Abstract

Although not many managers have been hands-on computer users until recently, they were critical users of computer output from the beginning of business computing, in the 1960s. Information Systems research, for example, has included an HCI thread for 40 years. Unfortunately, our fields have not interacted effectively, as noted in my January-February 2006 column. In this, the second guest-authored Timelines column, Dov Te'eni reviews four decades of HCI research in IS, describes its state today, and suggests where it is headed. ---Jonathan Grudin, Timelines editor
