The Choice between Logic, Technique and Pragmatism in the Organizational Use of Computers.
This article argues that the organizational use of computers lead to the general acceptance of the view that a computer should not be introduced without a detailed study of the best uses to which it may be put in the particular organization concerned.

Acceptance of that view has led to the employment of specialists whose essential function is the creation of new organizational policies and procedures as solutions to the problem of the best organizational use of computers. If these new creations are based on old organizational policies and procedures they are likely to be sub-optimal and probably uneconomic. The generalization that can most safely be made from the basis of practical experience, is that the economical use of computers is usually associated with a detailed study within the particular organization of the best uses to which a computer may be put. Recognition of this situation has led firms to employ persons whose duties are usually described as systems analysis. The problem of choice between the three approaches for using computers does not arise in some situations. Those persons who want to be widely read in the subject of the organizational use of computers, or are designing a syllabus for a course on the organizational use of computers will not confine their understanding of the use of computers to any one of the approaches. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Abacus is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
