The Fox School’s Institute for Business and Information Technology in collaboration with the Special Issue on Digital Business Strategy of Management Information Systems Quarterly (MISQ) presents the Fox IT symposium: CIO 2.0: Next generation of insights on digital business strategy.
The symposium will integrate different points of views on how IT shapes and influences business strategy. As exponential advances in the price/performance of computing, storage, bandwidth, and software applications drive the next generation of digital technologies, it is time to rethink the role of IT strategy, from functional-level strategy aligned, but subordinate to business strategy, to a fusion between IT strategy and business strategy termed digital business strategy. The symposium will discuss how next-generation CIOs can take advantage of their deep knowledge of digital technology to take a leadership role in their firm’s formulation of business strategy.
