CIDS - AUSTRALIA INTELLIGENT FUTURE

The art of good management is to make the right decisions quickly and in the right order.

The difficult task of translating managerial art into the inflexible logic of computers has been taken on by one of the Melbourne-based Co-operative Research Centres. As its director Micheal Georgeff explains, the rewards for the increased efficiency can be considerable. They could even make Mascot's new runway redundant.
