Abstract

Current projections are that the demands for IS workers in the U.S. are on the verge of exceeding the supply, and IS managers are reporting increased concerns for the recruitment and retention of IT staff. The authors argue that industry and universities need to take actions today to address the projected shortfalls, and offer some guidelines for recruiting and retaining IT professionals.
