C$-$Level Roles

Reflect upon the roles that individuals play within a business. The era of mom$-$and$-$pop businesses, in which one person knew the entire business, is gone. Today$$s businesses span entire states and countries and are often made up of multiple businesses. No one person today can understand the business, finances, IT$,$ marketing, and other departments that make up a modern$-$day organization. With the growth we have seen, there is a need to have other chief executive$-$level positions to help manage the business as a team. Each of these chief executives needs information specific to their area of expertise to make informed decisions.

Discuss the different needs of two C$-$level leadership roles $($e$.$g$.,$ CIO, CEO, COO, CFO, CMO, or CSO$)$ regarding information systems and why each C$-$level leadership would need different information systems and what systems they may be able to all utilize. From the perspective of an IT manager, also discuss the difficulties of having different needs from each C$-$level role.
