Since the 1990s, organizations have gradually become involved in the transformation of their information technology (IT) management process. In order to determine the direction of IT development in correlation with business needs, a consolidated management approach is imposed. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the maturity level of IT management process in an organization. For this purpose, an empirical study in a Romanian public service company was done by using the benchmarking technique and Capability Maturity Model to describe the maturity level of IT management process. Four benchmarking classes, including a number of 24 benchmarks, were taken into account to focus on the main key issues - IT management strategy and IT planning; alignment of business strategy, IT strategy, organizational structure, and IT infrastructure; and information systems security management. The study reveals that the IT management process is mainly focused on technological dimension and less on the managerial one. It was observed that IT managers have a low awareness of managerial skills in planning, organizing, controlling, and leading the IT activities. Practical implication of the study presents two major issues: 1) on one hand, the need to approach a transversal vision in managing the IT process by aligning it to a complex set of choices, reflecting both a strategic and functional perspective and, 2) on the other hand, this study may be useful for managers looking to improve management of the IT department as well as the quality of their services. The study also indicates specific recommendations to refine the IT management process of Romanian companies.

Summary This article examined a variant of the Capability Maturity Model integrated (CMMi) through the lens of advertising process improvement. The population and sample were taken from a national array of U.S. marketing organizations. Using ANOVA, a 0.05 significance level, and a stratification of service marketing organizations versus product marketing organizations, the study showed a statistically significant difference (F(1, 304) = 4.03; p = 0.04; ω2 = 0.00) regarding the hypothesis representing the notion that processes were potentially sporadic, chaotic, and ad hoc. This notion corresponded to the first maturity level of the examined process maturity framework. With respect to the Likert-scale data representing the first maturity level, the successive means analysis showed that both service marketing firms (M = 2.99) and product marketing firms (M = 2.74) reported neutrality regarding whether processes were deemed sporadic, chaotic, and ad hoc. Thus, the respondents perceived no evidence of the first maturity level among the queried work settings. Future studies may examine different stratifications of marketing firms (e.g., for-profit versus non-profit; domestic versus international; and so on) to better explore the proposed advertising maturity model.

This study investigates the types of knowledge management process (KMP) arrangements firms adopt and how these arrangements relate to innovation. Data from 341 Brazilian and Portuguese information technology companies were analysed using a sequence of statistical treatments (factor analysis, cluster analysis and analysis of variance). The study adopts a perspective other than those of linear models to investigate the KMP arrangements applied by firms and their relation to innovation. The findings suggest that (1) firms adopt balanced KMP arrangements; (2) assuring a certain degree of knowledge application, firms can reach comparable levels of innovation by emphasizing either sharing or storage processes; knowledge sharing processes can compensate for lower levels of other knowledge processes and sustain better levels of innovation; and (3) investments in KMP tend to reach a maximum effect, from which innovation decelerates. The study focuses on the relationship between the KMPs and innovation in the information technology sector, thereby limiting generalization to other sectors. As a practical implication, knowledge managers are provided with information emphasizing the importance of controlling the investments and the organization of KMP arrangements aimed at innovation.

The present study aimed to explore and evaluate employee’s capability maturity level and propose a solution to enhance it at Iran’s Oil Company. It was conducted through descriptive-field and cross-sectional method. The statistical population included 269 employees who were selected through simple random sampling and the sample size was estimated using Cochran formula. Curtis standard questionnaire was employed for data collection. Face validity and content validity of the questionnaire were confirmed by several experts including the management professors and managers of the mentioned company. Reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed through Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was equal to 0.89. Having analyzed the research questions, the findings revealed that maturity level of employees is totally weak from the third level onward. Therefore, maturity of employees is at the second level of maturity model, i.e. this company has defined and executed its primary and repeatable processes. Likewise, one-sample t-test for each level showed that status of dimensions in the second level was more than the average level (mean was equal to 3.54 and the significance level was less than 0.05) and it was less than the desirable level in other levels (2.69, 2.61, and 2.59 respectively).
