Publisher's Synopsis
It is obvious that top managers should exploit computer possibilities to best advantage but sometimes this is not done and the reasons for this failure are unclear.;This book focuses on the use by senior managers of computer-based facilities. Management behaviour is explored in the context of the growing impact of Information Technology (with particular attention to the key management concern for decision support facilities). Case study material is presented for the private and public sectors, and conclusions are drawn. One possibility is that increasingly intelligent software will make it increasingly easy for managers to work with computer-based systems.;Topics covered include: computer-based decision support; background to the case studies; managers in the private sector; managers in the public sector; understanding computer adoption.
