No mathematical or data processing background is required or assumed; no specific computer make or model is featured. The book may be used without access to a computer. The objectives of this text are a) provide a general orientation to the computer-what it is, what it can and cannot do, and how it operates-and b) to provide insight into the broad impact that computers have had, are having, and may be expected to have on business organizations and people. The emphasis is on business; to this end, the techniques and examples in each chapter are related to business operations and procedures." ER -
