Abstract

The development of In-House Graphics capability is becoming a key function of Business and Management and in some instances in-house publishing becomes a feasible complement or extension. Based on case studies, the author suggests an integration of Graphic Designer with Business and Management for efficient computerized visual communication.

Being wasteful of resources, both human and machine, is a reason why office Automation, in many instances, has not succeeded.
