ABSTRACT

This study reports on a follow-up survey of 31 information systems managers to determine the changes in skills requirements and projected IS manpower needs since 1980. While the original study focused only on the nation's largest organizations, the respondents in this follow-up survey are employed by organizations of varying size most of which are located in the Southeast. Data were gathered via personal interviews and questionnaires.
