摘要:

Contention between MIS (us) and users (them) continues to be one of the most serious barriers to successful MIS planning. Users contend that MIS is more interested in exploiting the latest technology than in solving users' problems. MIS contends that users do not really know what they want, but they want it yesterday. This column explains how poor user relations cripple investment planning efforts and how MIS can take steps to improve the situation.
