Abstract

A survey of MIS professionals and end users in corporations is used to develop an understanding of the impact of End User Computing on the corporate information processing environment. Traditional corporate MIS department's role and degree of involvement in the initiation and development of End User Computing in the corporation is investigated. The study chronicles the evolution of EUC activities in the respondents' organizations and identifies the emergence of a new partnership between the MIS department and end users based on a set of redefined roles, responsibilities and relationships. These changing roles and responsibilities are described and discussed.
