摘要:

Although strategic information systems planning (SISP) and executive information systems (EISs) have received much attention in the past few years, their reception has been mixed. Many companies agree that SISP and EISs are needed, but surprisingly few have adopted them. This column explores the reasons behind such reluctance and offers suggestions for MIS managers who wish to realize some of the benefits of SISP and EISs even though their companies are not ready to implement them.

摘要:

Microfilm has been around much longer than what we currently think of as office automation technology. Despite its age, microfilm still plays a strong supporting role in the automated office. Most companies prefer to retrieve microfilm records from computerized data bases, and computer-out-microfilm is now considered the most economical method for storing computer printout. Yet many automated systems do not take full advantage of microfilm capabilities or, worse, are misusing the technology—or, at least, are being exposed to unnecessary risk.

Every once in a while the technologists get out of hand a make changes that affect existing programs —that is, affect them so that they don't work any more. By the time you read this, the newest of such changes, IBM's OS/2 and its Microsoft version, should be available from your local computer store.

摘要:

In light of the current acceleration of change — in regulatory actions, competition, technology, and expectations mdash; and its potential impact on IS careers, the challenge of addressing change must be met. The opportunities that result can be significant.

摘要:

Without documentation, applications developed by users will probably not achieve their fullest potential. With proper documentation, the investments in writing and testing user-developed applications can pay dividends far beyond original expectations.

摘要:

Users now know just enough to be dangerous. How many times have you heard that one? How many times have you said it yourself? After a few years of watching users “take over,” some MIS professionals view users as more of a nuisance than in the days before end-user computing. But is this attitude justified, or is it simply the view of MIS professionals disgruntled by the growing computer expertise of those who haven't paid their dues?

摘要:

Although end-user computing has had a major impact on the information systems business, few books adequately discuss the subject. This column reviews three books that address some important aspects of end-user computing — how it can change the way people work, the benefits that can result from this change, and economic justifications for it.
