Abstract

This paper is intended for general managers and those concerned with teaching information management. It gives the principal findings of a study to investigate why managers do, or do not, adopt modern Information Technology and Systems (IT/IS). The study was sponsored by IBM (UK) Ltd, and was conducted from 1986 to 1988 in the UK at Henley - The Management College. The findings are presented in four main areas: individual attitudes to IT/IS; group attitudes to IT/IS; the impact of IT/IS on management education; and the future of information management. Conclusions are drawn, relevant to general management.
