Abstract
Despite the importance of the role of the Chief MIS Executive, little is known about the Information Needs of Top MIS Managers, ” This article uses a Critical Success Factors (CSF) approach to explore the information needs of these managers. It has been widely speculated that top MIS Managers are remiss in their use of the technology they provide to others. This article also reports on a study of the formal information systems used personally by chief MIS executives and contrasts these results with their needs as revealed by the CSF analysis.Keywords
