Each company and each manager who strives „Towards Thought Leadership in Digital Transformation” has to excel in IT management and in IT strategy. Consequently, various new and challenging research topics emerge in this domain: First, technologies like Cloud Computing and practices like “bring your own device” challenge traditional boundaries of IT management. Second, the goals of IT management like efficiency, flexibility, and risk limitation have started to get re-weighted. Third, in order to cope with such changed requirements, organizations have to refine well-established IT management methods and tools. Fourth, those developments result in various changes to the role of IT management in organizations (for example the role of the CIO in the organization). In sum, new and interesting research opportunities emerge that address social, organizational, technical, and economic issues of IT management and IT strategy at different levels of analysis (e.g. individual, organizational, and inter-organizational).
