This book is an account, part technical, part sociological and part philosophical, of the computer revolution. After a general survey of the development of computer-controlled data processing, Michael Rose examines the complex effects of the computer upon the clerical worker - the new opportunities, the dangers of alienation, the threat of technological unemployment. He then focuses upon the fast-developing problems of managers. Many of the standard managerial functions can already be programmed. But should executives delegate qualitative decisions to a machine? And if so, how far can and should these changes go? ISBN : 0140210970Publisher : Penguin Books Author : Michael Rose Format : Paperback: 272 Pages This exhibit has a reference ID of CH71262.
