- Here is an overview of the series of four programs mentioned above.
- This is a set designed for management and supervisors, but with the
- exception of "EVALUE.BAS", all can be extremely helpful for anyone
- in both their personal and business lives.
-
- These programs were originally written on my IBM PC and the basic
- code used is HIGHLY TRANSPORTABLE. I have these four programs
- running on a Commodore C-64, a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100, a
- DEC Mainframe and of course on the PC. The code from line #100 on is
- almost identical for every machine using what I call "Basic/Basic."
- The "LOCATE" and color commands on the PC have to be removed.
- Only the "clear screen" and printer commands need be changed for
- any of the above machines...and the "Random generator" in some
- cases. I feel certain that with only MINOR modifications these
- programs would run on any computer that runs BASIC.
-
- I have been in management for 22 years and a Management Seminar
- Instructor for 8 years. What follows in these four programs is a
- computerized summary of four of the most important areas(the ones
- with the most problems) for supervisors. My experience has been that
- as a manager improves in these four areas, either one at a time or
- all at once, he will be far more EFFECTIVE in what he gets done.
-
- These programs should not be run once and put away. To get full value
- of the material contained within each, you should make a yearly
- planning calendar and go through each one at least quarterly. Also,
- the hard-copy that each produces can and should be referred to even
- more frequently.
-
- My department heads find these programs useful and beneficial....I hope
- you will too.
