AB  - Shows that successful businesses today are market‐led rather than
production‐driven with attention being paid to quantity, quality and
regularity of supply. Suggests successful businesses need information
systems to create niches in the market, and states that priority should
be given data creation, collection and processing. Indicates that more
up‐to‐date information is needed on literacy rates, poverty levels,
school enrolment (to name a few) among black South Africans. Gives
methods on how to improve information systems in South Africa and
reveals how an information revolution has begun in some South African
companies. Concludes that the current political upheaval in South Africa
is a prerequisite to investment in business.
