User/system interface within the context of an integrated corporate data base

Published: 06 May 1974 Publication History

Abstract

The world to come may be viewed as demanding the making of more decisions per unit time, the taking into account of more variables per decision, and the greater commitment of resources per decision.... At the same time that the environment is pressing for faster decisions, new esoteric technologies are demanding longer planning cycles, earlier and higher commitments of resources, and better integration and coordination of a greater number of interacting elements that make up new systems.
