Abstract

The article presents a study that examines the impact of computers, particularly management information systems, on managerial decision making. According to the results of the study, computer users with a high level of experience are less likely to be influenced by information that is computer generated than they are by information that is presented in mimeograph form. Inexperienced users are more influenced by information generated by computers than by information presented in the form of a mimeograph.
