Description: We live in the age of Computer Business Systems (CB Ss) the highly complex computer - intensive management programs on which large organizations increasingly rely. In Mindless Simon Head argues that these systems have come to trump human expertise dictating the goals and strategies of a wide array of businesses and de - skilling the jobs of middle class workers in the process. CB Ss are especially dysfunctional Head argues when they apply their disembodied expertise to transactions between humans as in health care education customer relations and human resources management. And yet there are industries with more human approaches as Head illustrates with specific examples whose lead we must follow and extend to the mainstream American economy. Mindless illustrates the shortcomings of CBS providing an in - depth and disturbing look at how human dignity is slipping as we become cogs on a white collar assembly line.
