According to Infosystems, "If you're cautious of 'experts' who claim to have all the answers, then you'll find comfort in the theme of 'unleashed creativity' that recurs throughout the 20 essays presented in this book....Organizations will have to devise a strategy for understanding how [a microcomputer's] performance can be monitored. Regardless of what may happen, this book provides managers with appropriate ammunition."

Download or read book Managing Microcomputer Applications written by Richard M. Males and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report has a dual purpose. First, the report is a primer for managers to help them understand the potential impacts of the microcomputer on organization and staff productivity. The most common types of microcomputer software are described and basic types of applications developed by planners are discussed. Second, the report is a guide for managers faced with managing the use of microcomputers and the development of applications by their staff and others. A process for managing the development of 'corporate' applications is presented. The report is directed at a 'non-computer professional' audience, i.e. managers within the Corps who have a technical background, but may not be microcomputer users themselves, and have as part of their responsibility the management of individuals and/or projects in which microcomputers are used. The report is designed primarily to raise awareness of the need for, and the methods of, management of microcomputer applications. Outline formats are often used, and key ideas are highlighted. It is hoped that this format will communicate the key concepts better than a more traditional report. Keywords: Managing microcomputers, Organizational & user needs, Potential problems with microcomputers, End user computing & Applications.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metrics and Techniques to Measure Microcomputer Productivity The role of information processing has changed with the introduction of the microcomputer into the workplace. The microcomputer has become a tool that often enables the user to directly control information processing-needs without the assistance of the professional adp staff. The relative 'low cost of microcomputers, their adaptability to various applications, and the availability of software which is useful to non - computer professionals has resulted in the proliferation and use of microcomputers in the office environment. While there is general agreement that microcomputers do increase office productivity, there is little hard, quantifiable data to actually support this claim. Many companies have published reports of substantial improvements to productivity, but few have attempted to actually measure the changes, and fewer still have achieved any reliable measurements By and large, the published reports have drawn the conclusion of productivity gains based on the perception of the managers and workers in the affected office environments. The use of microcomputers by professional and clerical staffs overlap but are functionally different. The clerical staff primarily utilizes word processing which can be measured at the individual level (e.g. Number of words in within a specific period). It appears, however, that the primary benefits to the professional staff are not in speeding up the information flow, but in improving the depth of analysis and understanding of the available information. Therefore, professional staff productivity should be measured in terms of the information handled and processed. Through spread sheet analysis and accounting and financial systems, the professional can better understand the significance of theinformation and thus, can make more informed decisions which result in improved performance of the entire organization.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Trends in American productivity are examined; and their causes, effects, and management are discussed.
