Overview

""The Management of End User Computing: A Research Perspective"" explores the burgeoning field of end user computing as it stood in the early 1980s. Authored by John F. Rockart and Lauren S. Flannery, this book offers insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by the increasing involvement of non-technical users in computing. It provides a valuable historical perspective on the evolution of information management within organizations, highlighting the early strategies and considerations for effectively managing end user computing resources. While technology has advanced significantly since its publication, the fundamental principles of user empowerment, data management, and organizational integration remain relevant. This work serves as a foundational text for understanding the roots of modern IT management and the ongoing quest to align technology with business objectives. It is a worthwhile resource for researchers, historians of technology, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the evolution of computing in the workplace.
