Thirty years ago, computers seemed more science fiction than business fact. Today we have e-commerce, e-marketing, computerized scheduling, manufacturing, and a whole new field called information technology. Computers now have applications for every facet of your business. Information Systems and Technology for the Non-Information Systems Executive explores the practical and efficient use of computer technology-both software and hardware-for all types of business applications. In a simple and reader friendly style Shim presents information on data bases, networking, and telecommunications. He explains popular accounting, tax, finance, management, manufacturing, and marketing software-making them easy to understand and use. In addition, he provides real-life examples that illustrate the applications of decision support systems, executive information systems, and artificial intelligence systems such as financial modeling, budgeting, strategic planning and control, forecasting, data analysis, inventory planning, and optimization software. You do not need to know programming to understand your information systems. Written for business managers and entrepreneurs who may not have extensive computer experience, Information Systems and Technology for the Non-Information Systems Executive: An Integrated Resource Management Guide for the 21st Century covers information systems in all phases and functional areas of business to help you make the best decisions. It provides a wealth of current and essential information for managers and executives of all types of organizations. Your success depends on keeping abreast of the latest applications and thinking in information technology. This book gives you the competitive edge.

The Computer Resource Management Technology Program (PE 64740F) is the sole Air Force engineering development program to focus on the problems associated with the acquisition, development, and support of computer resources within mission critical Air Force weapon systems. Engineering development is the final development and test of an operationally, technically, and economically desirable product. Mission critical systems are the airborne; spaceborne; command, control, communications and intelligence; and armament systems directly involved in the planning and execution of military missions. As the primary Air Force vehicle for transitioning the computer technology of advanced development work accomplished in industry, universities, and laboratories, the program's five continuing projects target the development and initial application of products which reduce software life cycle cost, enhance acquisition management control, and improve the quality and security of weapon system software.

This report summarizes the findings of a study of policy and organizational aspects of the management of Air Force computer resources. Because computer technology is relatively recent and very fast-changing, the Air Force, like many other organizations, is experiencing difficulties in managing its computer resources. This report presents an illustrative system development life cycle, which depicts an orderly process for development. Five organizational and policy actions are recommended to improve the Air Force's management of its computer resources: (1) establish an Assistant Chief of Staff for Computer Resource Management; (2) develop all computer systems through a development channel in the DCS/Research and DEvelopment and Air Force Systems Command; (3) create a Data System Division within AFSC; (4) give each of the AFSC product divisions its own Center of Expertise; (5) strengthen and enlarge the role of the Single Manager in all commands involved in computer system design and development.

This report is about data in our society. It first discusses values, how people feel about using data. It then discusses how man has used the technology that is available as tools in handling data, and how data handling has changed as technology changes. Information resource management is now changing very rapidly as new technology becomes available. The report argues that the complex programs we call data base management systems (DBMS) are an artifact of monolithic computers with hierarchies of secondary storage managed by complex general purpose operating systems. The next step will take the DBMS apart, distributing the data management functions to provide the same capabilities with less constraints. The report concludes with a discussion of theory regarding computer based data management. It covers the intellectual ferment following the introduction of random access secondary storage, the development of CODASYL, and the relational model. It briefly discusses the familiar arguments regarding the need to separate logical data definition from the physical location of data, stressing different representational requirements. The report concludes with the author's view of what is needed to form an adequate foundation for information resource management system development. (Author).
