Therefore focus should now lie on how IT is adjusted to the Business rather than on the usage of IT.

To develop the IT-department in that direction the IT-staff need to start cooperate with the Business and gain knowledge about stakeholders, markets and the way of working for other staff members in the Business.With this as a basis, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate attitudes regarding cooperation between the IT-department and the Business and if there is any difference if the CIO has Business related background or not.To fulfil the purpose a quantitative investigation with the help of surveys was conducted. The sample consisted of 18 companies with 100-200 employees in the area of Jönköping.
