FÉLAGSFUNDUR
Skýrslutæknifélagið boðar til félagsfundar
í Hátióarsal Háskóla Islands, fimmtudaginn
11. mars 1982, kl. 13.30.
Á fundinum mun Philip H. Dorn, hinn kunni
bandariski tölvusérfræðingur, dálkahöfundur
og fyrirlesari, flytja erindi er hann nefnir:
An EDP Manager's Guide to Survival.
Sjálfur segir Philip H. Dorn um þetta erindi sitt:
"A discussion aimed at the EDP Manager in this era of
growing decentralization and dispersion of the "power"
of the EDP Manager as end users increasingly buy their
own hardware, install own micro-computers, buy programs,
eíc. I have outlined an interesting "don't fight but
join them" approach. EDP Managers seem to enjoy being
told the truth."
