Overview
This text explores the key issues relating to the widespread application of computers in business today. In particular, it analyzes the increasing trend to downsize computer systems, together with the potential hazards of working with computer technology. Part 1 concentrates on personal software, hardware and communications. Part 2 addresses the wider social, managerial, strategic and ergonomic issues in the modern workplace. Also included are "hands-on" exercises for readers wishing to become familiar with the operation of Lotus 1-2-3 and compatible spreadsheets, as well as an extensive glossary of business computer technology.This work aims to provide a non-technical pathway through the ever-expanding domain of business computing, distinguishing between what managers need to know and what is unnecessary for them to know. The book therefore serves both as a core text for students on introductory business computing courses and as a concise reference source for practising managers confronted with computer technology. A lecturer's supplement and disk are available.
