The systems development function is changing. A recent survey by Alloway and Quillard indicates that the demand for new systems is shifting away from transaction processing systems and toward managerial support systems [3]. The survey also points out large known and invisible backlogs in systems development requests. These changing demands are happening in conjunction with new developments in hardware and software technology. As changes occur in demand and technology, the systems development function strives to attain a high level of user satisfaction. Prototyping is suggested as a method for building better systems, faster.

Research and planning in the area of business data processing curriculum has been conducted for decades. Much of the current thinking is that a technical education in the area of programming is essential for success in business data processing. Not much emphasis has been placed on the business application side. This paper reviews some recent empirical research and proposes a user-oriented education for business programmers.

U.S. Business today faces severe tests in both national and international markets due to intense competition from foreign companies. Consequently, widespread attention is being given to the problem of increasing the productivity and long-term profitability of U.S. business. Productivity is used here to refer the efficiency and effectiveness of the conversion of resources to output goods and services.

In several guises, the Office of the Future (OOF) is upon us. Apart from the obvious economic and managerial challenges engendered by the importation of communication and data-processing technology into the office, there will be a longer-term trend towards the reshaping of jobs and job structures, particularly as these relate to information-handling tasks. This paper is an attempt to define opportunities, to prognosticate trends and to lay out a plan of action for forecasting individual careers in an office slightly automated now and increasingly automated in the future.
未来办公室(Office of the Future，简称OOF)正以多种形式出现在我们面前。除了将通讯和数据处理技术引进办公室所造成的明显的经济和管理挑战外，将有一个较长期的趋势是改变工作和工作结构，特别是与信息处理任务有关的工作和工作结构。本文试图定义机会，预测趋势，并制定一项行动计划，以预测办公室的个人职业生涯，现在稍微自动化，将来会越来越自动化。

This paper presents several factors to be considered when designing a novice user-machine interface for an on-line system. These include user objectives, current procedures for processing the data, tutorial aids, database organization and human factors issues related to ease of terminal use. Various examples from recent experience are given to illustrate some of these points.

The subject of user involvement in computer-based information systems (CBIS) development is one that continues to be addressed with concern in both management and information systems literature. The problem of obtaining an effective degree of user-community involvement in the CBIS development process is one that has been recognized in the literature for some time. (7) Current writings on the subject reflect a clear consensus of opinion on the part of writers with academic and practitioner backgrounds that active and knowledgeable user-community involvement is a key determinant in the development of successful information systems in a modern business environment. It is further recognized that an active interest and initiative on the part of business management is a necessary pre-condition to achieving an effective level of user-involvement.

This paper comprises two parts. The first describes results from the empirical follow-up study. This study concerns the change-over and early use periods of new application software. After one year's experience in usage of a computer system we organize a programming course for users. Our findings encourage to give users more responsibility in systemeering. Most clerks passed the program comprehension test and some of them constructed small simple programs. The second part comprises a consideration of various systemeering models. Much attention is paid to participation of users in different systemeering tasks. Also a short post-analysis is made concerning the role of the user. Various degrees of participation are identified.

Addressing a data processing audience with an article explaining executive recruiting/search is analogous to the problem of explaining the unexplainable three-hour lunch. You have to be intrepid, creative, and witty; all while being under intense time pressure.

Business organizations control the information systems development process through three mechanisms - steering committees, project leaders and user representatives. These roles serve to guide an experiential approach to the education of MBA students. Computer technology has had a major effect on the way people work. It has changed the economics of paperwork, the nature of the data flow in organizations, and the relationships between people on the job. This impact is also recognized in College and University curricula. Elements of computer literacy are required in almost all schools of business. These courses usually require the student to learn a programming language such as Basic or Fortran. But knowledge of one programming language is not sufficient to prepare people for successful roles in an increasingly computerized environment. They need familiarity with these roles prior to entry to the organization. Organizations have evolved strategies for allocating and controlling the computer resource. Since universities intend to prepare students for this technical world, it is necessary to look at these processes. These organizational processes can serve to guide instructors in the classroom setting. In the next few paragraphs, we will explain the organizational setting. Then the various roles are described. Finally, we place it within the framework of a MIS course and discuss the parallels between a course and an organization.

For each individual there are work environments that more or less match the person's personality where a "match" is viewed as expressing itself in high job performance and high job satisfaction. This tends to be particularly true for job situations that emphasize interpersonal interaction.
