Abstract
The purpose of my talk today is to tell you about an important and unique methodology being developed by Wang Laboratories. Referred to as the Wang Human Factors Programme, it is designed to assist multi-national organisations with managing the planning, implemention, and evaluation of office automation technology. The purpose of the Programme is to help these organisations to successfully integrate office automation technology into the coporate work flow and culture.
“For you see, ladies and gentlemen, and, above all, your Imperial Majesty, with a real Nightingale one can never calculate what is coming, but in this artificial bird, everything is settled. It is this way, and no other! One can explain it; one can open it and show how it’s almost human; show where the records are, and how they play and how one things depends on another—!”
Hans Christian Andersen “The Emperor’s Nightingale” Odense, Denmark, 1835
