ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the important managerial activities and the associated skills of IS managers in various types of industries and levels of management. In this study, survey questionnaire was designed based on the competency model and data were collected via questionnaire administered in Taiwan. Top 2000 firms were the candidates for this study. Of these, 547 firms were selected to participate in this study. The results indicate that 1) there is no perceptual difference among levels of management and types of industry regarding to the relative importance on managerial skills. 2) For the relative importance of managerial activity, there is no perceptual difference among types of industry. However, different levels of management have different perception. Thus, three sets of managerial activities are identified based on the level of management. These findings can serve as criteria for recruiting and promoting IS managers as well as to be an empirical basis for IS manager's management development.
