Abstract
There is little quantitative research on how to succeed as a CIO. Available literature, often based on expert opinion, focuses on highlighting select roles in which a CIO must excel as well as describing the skills, abilities, attributes, and expertise a successful CIO should possess. This ECAR research bulletin summarizes the literature surrounding the CIO position in higher education in three areas, specifically the constituents the CIO serves; the variety of roles a CIO may be required to assume; and the skills, abilities, attributes, and expertise currently thought necessary for CIO success.
