Reader Reviews
This review is from: Management and Information System in Human Services: Implications for the Distribution of Authority and Decision Making (Social Work Practice, Suppl) (Social Work Practice, Suppl) (Paperback) Management and Information Systems In Human Services: Implications for the Distribution of Authority and Decision Making By Richard K. Caputo Ph.D. Caputo's book, published in 1988 is an excellent resource for high level administrators. Although, it is an academic pursuit, Caputo, does a fine job of describing implications for decision making, authority and legitimacy in human service organizations. The application of information systems in organizations are not neutral; they affect the authority structure, decision load and power of the organization. In other words: How are decisions made and information used in your agency? Caputo probes the nature of humans service organizations and discusses how they are different than profit & nonprofit. The differences have a direct bearing on the functions of management and the uses of information within them. Caputo includes footnoted material and an excellen reference list for the dedicated leader in the information age.
