Abstract
In this article written in 1958, the authors consider the predictable effects of the then recent introduction of computing in US companies. They forecast a revolutionary reorganization of management comparable to that generated at the beginning of the century by the scientific organization of labour, including: Taylorization of the jobs of many middle-managers, with a stronger boundary between design and execution, the entry of new specialists and researchers at the top of the corporate ladder, greater rotation and mobility of senior managers, collégial decision making at that level and, last but not least, recentralization of major industrial organizations after the reverse tendency linked to the participative management trend.
