There are many problems that face an organisation or specialist department considering the introduction of an in‐house small business computer system for possibly the first time. However, there is no doubt that the introduction of computer techniques to business organisations often make a dramatic impact on efficiency and prove invaluable in maintaining a competitive edge. Equally, there is no doubt that computerisation, unless handled by people with relevant experience, can prove to be a disastrous experience.

In the last four years, since Volume I of this Bibliography first appeared, there has been an explosion of literature in all the main functional areas of business. This wealth of material poses problems for the researcher in management studies — and, of course, for the librarian: uncovering what has been written in any one area is not an easy task. This volume aims to help the librarian and the researcher overcome some of the immediate problems of identification of material. It is an annotated bibliography of management, drawing on the wide variety of literature produced by MCB University Press. Over the last four years, MCB University Press has produced an extensive range of books and serial publications covering most of the established and many of the developing areas of management. This volume, in conjunction with Volume I, provides a guide to all the material published so far.
