The explosion of computer and communications technology in the 80's elevated the importance of computer-aided engineering/computer-aided design (CAE/CAD) tools as a means of improving productivity and gaining a competitive edge in business. Nevertheless, the management of information and information technology from a strategic perspective is a concept which many companies overlook, often allowing firms with more foresight and vision to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. In the evolving global economy such lapses will be increasingly costly, and recovery will be less certain. 3 refs., 3 figs.
