An investigation into the recruitment and training of the disadvantaged for staffing the MIS function

An investigation into the recruitment and training of the disadvantaged for staffing the MIS... The purpose and intent of this paper is to investigate and explore the staffing of operative level management information systems (MIS) functions with the disadvantaged. This intent is focused around two principle targets: the MIS functions and the disadvantaged. The primary reason for focusing on the disadvantaged (which will be defined at a later point) is that the months following the periods from Summer, 1964 - Summer, 1967, in which this country experienced its gravest civil disorders in modern times, found the business world scurrying in efforts to initiate training programs and offer employment opportunities for a segment of society which has traditionally known either unemployment or underemployment. In a "last ditch effort to save the country," the public and private sectors of our economy set out to alleviate some of the frustrations and conditions which had generated an indelible scar on their records as socially responsible institutions. In short, jobs and employment opportunities were being offered to the disadvantaged as a step toward curing social ills. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM SIGCPR Computer Personnel Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

The purpose and intent of this paper is to investigate and explore the staffing of operative level management information systems (MIS) functions with the disadvantaged. This intent is focused around two principle targets: the MIS functions and the disadvantaged. The primary reason for focusing on the disadvantaged (which will be defined at a later point) is that the months following the periods from Summer, 1964 - Summer, 1967, in which this country experienced its gravest civil disorders in modern times, found the business world scurrying in efforts to initiate training programs and offer employment opportunities for a segment of society which has traditionally known either unemployment or underemployment. In a "last ditch effort to save the country," the public and private sectors of our economy set out to alleviate some of the frustrations and conditions which had generated an indelible scar on their records as socially responsible institutions. In short, jobs and employment opportunities were being offered to the disadvantaged as a step toward curing social ills.
