic role within the organization is a key differentiator that can lead to effective or adversarial relationships with individual and firm-level outcomes. The research model in this paper suggests that when the relationship is positive, both individual role effectiveness and strategic alignment improve.

The chief information officer and chief Financial officer Dyad--How an Effective Relationship Impacts Individual Effectiveness and Strategic Alignment
2012 45th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2012Co-Authors: James S. Denford, Kurt B. SchobelAbstract:Study of chief information officer (CIO) relationships has historically focused on the chief Executive officer (CEO) and the Top Management Team (TMT). We propose that within publicly funded and not-for-profit organizations, the specific relationship between the CIO and the chief Financial officer (CFO) is a critical pairing that impacts both individual effectiveness and strategic alignment. Our findings suggest that while the CIO and CFO pair are similar to other TMT relationships in many ways, their perceptions of the other's strategic role within the organization is a key differentiator that can lead to effective or adversarial relationships with individual and firm-level outcomes. When the relationship is positive, both individual role effectiveness and strategic alignment improve.

a comprehensive methodology for establishing and sustaining government chief information officer function
International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance, 2014Co-Authors: Elsa Estevez, Tomasz JanowskiAbstract:The Government chief information officer (GCIO) function is an international best practice for successful adoption of information and Communication Technology (ICT) within and across government organizations, for managing the impact of ICT on government and its partners, and for maximizing the benefits produced by ICT-enabled public governance to citizens. However, many governments around the world, particularly at the local level and in developing countries, lack the capacity, tools and insight required to establish GCIO functions to fit their institutional environment and address local needs, and others had to employ a mix of top-down design, bottom-up growth and trial-and-error. To assist governments in this task, and to fill existing research-policy gap, this paper presents a comprehensive but practical methodology for establishing and sustaining the GCIO function, strongly relying on government-academia collaboration, and presents the validation of this methodology through a national GCIO development project in Colombia (GCIO.CO). The main contribution of this paper is the presentation of a policy-level tool for systematic development of GCIO functions to match local conditions, including project-level implementation framework enabled by government-academia partnership.

identifying government chief information officer education and training needs the case of saudi arabia
Digital Government Research, 2014Co-Authors: Mohammed Gharawi, Elsa Estevez, Tomasz JanowskiAbstract:This paper identifies education and training needs of Government chief information officers (GCIO) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). It aims to provide foundation that would assist the KSA national e-Government program (YESSER) in identifying and prioritizing initiatives oriented towards building the capacity of GCIOs. Based on the results of a survey conducted among GCIOs and highest IT officials of 30 government agencies and the results of four semi-structured interviews, the paper identifies the knowledge areas and skills that should be developed by GCIO educational programs, the stages of public sector ICT in which GCIOs are most involved, the preferred delivery modes for the training, the preferred institutions for hosting GCIOs education and training programs, and the prerequisites for those who should participate in GCIO educational programs. In addition to the policy recommendations for the KSA Government, the main contribution of the paper is the validation of a methodology that can be applied by any government for designing capacity-building programs for their IT leaders.

landscaping government chief information officer education
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2013Co-Authors: Elsa Estevez, Tomasz JanowskiAbstract:This paper reviews the nature and responsibilities of Government chief information officer (GCIO) positions, defines competencies required to fulfill such responsibilities, and presents the results of a survey of 78 education programs from 21 countries to determine to what extent they build GCIO-relevant competencies and how much attention different programs pay to policy, design, implementation and operation aspects of the public sector information and Communication Technology (ICT). The survey covers CIO, Electronic Government, Technology Management, Leadership, Public Administration, Development, Sustainable Development and ICT for Development programs, all analyzed using a single conceptual framework. The survey revealed, among others: that the programs are strongly oriented toward one discipline, that no program fulfills all competency needs expected from GCIO positions, that such needs can be fulfilled by combinations of existing programs, and that a truly international GCIO curriculum is yet to emerge.

establishing government chief information officer systems readiness assessment
International Conference on Digital Government Research, 2011Co-Authors: Elsa Estevez, Tomasz Janowski, Ignacio Marcovecchio, Adegboyega OjoAbstract:Effective information Technology (IT) leadership is critical for achieving a good alignment between business needs and IT means of an organization. In the public sector, IT leadership is increasingly realized through the Government chief information officer (GCIO) function, typically established by governments based on local circumstances and emerging needs. This makes peer-learning about the working of such systems and their transfer between different government contexts challenging. To address this concern, the authors introduced earlier a GCIO System - a set of inter-related activities to guide governments in gradually establishing, operating and sustaining the GCIO function. Based on a common conceptual model of the GCIO function, this paper defines a methodology for conducting the readiness assessment part of the GCIO System. The methodology comprises a set of assessment areas and a step-wise process to conduct assessment in these areas. The paper also shares the experience in applying this methodology in practice, and proposes how the assessment could inform the execution of other activities of the GCIO System.

making the case for a clinical information system the chief information officer view
Journal of Critical Care, 2007Co-Authors: Carole M CotterAbstract:Adequate decision support for clinicians and other caregivers requires accessible and reliable patient information. Powerful societal and economic forces are moving us toward an integrated, patient-centered health care information system that will allow caregivers to exchange up-to-date patient health information quickly and easily. These forces include patient safety, potential health care cost savings, empowerment of consumers (and their subsequent demands for quality), new federal policies, and growing regional health care initiatives. Underspending on health care information technologies has gone on for many years; and the creation and implementation of a comprehensive clinical information system will entail many difficulties, particularly in regard to patients' privacy and control of their information, standardization of electronic health records, cost of adopting information technology, unbalanced financial incentives, and the varying levels of preparation across caregivers. There will also be potential effects on the physician-patient relationship. Ultimately, an integrated system will require a concerted transformation of the health care industry that is akin to what the banking industry has accomplished with electronic automation. Critical care units provide a good starting point for how information system technologies can be used and electronic patient information collected, although the robust systems designed for intensive care units are not always used to their potential.

Computerized physician order entry from a chief information officer perspective.
Journal of critical care, 2004Co-Authors: Carole M CotterAbstract:Designing and implementing a computerized physician order entry system in the critical care units of a large urban hospital system is an enormous undertaking. With their significant potential to improve health care and significantly reduce errors, the time for computerized physician order entry or physician order management systems is past due. Careful integrated planning is the key to success, requiring multidisciplinary teams at all levels of clinical and administrative management to work together. Articulated from the viewpoint of the chief information officer of Lifespan, a not-for-profit hospital system in Rhode Island, the vision and strategy preceding the information technology plan, understanding the system's current state, the gap analysis between current and future state, and finally, building and implementing the information technology plan are described.
