The information either reached managers too late or was too expensive to be used. Today, managers are facing a wide range dataprocessing and information instruments. In place of a few financial controls, managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company. On any kinds of performance measures, the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results, find out problems, and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies. Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales, billing, and other activities. In large companies, electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.Now, there are about 24 million microcomputers in use in the United States—one for every 10 citizens. It is estimated that by 1996, 61 percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station. In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate, they need to understand how computers work. However, in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers. Rather, managers should understand how computerized information systems work; how they are developed; their limitations and costs; and the manner in which information systems may be used. Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.One research found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates.1. Why couldn’t managers make full use of valuable information about acompany’s activities, before the widespread use of computers?a.Because it often took them a lot of time to get it.b.Because they had to spend a lot of money buying it.c.Because it didn’t reach them in time.d.Either b or c.2.

Different Teaching MethodsRecreation can be divided into three main kinds. These are those activities that require you to use the body and often involve hard physical activity. Then there are the pursuits that use the mind and do not require much physical exercise. Lastly there is entertainment when people sit back and watch something happening and usually don’t need to use the mind or the body very much at all, but simply enjoy what is going on in front, or around them.Skiing is a good example of a hard physical activity. However, you do need snow and most people prefer to ski in mountains, although you can do flat cross country skiing. You also need the right equipment and clothing which is usually quite expensive. Then you have to travel to find good snow and mountains, but nowadays there are good skiing resorts in various parks of the world.Reading for pleasure and chess are examples of pursuits using the mind. Reading is something you do on your own of course, whereas chess is a game that you play against someone and have to use your mind to win.Going to the theatre or cinema, or watching TV are the most common forms of entertainment. Certainly people use their minds while they think about the things they watch in front of them, but they watch them for their own pleasure, interest and enjoyment. Basically, recreation is all about pleasure and interest in something that you choose to do and is not a formal education of work activity.11.
