Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide an unbiased picture of what many universities seek and expect in terms of requirements, attributes, competencies, and expected functions and duties in IT executive candidates, namely the Chief Information Officer (CIO). The paper provides a benchmark that can be used by universities to compare or build their IT leadership profiles. The study examines the education, experience, and other skills requirements in 374 active and archived electronic web advertisements for the position of CIO. It also looks at the expected job requirements for that role. The findings suggest that universities’ criteria and requirements for CIOs may vary based on factors such as the organization size and needs, the complexity of the organizational structure, and available budget, but are overall comparable with those of other industries.
