Abstract
The proliferation of microcomputer systems within Naval
Aviation organizations in this decade has forced managers to
rethink the role of information production. This thesis
addresses the interaction of the organization process on
information production, which Navy managers must be aware
of in order to perform their job. The role of information
management is examined to allow management to use existing
microcomputer information systems capabilities more
effectively. Discussion includes the impact of
microcomputer systems on the flow of information, and
microcomputer assistance to management in planning, problem
solving, and decision making. Research findings indicate
that management of microcomputers has increased the actual
time and cost of information flow within organization
units. Security of classified materials processed on
microcomputers and training of user skills are deficient. Organizations need to incorporate a specialized computer
manager.
