This book investigates the integration of computer-assisted systems into corporate management to improve strategic planning and decision-making processes. James B. Boulden, drawing on his experience in management consulting and systems design, presents a framework for aligning technological capabilities with organizational goals. The text argues that effective implementation requires a synthesis of management theory, quantitative analysis, and clear communication between technical staff and executive leadership.

Experts recognize this work as a foundational text for understanding the early evolution of management information systems in a corporate context. Readers frequently note the practical focus on the human and organizational challenges of implementation rather than purely technical specifications.
