The Information Era: Control the Flood by Setting Priorities
Article Abstract:
To avoid being inundated with information as a result of office automation, planners of such automation should follow a series of critical steps, according to Evelyn S. Wilk of Arthur Anderson & Co. First, create a project team and advisory team with periodic review. Do a feasibility study including the present status of office organization, the future needs, and changes a new system would invoke. Data should be gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and surveys. The flow of critical documents should be determined and the time-saving effects and long-range benefits of specific technological equipment presented. An organization chart showing systems planning for office automation is included.

Weekly patterns in Japanese stock returns
Article Abstract:
The day-of-the-week effect of Japanese stock returns was investigated by observing the Tokyo Stock Price Index. Daily returns were observed between Apr 1978 and Jun 1987, and intra-day returns were observed between Jan 1982 and Dec 1987. The results indicated that low Tuesday and high Wednesday returns were seen with close-to-close returns, and the majority of the positive returns occurred during the non-trading period. The Monday effect occurred when the preceding week ended with Friday trading, and Japan's Tuesday effect appeared to be related to the Monday effect in the US stock market.
