Comment: Computer-Based Decision Systems and Canadian Management

We interviewed 65 senior executives in 42 organizations and asked them about their use of computers in decision making and found that: 1. In the 42 organizations studied, none had a functioning, fully integrated Corporate Decision-Information System. 2. With the exception of budget preparation, little use is being made of the computer for strategic planning purposes in Canada. 3. The computer appears to be used mostly to help lower and middle levels of management but has not found much use in the mahogany-panelled offices in the executive suite.
