Data indicate that although the CIO is functioning at a high level in the organization, the service CIO is higher level than the industrial CIO. The CIO in service organizations is not as likely to be subordinated under a specific functional area, reports to a higher level in the organization, is closer to the chief executive officer, earns a significantly higher salary, commands a higher budget and is more involved in corporate strategy formulation and meetings.","The CIO's reporting responsibilities emphasize management of diverse information technologies, with few individuals indicating responsibility for non-IT activities. The CIO's perceptions of the most important information problem facing organizations, their information concerns and their most important achievement as CIO's all point to a technological approach to information.","The majority of CIO's come from an information systems employment background and have spent most of their careers in the same line of business in which they are currently employed.
