Computerized management systems
Article Abstract:
CFOs resemble Hal 9000, the computer featured in the movie '2001, A Space Odyssey.' Both are extremely intelligent, with almost human personalities and believe that they have the ultimate responsibility for the mission's success. A hypothetical situation is presented to illustrate the difficulties project managers confront in dealing with CFOs during the course of a project. The scenario is based on a real-life situation gleaned from notes in a large project's managers' meeting.
