].[X],181p. Orig. cloth with clipped jacket with loss of one word, minor tear (1,5 cm) at top. First edition. A pioneering work on automation and the possibilities, limitations and social and economic consequences of the revolutionary new machines of the electronic age and what they will mean in terms of jobs, cost of goods and services, standards of living and increased leisure time'. It was Diebold's first book, based on his studies at the Harvard Business School. Owing to independent research and ever-persistent curiosity about the whole field of technology, he originated many of the concepts of data processing and utilization that are accepted today in both automation and management. This book was reissued unchanged on its 30th anniversary as a "management classic" by the American Management Association. He is credited with coining the word automation in its present meaning, and had much to do with introducing it to general usage.'.
