Series: Financial JournalPublication details: Nairobi The Standard Group Tuesday, June 2, 2009Description: p.17 [The Financial Journal] The Standard, June 2, 2009Subject(s): Summary: There is a tendencyof those who work with computerized systems to become dissociated technologically and bureaucratically from those who work on material and product flows. More computers per se cannot lead to better performance and more rapid economic growth despite our dreams. Abuse of comptues and other ICT faciliteis is bound to undermine our envisaged growth and development. Unless we judiciously blend the conventional entrepreneural management practice with probity and the speed of ICT systems, there are boudn to be gaps between promise and perfomance in our indsutries, government and educational institutions despite increased use of ICT. manager's planning and control decisions are increasingly relying on empirical data processed by computers and much less on human judgments. the track is to clearly determine where planning ends and corporate accounting starts and assign the roles appropriately.
