Key figures in the workforce at Testronics, a small micro‐electronics company in the northeastern USA, could be forgiven for viewing the expression “knowledge is power” with a certain irony and skepticism. As part of the emerging class of knowledge workers, sales engineers with Testronics...

Presents an overview of memory chip yield enhancement techniques by injection of fault tolerance. As memory chips are more prone to defects, the yield of good chips from a silicon wafer governs their production cost. As shown, most fault tolerance techniques assume a relatively large area...

Microcomputer systems which are the most relevant to today′s manager are the prime focus. New developments during the last 18 months are given priority. Microprocessors used in recent microcomputer systems in relation to the RISC and CISC technologies are discussed. Networking and...

The monograph analyses (a) the potential impact of information technology (IT) on organisational issues that directly concern the personnel function; (b) the nature of personnel’s involvement in the decision making and activities surrounding the choice and implementation of advanced...
