Abstract
The computer is an extremely valuable tool in strategic planning. But that is all it is—a tool. To borrow a phrase from Peter Drucker, it can make a planner's arm longer. The planner should view the computer as his slave—a sophisticated (and increasingly low‐cost) slave, but still a slave. The planner who finds himself the computer's slave is in deep trouble.
