These problems associated with productivity in end-user computing environments including their causes and organizational impacts are surveyed and controls are recommended to overcome the problems and thereby enhance productivity.
Abstract
Finding a proper balance between productivity and control is critical for maintaining an effective end-user computing environment. This paper surveys problems associated with productivity in end-user computing environments including their causes and organizational impacts. Controls are recommended to overcome the problems and thereby enhance productivity.
