The Washington attorney Peter Huber, whose books include the novel
"Orwell's Revenge," says that the trend to ward management by
e-mail has a quite un-Orwellian effect: Instead of creating a Big Brother-type
invasion of privacy, privacy is actually protected, since the computer's
absence of memory gaps amounts to almost-perfect protection against the
snoop, and "electronic files can be locked up far more securely than
paper ones." The trend also works to create perfect accountability:
"How many scribbled notes did you write last year, and what did they
say? ... You probably couldn't begin to guess... But if your office uses
computers at all seriously, your e-mail records are immacula te, even if
you wish they
weren't." (Peter Huber, "The Computer Doesn't Forget,"

Michael Berube at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign thinks
that criticism of American higher education has reached a fever pitch,
leaving academicians stunned by "the hostility, tendentiousness, and
outright weirdness of some of the questions put to us in the first half
of the 1990s." Part of the public's resentment comes from what i t
takes to be
academia's "political correctness"; another part is rooted
in middle-class concerns that money spent on high er education may no longer
"pay off" in social mobility terms; another cause of resentment
is the idea of ten ure, which is foreign to most American workers. But
the larger trend is a kind of violent ambivalence about professiona lism
in general: "The same cultural
climate that breeds distrust of tenured faculty as professionals also
breeds distrust of professional politicians, lawy ers, and journalists"
-- professionals who "shroud themselves behind mysterious organizational
affiliations an d incomprehensible technical jargon" and are "arrogant,
exclusive, self-serving, money-grubbing careerists. " (Michael Berube,
"Public Perceptions Of Universities And Faculty," Academe Jul/Aug
96 p10)

Management philosopher Peter Drucker speaks approvingly of the new
pastoral churches as a vehicle for a way to use chur chgoers' talents.
Whereas past generations tended to go to church out of heritage, habit,
or social status, "now i t is an act of commitment, and therefore
meaningful. It is no longer an act of conformity, and therefore meaningless.
People need community, yes, and they need a spiritual identity, yes, but
they also need responsibility. They need the f eeling that they contribute."
Writer Charles Trueheart suggests that the increasing trend toward "mega-church
es" is made possible by the genius of church managers in developing
a small-group system (echoing the large Chicago bank that advertised itself
as
"the big bank with the little bank inside"). The genius manifests
itself in the ability to identify the "gifts" of people in order
to fit them into various church ministries -- including even such gifts
as the car- repair ministry, which helps needy people fix their cars. "What
brings people to their gift of service is a desire to do something that
-- perhaps unlike
their day job, perhaps unlike their evenings -- matters." Question:
Would it be all that difficult to give them s omething meaningful to do
in their day job? (Charles Trueheart, "Welcome To The Next Church,"
Atlantic Month ly Aug 96 p37)

While the Army for years has been training specialists such as tank
commanders and helicopter pilots on simulators, it is now experimenting
with computer simulation training for common foot soldiers, giving them
a virtual view of the confu sion, noise and shock of battle without the
cost and danger of live-fire exercises. "For a long time, the dismount
ed infantryman was left out of the virtual battlefield because of the cost
of creating a simulated environment," sa ys the officer who oversees
such training in Orlando, Fla. Today, "technological advances have
made it cost-effect ive to develop this technology." The trainee dons
a virtual reality helmet, in which tiny screens display images o f a battlefield.
The user "walks" the designated area using a stair stepper-type
device, which adjusts automa tically for up- and down-hill hiking. The
user carries a gun to use at any target that pops up, and the bullet's
impact is shown as a hit is scored. The move toward virtual training is
sparked by two trends - higher costs for live artille ry training ($100
an hour per soldier) and a new
generation of small arms under development, for which the Army may
not be able to afford conventional training. " If we don't plan alternative
methods of training, our field equipment will be too expensive to operate
in the year 2000, " says the chief of simulation training at Fort
Benning, Ga. Still, some skeptics say the virtual experience can ne ver
prepare someone
for the real thing. "It's easy to simulate driving tanks and Bradley
armored carriers. But when you're talking a bout the individual soldier,
who has to walk, crawl and interact with the terrain, that's a pretty tough
challenge, " says one simulator developer. (Washington Post 7 Aug
96 F1)

Harvard Business School professor John Sviokla says that managers need
to get over the idea that there is one best way to implement a new technology.
Very different processes may theoretically have equivalent outcomes, and
the manager's jo b is "to think broadly about options" and choose
the option that makes the most sense at such-and-such a time and such-and-such
a place. Furthermore, a manager needs to look at each option in all its
dimensions, visualizing not ju st what is to be done but who could do it,
what might be expected, and how that plan could be implemented. "The
mo re successful managers," says Sviokla, "seemed better at sensing
these complexities and assembling the right c onstellation of people and
resources." And yet it's more than a question of people and resources.
As usual, timin g is everything, because "in implementations with
radical organizational implications, the issue of momentum takes on even
more significance because training and local management support has a half-life,
and the novelty of a new tool s oon wanes." So get on with it. Start
your invasion. And make it swift and massive. (John J. Sviokla, "Know
ledge Workers And Radically New Technology," Sloan Management Review
Summer 1996 p25)

With regard to information systems and services, the conventional wisdom
is that organizations should consider outsourc ing those activities that
are akin to commodities but should always retain those that are "strategic"
to the o rganization. But words of wisdom are sometimes just words -- and
the real question is not whether an activity is " strategic"
but who can do it best -- for "in many companies, outsourcing often
regarded as the means by
which companies can realize the strategic potential of information
technology, something they have been unable to reali ze through in-house
information technology departments." Any stereotyped thinking is a
mistake, and it's a mistake to make decisions based on such labels as "strategic"
or "control" rather than on facts of competen ce, creativity,
and actual performance. (Vijay Gurbaxani, "Technology Outsourcing,"
Communications of the ACM Jul 1996 p45)

Like Zen archers, managers need to learn not to try too hard. Much
of an organization's ability to learn comes from gr oups that have no box
on an organization chart, no agenda, deadlines, or accountability -- self-organizing,
informal, eg alitarian "communities of practice" that form spontaneously
when people are doing the same job. You'll keep them if to try to formalize
them, by establishing bureaucratic meetings to "get everyone up to
speed." But yo u'll expand their usefulness to the organization if
you create conditions that will give rise to NEW communities of prac tice
to tackle unsolved problems. You can do this by bringing people together
from different parts of the organization. In one case, an organizational
consultant (an anthropologist) "found that different departments involved
in the p rocess never communicated informally, didn't understand one another's
roles and needs or solve problems together." But when the workers
were put together in the same room, new informal groups
developed around various tasks, leading to a full-fledged community
of practice that generated a steady stream of probl em-solving ideas. (Thomas
A. Stewart, "The Invisible Key To Success," Fortune 5 Aug 96
p173)

Companies with pressing problems, especially those that involve financial
operations, are finding that expert systems s oftware often can perform
functions better, faster and cheaper than their human consultant counterparts.
Doing audits, screening transactions, granting credit and ferreting out
fraud all are functions that can be accomplished very satisfac torily using
expert systems. "If you understand the problem you want to solve,
you can get the answer quickly usin g expert systems," says Allen
Wolpert, a managing partner with Andersen Consulting. But if you don't
know what you 're doing, "you can spend a lot of time and money and
never get the right answer," he warns. Three types of e xpert systems
are available: rule-based, case-based and neural networks. Rule-based systems
are the most common, and c ome in handy when dealing with probabilities
and making predictions based on different scenarios. Case-based systems
re ly on experience, and are good for precedent-based reasoning. Neural
networks work using pattern recognition - "Af ter you `feed them'
for a month, they come up with their own conclusions," says Wolpert,
who suggests that to use e xpert systems successfully, you need to know
what the problem is you're trying to solve; know the relevant expert system
's rules; have a large body of data with known outcomes; and have confidence
in the system borne out of extensive testin g. Wolpert recommends running
the software on a separate, dedicated server, sort of as an "expert
in the corner, " available at all times. (Investor's Business Daily

A patent-pending technology created by Nova Scotia-based Info InterActive
enables online users to screen calls that com e in while they're processing
e-mail or surfing the Web. The Internet Call Manager is targeted at people
who share a ph one line for voice and data purposes, and don't want to
bother with a second line. The technology displays the number o f an incoming
call and allows the user to either take the call, forward it elsewhere,
or send
it to a voice mailbox. No extra hardware or software is necessary,
and the service must be ordered from the user's Int ernet service provider
or a phone company that licenses the technology. (Interactive Age Digital

While video games to date have focused on virtual violence - shooting,
exploding and otherwise obliterating a wide asso rtment of enemy or alien
opponents - now the industry is looking at games that provide a more soothing
experience. Aqua naut Holiday, designed for the Sony PlayStation by Japan-based
Artdink, plays a relaxing, New Age soundtrack while playe rs navigate a
submarine through an underwater marine canyon. The game, last year's top
selling PlayStation title in Jap an, features sunken ships, ancient ruins
and treasures scattered across the virtual sea floor and more than 100
species of fish that float by. More advanced players can build reefs and
design an underwater language to attract sea creatures .

An agricultural robot known as Demeter, developed by Carnegie Mellon
University's NASA Robotics Engineering Consortium for New Holland North
America Inc., is heading out to California to take the blood, sweat and
toil out of harvesting alf alfa. Demeter is designed to cruise along, driverless,
at 10 mph, 6 mph faster than a harvester powered by a skilled fa rmer.
And unlike a human operator, Demeter can work night and day without tiring.
The
device uses artificial vision to follow rows, while monitoring its
location with the help of global-positioning satelli tes. New Holland plans
to market a $5,000 retrofit that improves the yields of conventional harvesters
next year, and t hen hopes to introduce a fully robotic version in a couple
of years. (Business Week 12 Aug 96 p83)
