Abstract

The milieu of the analyst in the world today and even more so in the post-industrial society of the near future will be characterized as one of great complexity. Accelerating demands will be placed on the analyst as he tries to understand and solve the problems of the various systems with which he is associated. This is especially true for analysts associated with computer-based systems. Rapid technological advancements in hardware and software, increasing interrelatedness among functional areas requiring more encompassing systems, increasing educational levels of managers able to use more sophisticated decision-making techniques, etc. all lead to requiring increasingly complex, but more adequate, information systems.
