"Today a company's competitive survival may well hinge on the way in which it manages information—on the sureness with which it maintains control over production, inventory, and other costs and the speed with which it reacts to shifts in demand, moves by competitors, emergency needs of customers, and developments in its own technology. Information processing has now become more than an auxiliary service rendered by office groups to divisional and departmental management— it has become a major preoccupation in every type of business, a function of "top management" concern, vital to the success of an enterprise, permeating every operating and service area. The implications are obvious for public administration and institutional management as well as for private enterprise, for even though the criterion of profit may not be present there, the multiplying demands for services and the mounting complexities of operations call for new dimensions of coordination and control."
