Also, the leaders of enterprises should remember that the information from scholars or workers used I computer programs can often be biased. The second issue concerns management in system development. while the creation of software is the work of an individual, system development as a whole requires cooperation. Therefore, when giving advice individuals, managers should select a setting where the members can easily communicate with each other, to achieve and maintain working partnerships. The third issue concerns the future of the computer industry, which experienced a change due to the appearance of the personal computer, and is now due to meet further changes as a result of the communications revolution.
