- Abstract:
With the decrease in cost and increase in capability of computer systems, many companies are going through or considering going through the process of implementing in‐house computer applications. A case study of Story Construction Company traces the evolution from manual operations in the late 1960's to the current complete in‐house computer operation. Some of the ways this transition has affected company employees from clerical to top‐level management are considered. Finally, observations and conclusions are made about the impacts of computerizing company operations. The process of implementing company‐wide computer operations is not without pitfalls, expenses, and difficulties, but the gain is well worth the difficulties.
