The CIO plans and carries out the information strategy that supports the business strategy: IT investment, the company-wide information systems plan, and information management. Each C-level title names the area its holder governs.

- •(c) — technology strategy and R&D plans belong to the CTO (Chief Technology Officer)
- •(d) — planning business strategy and running the business belong to the CEO and COO (Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officer)
