Synopsis
How computers change the way organizations work, from the past to the coming era. This book surveys how the computer’s growing role touches work flow, management, and social issues. It argues that new kinds of organization can emerge when programs and people work together, and when information moves more quickly through a system.
The discussion centers on real-time systems, from military to commercial use, and how memory, data flow, and decision making are reshaped. It outlines how early business computing evolved into complex, interactive environments where the computer acts as a central, coordinating force.
- How specialization and computer programs mirror and augment management and labor.
- Examples of real-time systems like SAGE, SABRE, and Project MAC, and what they teach about timing and control.
- The idea of automated memory: faster access to information and better decision support for managers.
- The potential for a joined future where programs and people form one evolving organization.
Ideal for readers seeking a clear look at how computers influence organizational design, strategy, and planning.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the introduction and profound impact of digital computers on businesses, governments, and society. It traces the evolution of computing, from its humble origins in data processing to its central role in the automation of tasks and the streamlining of information flow. The author examines how the computer, once seen as a threat to human labor, has become an indispensable tool that enhances productivity and enables ever more complex endeavors. Delving into the history of mechanization, the book draws parallels between the division of labor in human organizations and the increasing specialization within computing systems. It discusses the emergence of real-time systems, in which computers interact directly with external processes, and the transformative power of time-sharing systems, which allow multiple users to access the computer simultaneously. The book also explores the future of information systems, envisioning a convergence between human and machine capabilities, where computers assist in decision-making and problem-solving, while humans provide judgment and intuition. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding the psychological and organizational factors that influence the adoption and effective use of computers. It argues that by embracing the transformative potential of computing, organizations and individuals can unlock new possibilities for efficiency, innovation, and human progress.
