Cyber Compellence: An Instrument of Technology-Driven Strategy

The core thesis of this article is to establish that technology has an increasingly significant role in strategy and policy formulation. The instrument through which this relationship is examined is Cyber Compellence using the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack as a yardstick to analyse its effectiveness. It is concluded that the impact of cyber technology on governance and policy formulation is rapidly emerging and is likely to become very significant in the near future, hence, a technology-driven and aware culture needs to be promoted.
