Managing information technology

Michael G. Ryan and Susan L. Baldwin

Telecommunications Policy, 1981, vol. 5, issue 2, 154-156

Abstract: Information technology refers to the information acquisition, processing, storage, retrieval and transmission equipment made possible by the convergence of computer and communications technologies. The current predilection for office automation has been generated by this merger. The manager currently uses early generations of information technology to accomplish his or her objectives. However, the rate of technological change made possible by new developments in computers and telecommunications presents the manager with the challenge of managing information technology rather than being managed by information technology.
