IT Duopoly
• IT Executives and one other group• 2-party arrangement where decisions
represent a bilateral agreement• Differs from a federal model in that federal
always has both corporate and local business representation
• Duopoly has one or the other – but not both – and always includes IT professionals
• Duopolies can take one of two forms• Bicycle wheel or t-shaped
