Abstract
A review of the literature on the role of the Chief Information Officer CIO reveals the importance of the political aspect of this role. Building on the Political Strategies Framework Romm & Rippa, 2010, this study investigates the utilization of political strategies across two cultures, the US and India. The findings show crucial differences between CIO's political behavior in the two cultures that are in line with the Hofstede 1980 culture model. The paper concludes with a discussion of the differences between CIO political behavior in the two cultures and how the Hofstde cultural dimensions can explain these differences.
