The continuing evolution of IT and its associated
capabilities lead to new ways of collaboration and organization,
and the resulting impacts on business processes, organizations,
markets and societal institutions require new approaches to management
and governance. The CRITO Consortium is a cooperative research program
with industry, providing robust solutions to the issues faced by
executives in leveraging IT for competitive advantage.
Established as a National Science Foundation Industry/University
Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC), the CRITO Consortium conducts
research vital to both industry and academia. Business and IT Executives
have partnered with us since 1998, valuing our research-based insights
into the issues faced by their organizations.
Internationally prominent faculty from UC Irvine’s Paul Merage
School of Business, School of Social Sciences and School of Information
and Computer Science, adopt rigorous scientific research methods
to address critical IT-related managerial challenges. Researchers
have developed frameworks and concepts that have been used by many
of our industry partners in a variety of applications. These include
migrating to networked organizational forms, measuring the return
on investment in IT, developing sourcing strategies for IT services,
approaching participation in B2B marketplaces, designing technology
products for the home and many more. Current members include world-class
user organizations such as the Boeing Company and the Department
of Defense along with pre-eminent technology companies such as Intel
and IBM, and trend predictors such as IDC.
Membership in the CRITO Consortium provides your organization with
academic and industry expertise in one package. Harnessing the synergies
between our members and our faculty, our connections and resources,
we provide benefits of an industry association with a research edge.
