Description: Although there are numerous problems associated with the management of Federal      information systems, the usual solutions proposed for these problems have had and will      have little, if any, effects. This paper examines the characteristics of Federal information      systems and shows that most proposed solutions are directed at symptoms of the      problems and not at their underlying causes. These solutions do not reflect the public      sector nature of Federal information systems and hence, are either unrealistic or      ineffectual. The authors do not propose another panacea.
