Abstract
The term Chief Information Officer (CIO) was first coined in 1981 and has been implemented in many firms across a range of industries. Two competing institutional theory views are proposed, one leading to the institutionalization and one leading to the extinguishment of the CIO position. A pilot test was conducted examining Security and Exchange Commission filings where instances of adoption, reduction in status and abandonment were identified.
