Putting It in Its Place

Synopsis: Many companies use information technology because they think it will help what they are already doing. Looks at the Lucas group which has adopted its own approach. Asks ‘What are we doing and why?' and applies information technology only if the situation demands it. The Lucas Group’s aim is towards organisational simplification and not to the more usual procedure of adding on layers of extra complexity.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
