Abstract :
Based on qualitative and quantitative analysis of data gathered in structured interviews with 96 IT managers and executives, this paper proposes a typology of IT skills. The resulting typology is comprehensive enough to represent both current and future skills, concise enough to do so in a parsimonious and easily understood manner, consistent with general themes from prior research, and generalizable enough to accommodate future changes in the field.
