Assalamualaikum .

From this chapter , i think in order to create competitive advantage , employee must work together to develop strategic advantages. Ethics and security are two fundamental building blocks that organizations must base their business upon. While IT is a relatively new functional area formly around 40 years.

Recent IT - related strategic positions:

• Chief  Information Officer (CIO)
• Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
• Chief Security Officer ( CSO)
• Chief Privacy Officer (CPO)
• Chief knowledge Office (CKO)

All position has their own responsibility that support initiative advantage.

What concerns CIOs the most ? Look here ~~

Business process expertise in functional areas such as marketing, accounting and sales.

Each department have the technological expertise. They fight each other in order to gain something.

However ~~

Ethics and security are two fundamental building blocks that organization must base their businesses on to be successful. For example, student change their SPM's result.

Next , protecting intellectual assets. Organizational information is intellectual capital , it must be protected.

Information security is the protection of information from accidental or intentional misuse by persons inside or outside an organization.

That's all , thank youu :)
