A survey of user-management practices in major U.S. corporations

Published:26 June 1980Publication History

ABSTRACT

Increasing attention is being paid to the subject of user-management involvement in the computer-based information system (CBIS) development process. In-depth research was conducted at five major corporations to determine user-management practices that had proven successful in real-world business environments. The results of the research are presented as a series of principles, or concepts, validated by successful business-world applications, which comprise a planning and control framework for CBIS development designed to guide the interested user-manager in establishing effective management control of the CBIS function in his organization.
