Title

Abstract
There is some evidence to suggest that investment in information technology (IT) is nothing more than an expensive black-hole for cash. Sets out the reasons why investment in IT is no guarantee of business success. Offers suggestions as to how to redress the balance between technology and cost-effectiveness such as obtaining a specifically trained information manager who understands business and corporate objectives as well as the underlying technological principles. Also emphasizes the need for a new flexible soft systems approach to the development of information systems and for computer-literate staff to man them
