An examination of how the CIO influences his/her peers and to whom s/he reports: Advantages and Disadvantages of Reporting Alternatives in support of a strategic IT positions

Your term paper is a conventional research paper. The topic of the paper is: “An examination of how the
CIO influences his/her peers and to whom s/he reports: Advantages and Disadvantages of Reporting
Alternatives in support of a strategic IT positions”. For instance, the CIO may report to the CEO, CFO,
COO or sometimes to an executive board (rare). Think about the pluses and negatives for the IT
executive who wants his/her agenda in the planning mix. The term CIO is not always used. Begin by
reading Nicholas Carr’s short essay on “IT in 2018” (in the Week 11 Content folder). Included in the resource file.

You may use readings from the course. However, the paper is not to be a summary of the discussions
we had.
If you wish to do a different topic, ask me.
Your APA formatted term paper has this structure. 
These three sections in bold/italics are no less than 5
pages single spaced, 10 if double spaced. The body of the paper will be around 3,000 words, single
spaced, 1” margins, 12 pnt New Times Roman. APA does not use footnotes or endnotes. Use page
number insert, bottom with your name. 
• Title Page 
• Abstract 
• Introduction (This lays out the purpose of the paper and the major themes you will develop)
• Review of literature 
• Analysis of the problem
• References
• End matter (if any to include tables/figures/illustrations). This section is labeled “Appendix or
Appendices if more than one”. Number each and refer to them in the body of the paper (see Appendix
A, B so on as applicable.) 
End matter typically is not necessary in a short paper. 
Students have asked me if they can shift the focus to a specific organizational setting, such as public
sector or not-for-profit. Yes. The paper addresses governance and how the placement of an executive
within the organizational structure effects his/her ability to provide strategic value to that organization.
