Through increasing influence of digitization within the global economy, business processes become more and more dependent on IT. Social media drive companies to respond faster. New business models are being developed, facilitated by technological innovations. Increasing specialization drives the use of flexible networks. Cyber security becomes more important as well as safeguarding privacy. The CIO has to manage the dynamics of integrating increasing business demands with increasing complexity of technology supply. This raises the following research question:

“How does the digital economy influence the role of the CIO?”

This article is based upon existing research on characteristics of the digital economy as well as on related CIO typologies and their underlying factors. The empirical research aims to assess existing typologies, answer the research question and identify possible recommendations.
