Abstract
Company organisation, structures of command and decisionmaking, and cultural attitudes vary widely from one organisation to another, but the majority have one factor in common: a structure which is poorly adapted to take advantage of today’s technology, let alone the automated office. Until now, office technology has been the concern of the specialist, and very few companies have appreciated, at corporate management level, the full extent to which office automation can affect the overall future success of the enterprise.
