Master of Technology: Information Technology in the Faculty of Informatics and Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology 2014 / Higher education institutions are considered mission central due to the amount of information processing. Consequently the demand for information provision had dramatically increased in modern times. Universities and other large organisations are immensely challenged to produce accurate information hence it is information centric environments with lots of dependencies. This particular study followed a qualitative approach which includes interviews to collect the data which will assist the researcher to understand the problems of information retrieving from the IS and the strategic role of the CIO in higher education.
