Abstract
To date, little progress has been made toward the establishment
of scientific procedures by which a military manager can evaluate
complex cybernetic systems such as management information systems.
To provide a methodology yielding quantitative results which may
assist a commander and his staff in this analysis, it is proposed thai:
management information systems be evaluated as a whole by a technique
defined as the semantic differential. Each characteristic of the
system evaluated is compared to a standard or reference characteristic
desired in a well designed system and a value is assigned based on
the closeness of the comparison.
