Abstract
A theory of information center (IC) formation and evolution based on concepts from agency theory is presented. In the theory, information centers are agents of the management information systems (MIS) department and are formed to help MIS control and direction of end-user computing, particularly the selection of end-user technology. The theory explains important aspects of the management of ICs and interprets the future of ICs in terms of their waning usefulness as a control mechanism for the MIS Department.ETX
