Although recently several studies have addressed the required skills of effective CIOs, little is known of the actual behavior successful CIOs. In this study, we explore the behavior of highly effective CIOs by video-recording CIOs at work. The two CIOs videotaped were nominated as CIO of the year. We analyze the data in an innovative and systematic way by developing and using a behavioral lead...

Although studies targeting CIO’s leadership characteristics are numerous, studies examining CIOs’ leadership styles are scarce. Today’s CIOs are often members of the firm’s C-level executive team with a wide range of leadership capabilities and characteristics that are not much different from those of the CEOs. What, then, are the characteristics and leadership styles for those CIOs? This liter...

We give an algorithm for generating cyclic self-orthogonal (CSO) codes for an arbitrary positive integer n with gcd(n; q) = 1. Given a cyclic q-ary code of length n, we determine how many codes isomorphic to the given code are cyclic. We introduce a mass formula for CSO(n; q) codes of maximum dimension. Using the mass formula we classify CSO(63; 2) codes. This mass formula works for any cyclic ...
