Khosrowpour, Mehdi; Amoroso, Donald
With the realization that microcomputers provide an extraordinary value to the organization follows the need to address a variety of issues in order to more effectively manage these resources. Each of the 14 chapters, consisting of papers written by different authors, represents a different perspective existing in organizations with respect to the microcomputer resource. The chapters are organized into six categories: (1) microcomputer technology as a strategic resource; (2) managing microcomputer technology; (3) microcomputer technology and end users; (4) artificial intelligence and microcomputer technology; (5) microcomputer security and protection; and (6) microcomputer education and training. The titles include: "Managing the Use of Microcomputers as a Strategic Tool" (Larry Oliva and others); "Mapping the Corporate Microcomputer Strategy" (Lawrence Oliva); "A Methodology for Microcomputer Planning and Development" (Darold Klauk); "Critical Success Factors in the Integration of Microcomputer Technology into Expanding Organizations: Five Case Studies" (Elia Chepaitis); "Managing the Introduction of Information Systems Technology: The Case of Desktop Publishing as an Organization-Wide Resource" (Wallace A.
