Testing Procedures in the Design of Managment Systems: Some Methodological Reflections.

Abstract

The introduction (or modification) of a management system in an organization is often preceded by an effort to gather data from which it can be evaluated. The data may come from some kind of experiment, a conceptual simulation, or some more informal analysis of relevant past experience. This paper discusses how such alternative testing procedures can themselves be evaluated by paying particular attention to analogous testing paradigms in the more established fields of science and engineering. Decision-aiding systems for naval command control are used as an illustrative case. (Author)
