Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Role of the Executive in the New Computer Era
We are now in the early stages of the third era of computer utilization. This new era is not a mild evolution from its predecessors.

Information systems people are, in general, poorly equipped to meet the new technological challenges, and, finally, the new era demands many new corporate policies which must be set at the highest level.
