In 1985 it was 20 years since Nobel Laureate Herbert A. Simon
published: 'THE SHAPE OF AUTOMATION: For Men and Management'. This
short but important and still topical book dwells on three
subjects: - The Long-Range Economic Effects of Automation; - Will
the Corporation be Managed by Machines? - The New Science of
Management Decision. In contrast with George Orwell, who was a
critic of contemporary political systems rather than a prophet,
Simon portrays a far more rosy picture of our 'brave new world'.
Simon's work breathes optimism. First, computer technology; looking
back it is aoubtful whether even the professor expected the
hardware development ~e have wittnessed. Secondly, our ability to
'tame the beast'; there is now not much reason for complacency and
satisfaction. Offices and factories can by no means be called
automated, at most semi-automated. Thirdly the organizational and
social implications of these rapid technological developments;
referring to what he then called: 'The Computer and the new
decision making techniques ..* ' Concerning this last point, there
is little need to emphasize that had been less practical
application in organizations than the often impressive theoretical
developments would lead one to believe. In Europe this situation is
even more accute than in the USA and Japan. The ESPRIT programme of
the ECC and many similar national programs intend to bridge the
gap.
