This book examines the effectiveness of communication between chief information officer (CIO) and chief executive officer (CEO) and its impact on the role of information technology (IT) in an organization. The book is empirically based on interviews with CIO/CEO pairs from twelve organizations in the manufacturing and retail industries. It examines how CIOs and CEOs can achieve effectiveness in their communication, including insights into antecedents and consequences of communication effectiveness.
