Repositioning the information systems management function: Implications for information systems personnel

One of the most major changes in the information systems management arena today is the repositioning of the information systems management function in large organizations. A study of sixty-seven large organizations indicates a repositioning involving a number of dimensions. With these changes, a whole new set of roles and skills for information systems managers are evolving. There is a critical need to examine the challenges stemming from these new roles and skills and provide a framework for the effective management of information systems personnel as we approach the nineties.
