Study Of The Barriers To The Implementation Of Computerised Information Systems In The National Health Service, Gloria Lankshear

Plymouth Business School Theses

In order for computerised information systems (CIS) to be utilised to their full potential they must first be successfully implemented. The acquisition and implementation process continues to be an area which is reported by the media to present problems for both public and private sector organisations (Keen, 1994; Collins, 1996).

Student Work

As the youth crime rate continues to climb in the United States, concerned parents and government officials wonder how much television is influencing our nation's children.

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers children's television program has specifically been under attack by parents. CNN estimated that over 100 acts of violence per episode are being shown -- although no research supporting this figure could be found for documentation. The present study investigates the …

Yet, in recent months, the law has come to this chaotic domain, where anything goes and nothing remains unsaid. With the passage of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA), …
