The next part of the book deals with the application of feasibility study in selecting the appropriate computer and computer system.

The final part of the book covers in detail the problems of conversion to computer usage and management's responsibility in maintaining the usefulness of the computer, a theme that runs throughout the book. The emphasis in this final section is on "system analysis" and an approach to computer application as a unified system to solve prolems.
