Organizational & End-User Information Systems--A Compendium of Resources and Materials.

Regan defined office information systems as a specialized academic area within the domain of information systems (IS). She developed this report through a series of reviews by a Delphi panel of experts. She differentiated office information systems from other IS areas of study and from other fields such as office or administrative management. The entire journal issue was devoted to describing the evolution of office systems and end-user computing as an academic area and how it parallels the development of computer technology. 2.

Abstract: Educators and business and industry representatives developed the OEIS Model Curriculum. The model depicts how [primarily] schools of business can prepare graduates of four-year programs for positions involving the analysis, design, and implementation of end-user information systems often referred to as “office information systems.” Ten courses are included in the model. Each course outline contains a course description, outcomes, approach, content, and resources. Educators and business and industry representatives developed the OEIS Model Curriculum.
